This is my third week of following the training and I was shocked by my repeat times.
Below is a comparison of the 5 x 400 repeats from week 1 and the 6 x 400 repeats from week 3
WHAT GIVES!!!! Clearly the majority of my times are slower - but as I am looking at it - my recovery repeats (in general) on the 16th are faster than my recovery repeats on the 2nd. Maybe I answered my own question - maybe my resting repeats were too fast. I went back and read the instructions for repeats and the resting repeats are to be walked or jogged. So I guess I should slow down more during the recovery period. Who knows - maybe I am not only getting older but slower . . . no matter how hard I fight it. ;-)

Peace and take care out there. ;-)
I'm sure you answered your own question...slow down more and actually recover during recovery :)
