Personal:

I'm a Brit living in a small town in the south west of Germany, on the edge of a nature park, the Schwäbisch-Fränkischer Wald. The landscape is very hilly with vineyards & orchards on the lower slopes merging into forest above. 42 years young, married since 1997 to my lovely wife.

A.M. Still tired, not through running but 3 consecutive nights of poor sleep. Kept the trail run short and easy and a focus on technique. 'Hot bricks' running - short stride, light & rapid turnover. Total 12,1k in 59:29, av pace 4:55/k, 7:55/mi.

Evening - crashed out for an hour, then went out for a short  run, bit groggy at first. 10k in 50:19, av pace 5:02/k, 8:06/mi.

What do you do for a living? Does your job allow you to take a nap? Sorry you aren't getting good sleep.

Maybe it's time for an easy week....I know if my training load starts creeping towards the limit or if I have a particularly hard day, I have trouble getting good sleep. You're running really well right now, so easing off the pedal for a week shouldn't hurt things.
