You use a lot of rest on your tempo days.
I’m curious about you/your coach’s reasoning for it?
My coach’s wife had a baby a few weeks ago, and I haven’t heard from him since. The long distance coaching relationship has taken a back-seat.
I’m taking a lot of rest since I’m starting to transition to more speed endurance type speeds while keeping the volume relatively high. That’s my theory at least.
Hopefully my coach will resurface soon.
