I'm a 37yr old guy that has runned since 2004. I average about 50k/wk over the year. My PBs are 37:49 10k, 1:21:22 half and 2:54 marathon.

My aim for next year is to break 37min 10k and 1:20 for the half. The thing is, I have a very twisted running profile. I ran 2:58 for the marathon, but I could barely do sub 40 for the 10k. I'm very comfortable at speeds from anaerobic threshold to marathon (which in my case is approx 15s/k apart). I can up my milage from 50k/wk to around 90k/wk and do sessions at marathon speed, like 4x5k, 3x6k etc) without any problems. But as soon as I try to do VO2 sessions I'm faaaar of the calculated pace I should be able to sustain. I does get somewhat better after a few weeks, but I suffer immensly trying to do these sessions.

How should I go about the quality sessions (1000's and 2000's) in your program? Should I try to stick to 3'30/k for 1000's even if the last reps will be slower and then gradually get better or should I find the pace that takes me through all reps? The 2000's scare me! Too me, running 90 min at 4-pace/k is so much easier that doing 5x2000m at 3'40/k with only 60-90s rest.

Any suggestions on how to break through this anaerobic ghost of mine? I would be very thankful for any suggestions that could help me reach my goals for next year! :please: ]]> 10K Training Feedback Swerunner http://www.time-to-run.com/forums/showthread.php?t=730 http://www.time-to-run.com/forums/showthread.php?t=729&goto=newpost Wed, 18 Nov 2009 10:40:39 GMT Hi, i am training for my first 10k and i have skipped doing an official 5 or 8k race, but have run for longer than both distances in training. i... Hi,

i am training for my first 10k and i have skipped doing an official 5 or 8k race, but have run for longer than both distances in training.

i am a 26 year old, 178lbs male, just quit smoking.

i used to be a couch potato and started cycling over this summer, in september i added running starting out with run walking and i progressed to just runnning in october.

i was progressing along quite nicely until i tried to do a 70 minute run yesterday... last week i did a 60 minute run without much trouble, but on this one i had to resort walking like 7 or eight times... might have been just a bad day but you never know so i need some feedback

the race is on 9 januari so i have 7 weeks left. I thought i start the beginner 10k program 4 weeks out, and thought i work on speed the three weeks i have left till i start the 10k program. I would like to finish in 1 hour but can only sustain 6:35 per KM right now(at a 180-185bpm heartrate).

Any thought on getting the best training in those three weeks.

i can run 4 or 5 days a week given my current worklife. ]]> Beginners Area miesjhel http://www.time-to-run.com/forums/showthread.php?t=729 http://www.time-to-run.com/forums/showthread.php?t=728&goto=newpost Wed, 18 Nov 2009 10:26:34 GMT Downloads: A new file has been added by TheEd: Oude Molen Elgin 21km Results 2009...

Great site! I used it approx 3 years ago to run a 19:10 5k on 1-1-07! Was injured for awhile but recently started up again and came to this site for some advice. Hope you can help. I ran a 5 mile tempo last monday in 35:41 increasing my pace per mile with each mile final mile in 6:57 rested 2 days and on thursday the 11-12-09 I ran the 5 x 2000 with 90 secs rest at the local 400m track in 8:38, 8:15, 8:06, 8:03, and 7:57 felt great! Tough workout though and ran 30-40 mins for 2 days then did the 90 min run on sunday avg HR 135 approx. 10.7 miles. I am planning either a 5k or 8k on Thanksgiving morning and I am wondering how the rest of the days should be planned any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
