basically doing brick sets once a week which include 5x (6 min bike build then 1k builds of run) also a
14k -16k run at 75-80% max hr....
30 min fartleg run and 2k run off one ride per week...
struggling on a speed session set and rest periods....had thoughts of 15 x 400 on 2 min holding 1.28-1.30......aim to run 40 min off bike......age is 40+ Thoughts???? [/ul]

Speed work1:30 for 400m isn't speed. Tie enough of them together & you would do 37.5min for 10km.
Very familiar story of doing the easy runs too hard & the hard runs too easy. Nearly everyone does it because it is counter to everything we are told of "no train, no gain" etc
Second those comments about doing key sessions. Recovery is as important as the training. Can only do quality work if recovered from other training
Have a good one
