Hi Kyuss, let me know how the calf muscles feel after this session
for the 5k .. start out at 3:45 to 3:50 per k and see how things go enjoy TheEd
Hi,
Calf muscles feels fine but trained, the left calf is not as 'stiff' as the right leg this could be since i ran left in the 400s. I put anti inflamatory gel on my legs after the 400s yesterday then and i had a healthy meal with salmon after, and protein straight before bed. My plan today is a easy bike, my feet always feel warm and fresh after this session. Looking forward for the painful 5k now, this will be on a asphalt road and it will be 2,5km and then 180 turn around, basicly same route as my sub 40 10k. Best regards Kyuss Elevation of the 5k:

Hi Kyuss, most important to take care of the calf muscles as it can lead to other complications .. shin splints .. achilles .. ankle problems
your 5k route looks special ![]() TheEd

Hello Ed, My 5k run today did not go as planned, i'm sorry to disappoint. I could already feel it on the warmup that this was not the day, my hr was elevated a lot on easy run pace. The weather was the warmest so far this year, about 24 celcius with direct sunlight, my body is currently used too 3-7 celcius (winter is just over). Warmup: 2,57 km / easy pace and strides. To the "race": I started out way to hard, running my first 400 meters in slight uphill in 3:08 - 3:30 m/km pace, i tried to slow down when i got to the top, but i guess wanted more than i was ready for and stayed around 3:40. Splits: 1 / 3:42 m/km / 178 bpm / 186 bpm max 2 / 3:43 m/km / 187 bpm / 190 bpm max Boom, i stopped when i could see that i suddenly was on 4:00 pace right after the last split. Probably could have just finished it with a ok time, but i did not want to push it more if could not get to around 18:30s. After this i walked/jogged back to my car and i was so dissapointed by my mistake. Driving home i was a bit pissed off, so i drived to a Strava uphill segment and took a 2 year old KOM by 6 seconds (3:29 m/km / 440m / 10% grade). What will you advice me to do from now on? should i give my body a easy week before i start prepping for the 5th of June race? Best regards Kyuss

What is our tought of taking the 1000s to the next level?
I see that people with more milage and with more experience run 10 x repeats instead of 6x. If adding 4 more reps, should the speed be a few sec slower and the rest 90 sec? Today i will run 6 x reps, but im thinking of maybe upgrading after this cycle.
Hi there Kyuss .. the program is specific to achieve certain elements
the 5 x 2000m session is the 10k pace session and the 6 x 1k is the 5k pace session the 60 second rest is imperative for the 1000m session the 2000m session is more superior to doing 10 x 1000m and develops speed endurance in a more specific way I would advise against changing things, first get the results off the least amount before tinkering also note, that these programs (framework) were used in a squad system, a sub 35 minute 10k was the slower end of group in the group: 2 athletes were sub 29 .. 2 athletes sub 30 .. 6 athletes sub 31 .. 6 athletes sub 32 so the system works in your case, things are going well, be more reserved and enjoy the process, unfortunately, I am not around to monitor the sessions but can advise against becoming too keen .. get some results under the belt and see from there I hope this helps for more detail see: www.time-to-run.com/theed/10k-training/behind-the-programs onwards TheEd ps.. take a look at this link to see a newspaper clip relating to athletes on the program https://www.time-to-run.com/forums/Threa...ly-Mileage
