Another small update.
Due to various timing issues, I did the 10k timed run today only. Result was 43:20 (so 4:20/km), which was what I aimed for. But: it was really not fun. Somehow I never got into a flow, was close to stopping after about 2k, almost decided to give up after 5k (21:11min) etc..
So, I think I'll do another 3-4 weeks (with the timed 10k scheduled for either 11th Dec or 15th Dec depending on weather and how I feel like). I probably won't run on the track but in a park (with gps watch) and without any specific aim in mind. Then I'll take a break and do 6 weeks of the build-up (possibly including longer runs if I feel like it).
