It was a tough run today but felt good to come in under 22:30. I had a hard time keeping pace at first because of running against the wind.

1 more week until I race a 10k. Any changes needed to the sub 45 schedule or should I just follow it as is?

Run was nice and easy today. The weather was a bit cooler today.

change the session to 3 x 5 minutes paced with 2 to 3 minutes in-between for Tuesday

a nice and enjoyable session without taking too much strain

then the rest of the week run down stays the same

Cycle 1 Day 15: Tuesday 5May2015

3x5 Fartlek session with 2.5 minute rest between. Kept 4:35 min/km pace.

Pace felt hard to keep up with today for some reason. The run still went well though.

Cycle 1 Day 16: Wednesday 6May2015
Lack of energy so I took it as a rest day.

What are your thoughts about what pace I should run my 10k race on Saturday? I was thinking to start at 4:30 for first 1k, then settle into 4:40 until 8k, then push from there.

worth giving it a go Okie

good luck for tomorrow and enjoy

10k race today. It was another PB! :great: Almost made it under 46 min but didn't quite get there. I didn't start off quite as fast as I wanted. The weather was perfect and the course was nice and flat.

I'll be out for a while (10 days or so) so after that it's :mrburns:

What is your suggested 2k times? 8:50-9:00?

[TheEd]

congrats on the PB, Okie

your pace for the 2k looks suitable, ease into the session and try keep it consistent, don't go hard and then get slower, rather start off cautious and build up the pace so you achieve a positive session

all looking good
