OP stated that she did the 8:07 in March but is back in training for 1 week before the 20min-test and 4-weeks total. She also stated that she has only 4 weeks before the 2k-TT. As a rule of thumb pace decreases by around 5sec for every doubling of the distance. That would calculate roughly to 6sec ...

I'll leave it for others to point out that it is nigh near impossible to GAIN weight when in a Calorie deficit. you can gain muscle while losing fat - this is true. it is also quite difficult although it has been done. so what you are doing is not working - you can't gain weight and have it be musc...

It is inevitable that when doing a 2k test , the lactic acid will cause an extreme amount of pain , but you do you manage/minimize it? I know people close their eyes , and Ive been told looking at your legs helps too , but does anyone have an tips to help push through the 'wall' of pain you hit? ***...

Body fat . I know im gaining muscle also but i want to be as lean as possible . I gained a pound this week and was on a very clean diet. I just dont know what im doing so wrong.

If i keep my heart rate above the 'fatburning zone' when doing a workout , will i still be burning fat as effectively ? I want to lose body fat and am constantly doing hard sessions but dont seem to be losing any. I do cardio and weight training 6/7 times a week. cardio 3+ times . Does my heart rate...
