That is correct .. 1600m .. it has the same value of a 5x1k session however you more likely to run the 1000's too fast than 1600m

the session should serve as pace 'judgement' towards the weekend runs

Enjoy

I missed the 5x1k intervals this week, due to business travel. Still, I ran a pretty good 5k race today in 24:05, felt strong throughout. The first mile was slow due to the number of entrants and lack of corrals for expected finish times, 8:00. Ran the second mile in 7:38, finished as noted above. I am encouraged by the improvement I have seen, I know I'll be cutting it close on the 10k, but, I'm still targeting a sub 50 min effort.

nice going Joe

don't be too surprised if you go through the first 5k in the 10k race very close to today's time

go well with the rest of your training

Your sub 50 min 10k training program helped a lot with the series of three races. My improvement from last years attempt at the same series was approximately a minute a mile for the 5k, 10k and 10 miler. 51:00 was my time on the 10k. My last attempt was near 56:00 min.

I believe when I find a 10k later this year I'll make it below the 50 min target.

Thanks for your help and encouragement.

nice going Joe

was wondering how things had gone and was wondering what had become of you

what were your splits like in the 10k?

My split times for the 10 k are as follows:

mile minutes
1 0:08:11
2 0:16:14
3 0:24:28
4 0:32:35
5 0:41:00
6 0:49:20
6.2 0:51:00

The course is a little hilly compared to the 5k and navigation through the crowd was also a problem.
