Hi TheEd,
Thanks! The sub-40 program definitely still seems the best choice. In the 5x2k, should I still try for a 4:00 pace and, if i'm able to do so, do the last two a bit faster? Or should I try a different pace? 4:00 still sounds challenging enough, especially within a week after a race.
The race went well. Kilometers 5 to 7 were a bit slower, because I chose to run from one group to the next right before turning a corner, running into a long straight road with a lot of headwind. It took me a while before I could catch up with them. I feel that if I would have had a bit more "power under the hood", I would have been able to catch up with them sooner, 'rest' a bit in that group during the part with the headwind and then ran towards a sub-38 minute.
Rest today and tomorrow 60 to 70 minutes easy distance.
All the best,
Will
