magic April

I was only wondering about you this weekend

So good to hear from you...

I have questions:

- Can I switch day 6 with day 7?
day 6 - Rest
day 7 - 40min light jog/run TALK TEST select a route with 2 to 3 light hills.

- day 4: warm up then run your 5K route at a pace 1 min slower than previously.
Not sure how do I pace myself in order to be 1 min slower???

that should be fine

the pace for 5km .. simply run slower in the beginning

its not the end of the world if you don't get it right just set a marker for the future

Hi TheEd

You had a good Christmas?

I have been religiously following the training program and I'm into Second 2 week cycle. So far, I'm doing pretty ok with my run.

Do you think I could manage a half maranthon race next May? And how should I prepare and train for it?

Christmas Greetings to you

if you get into routine you should very definitely be able to cope with a Half marathon

Cheers

Hi TheEd

I have been silence for a long time.

I have been running, running, runnning... I finished the 10km training program and went on to signup for a 12km race in Apr 11 and a half marathon on May 29.

I'm doing the races with a group of friends and we have decided to adopt a training program which 1 of them is using to train for his triathlon.

Training has been tough but I'm beginning to enjoy the long run, running along scenic routes. I think for the 1st time, I'm actually enjoying my run.

It's different training by following a program. I miss training with you and I want to comeback to train with you again...

Hi TheEd

I'm back after missing for a whole last year.
I attempted 3 half marathon and I did 2 10km last year.
I did 58mins for my 10km and I hope to bring it down to 55mins. Would you be able to help me to achieve my goal of sub55?

Aim sub 55 minute 10k

and then we can start planning in the new thread
