Hi TheEd - I did it! 
I ran 39:39 in yesterday's 10km. Under 40 for the first time. Thanks very much for the training program and advice that you generously pass on.
It was almost perfect conditions on a flat 2 lap course, just a bit of breeze to contend with which obviously helped in one direction and hindered the other. We were running into for kms 7, 8 + 9 which was a challenge.
My splits are below. It felt easy and fast at the start then I put the brakes on a bit too much before hitting the right pace. Then finished with a bit of a spring in my step thanks to the finish line pulling me forward.
Now back to the program for two cycles before aiming to run a quick 5km on 1 Nov.
Thanks again!
