Observations:
8km was perfect workout.
10km was somewhat challenging and signs of overtraining were beginning to manifest.
12km is where I fall apart.
--
While mental barrier to sports performance is difficult to overcome, it is all to easy to push beyond physical limits by just ignoring pain and 'persevering'.
Overtraining is a necessary warning signal but not to be too concerned that it prevents better performance. Like a canary in the mines.
Heed the warning but do not quit.

All I need now is the next few days for recovery then revert to 10km runs with focus on training for faster speeds.
