Thx Albert (next time, I'll include a Spanish version).
And thx Stef4n for completing the survey and the good luck wishes for the race, I really hope to get some seconds op my PR of 36:41.

Today I hardly feel yesterday's paced 5k in my legs. I hope that's a sign I can keep up that pace for 10k...

Hi TheEd,

Today I did my 3*5' in 3:52, 3:41, 3:36, HR in the 160's on average, 178 max (final interval). A bit slower than planned, but that was due to the terrain I was running. The legs felt good and I ran slightly over 18k together with warming up and some easy km afterwards. Might have been a bit much this close to the race, but I took it easy and I was enjoying the weather and nature.

Looking forward to the race!

Cheers,

Will

Hi TheEd,

My second child, a healthy baby girl, was born on the 30th of september, so I missed the race were I planned to PR.
Naturally I didn't exactly manage to get in a lot of training and sleeping hours the past few weeks, but I raced a decent 37:01 10k yesterday. I wasn't satisfied, because I finished 3rd and was nr 1 until km 8. Better race tactics, a bit more sleep or a bit more km would have made all the difference...

So back to the cycles: I will run my 2k session at the end of this week.

My best,

Will

Thanks

Does "walking in circles while holding a baby girl in order to make the baby girl sleep" count as cross training?

I have a 15k run on 18k. I'm aiming at 59:00 or less. Leonard Komon ran 41.13 (WR) on this course in 2010 and Tirunesh Dibaba ran the women's WR in 2009 (46.28), so the course is fast enough. I hope I'll be too...

[TheEd]

sounds good for cross training

so a 15k on the 18 November?

Cheers

Right, 15k on 18th of November... (lack of sleep has other effect besides making me run slower).

Hi TheEd
After a proper week of running, I managed to do a 4*2k (No time for 5*2).
The results:
time hr_ave hr_max
7:20 165 171
7:21 165 175
7:23 165 177
7:20 167 176

Pretty satisfied with those times and HRs, felt in control and pretty comfortable doing these.

Cheers,

Will
