, but then was worried about recovery. Do I need 3 days to recover after the speed work?  Also, on a side note, am finding all the sessions v hard and don't seem to be getting any faster..... Thanks Fine to swap sessions around, remember these plans are a guide

to carry out two weights sessions a week as well but not too sure when I should do them to make sure I'm getting enough recovery?Any suggestions greatly appreciated.... If It's any help I combine speed sessions on the treadmill with weight sessions. I run 4
