36 min 10k by dec 30th! (hopefully)

hey TheEd,

back again with a vengeance! ha, so the closest program that suits me is the sub 35 but I'm struggling with 1000s at the moment. Had a go tonight but after the second I dropped off to 800s as I was goosed!

Is it beneficial to carry on with the 1000s or drop down? I train with a guy who's going for a 34 so there is a big gap between us on the track at the minute ha.

times were:

1) 1000 - 3.14 (too fast for me)
2) 1000 - 3.25 (too slow)
3) 800 - 2.43
4) 800 - 2.38
5) 800 - 2.44

As I mentioned, I do really want a 36 by xmas but I just ain't seeing any improvements! thanks for any advice in this matter.

Si:yes:

do a 4k time-trial tomorrow so we are able to provide you with your own pace targets for training next week

aye wull do but have to be next week as I've got a hearty fell race on saturday..
thanks for the reply

OK .. if we were to leave out the 4k time-trial then we have to look at a specific time for the sessions

the most beneficial session is the 5 x 2k with 90 seconds rest session

if you were to consider starting at 3.35 to 3.40 per k for that session, this would give you a great indication of where you stand currently in your training towards your 10k goal

over to you

TheEd
ps.. the 2k session can be considered for next Thursday
