Thanks for the help through this process I have seen a pretty big improvement in my conditioning as a result of your program.
I am nearing the date of the first of 3 races in March and nearly through the 3rd cycle of the sub 50 min training plan. Today I completed the 5k paced run and am happy with the results: 24:18 with an average hr of 157 for the run, a max hr of 167 bpm. This run was performed outside and on a track at about 32F.
If I continue on with the 3rd cycle I will be running the 10k race/time trial on a Sunday, the following Saturday will be the first race a 5k, two weeks after that on Saturday the second 10k race, and two weeks after that a 10 mile race. How can I best use the time between now and the 10k race day to acheive the best performance on that day? The 5k and 10m races are secondary goals at this time.
Here are the dates of the time trials and planned races:
Saturday, February 16, 2008 5k Paced Run 24:18
Sunday, February 24, 2008 10k Time Trial
Saturday, March 01, 2008 Anthem 5K
Saturday, March 15, 2008 Rhodes City 10K
