Will,

i am trying to space out my tempo/hilly training from my long run/bike training. But we only have so many days in a week and is hard to space them out.

I focus more on my aerobic skills so I would do my tempo/hill training the day after the long training.

Ex. My long run is on wed. So on Thurs I will be doing a tempo bike ride.

Good job on the week training....
