Would like to lower my time this year. Fitness pretty good, in recent weeks I just shaved 10 minutes off Carrauntoohil time and ran my fastest road 10km. But not sure if there is something I should be doing with October in mind and specific to that type of run. Should I be doing say 50km runs now, or doing runs with say 2000m+ ascents to get vertical metres in legs, or leave that till September, should I be doing maybe back to back long slow runs on weekends, or again is that a bit OTT?
