You are fit. Now you have to get ready to race.
Fifteen weeks for many of you of summer training. You need a few (3-5) races to get into peak racing shape. We will be shaking up the workouts over the next few weeks. Know that racing begins this week, but we keep 3 hard days. A race day is a hard day. Get in a 45 minute run afterwards, or, do 10 times 150m stride out and a 20 minute run, but get something in.
