Hi Ed,
thanks very much for your post.I think yes certainly would like to stick with the program and yes break free of an old mind set of how to do things,i feel some what difficult about what ive wrote didn't mean any form of disrespect in your programs, after all you are very kindly providing a fantastic service.What does go though my mind as an example is this...say you have a runner who spent 3 months on his program then goes back to base training...completes then goes back to his program to start the cycles for another 3 months can you point out to me where the progression comes in because it seems like a repeat cycle but not really going forward in terms of stepping up to the next level as 3.18 per k would probably be too hard for most over 2 k reps to start with.so at a guess you would start back maybe 10 seconds a drift,3.28 etc..how would it fair out if you were to focus on 5k pace first and move towards 10k pace closer to race day..with the mental edge that your actually running faster then you need to early on and feel more comfortable at 10k pace later...not knowing the science of the program i can only put my thoughts on the forums again i would like to say your thoughts and time are greatly respected on this and how the adaptations take place best wishes and thanks jon.
