10K Training Program Question

[TheEd]

Hi Daryl

you could go straight into the sub 40 minute program especially if you have been training on a program already and you are used to paced running and a few longer runs thrown in-between

you could start with Day1 on Tuesday and Day 3 the 5x2000m is when the program really starts

provide feedback and we can balance you to train towards your main race

Trail runs can be a bit dodgy due to the uphills and downhill nature of the courses with muscle fatigue often being a problem

so you would have to make the decision

what you could do for now if you want a marker is to do a 4k time-trial preferably on a 400m track with 400m lap splits

this is always the best test to refer back to

Maybe consider doing it on Monday?

Cheers
