Hej Da Ed!
Thank's for your quick reply. I like this site alot! I stumbled over the forum yesterday and read through some of the treads. This convinced me to try your program as one gets good feeback on the training and progression. Since my target for next year is to break 80min for the half and better my 10k PB it seems that this could do me good.

I've just came out of 8wks marathon training. I followed a Canova inspired program from a friend and did approx. 90k/wk of which 40-45k were runned at goal marathon pace (3'55-4'00/k). I was in 2.52-2.53 shape, but I blew up as I went for 2.48 :duh:
4wks into the program I ran the half in 1.21.22 at even pace (that's my thing), killing my PB with 1min 23s. After the marathon, I rested 1wk, then I got the flu and I started my base work just now (after three weeks rest). I'm planning on doing 60-70k/wk with hill sprints, progressive runs and long runs. I january I'm going to Kenya to train for 2 wks :wow: Then I'm ready to embark on your program in order to obtain my goals.
Training facillites
I'm lucky as I live next to a huge area with a lot of running paths in the forest as well as just next to a 400m tartan track. So yes, I can do speed work on a track. If you want I can do a 4k time trail next week just to see where I land, but this would be without any speed training for 6 months including a flu and 3wks rest.
Well, so basically I'm ready to go through your cycles from january and keep on it til august. Hopefully I'll see some new PB's
