Saturdays during this part of the season can be a race or a moderate run. Using the indoor season to have some fun, and try some non prime distances is a great idea. It shakes up your normal days of running and gives you some speed work.
During indoor, my key rule is racing shorter or longer than the key distance. for milers, 800m, 1000m or 3000m are great. For 5000m, 800m, 1000m, and 1,500m are great, even an 8
