sub 40 10 k. Please advise

[robbie_1000]

for further clarity

a session such as 10x400m would be 10 seconds per k faster to give the 3k pace session

the 6x1000m is to develop the 5k speed

theoretically the idea is have you eventually running your 5x2000m session at 3.50 per k within 6 months

this is all possible via patience and the correct development

patience and consistency is the key

do the sessions and work together and you should be looking at a sub 39min 10k by the year end

That's a good session

there is certainly visible improvement

still trying to get a handle on your rest pulse but this will become more clear with time

Thanks

Another easy 30 today 6k no worries :p
I need to lose a day and this sunday would be ideal as i'm going to struggle to run then. Unless i sneak out extremley late at night - but honestly don't fancy that!
So can i drop this sunday and maybe move things round a little so i am at optimum 5k race pace for the 15th

[TheEd]

drop the Sunday and then roll towards the race as normal

placing the Thursday session on Friday and replacing Thursday with 20 to 30 minutes relaxed as you feel

I take it you understand how to apply the 6x1 min session now?

Ok being lame sorry.
I checked the schedule out. Today was an easy 1hrs run.
managed 40mins 7.8k 40mins ahr151 mhr165. It was tough as i had to do it on the road
Tomorrow was a scheduled rest day anyway which is cool.

I swapped things round as you said, then removed the 1hr easy run that should have been on tuesday and shuffled everything back by 1 day so here goes:
Mon 5K paced run - aim sub 20:00 5k
Tues easy day of 30min running
Wed easy 20-30mins
Thu start with 10 x 400m R 60 400/86sec - no faster P
Fri 30min easy 6x1min fast with 1min slow - 1min @ Race Pace F
Sat Rest
Sun Race day :whistle:

Ok?

[TheEd]

swap Tuesday and Thursday around and you should be fine

Cheers

5k paced 19.12secs ahr161 mhr171.
Legs felt heavy today and i could do no more :noway:
I have a change of plans now for race day. I won't be running the 5k fast as i'll be running it with the other half instead

So shall i carry on with the sub 40 plan as normal or revert back to week one as i did before when i didn't have an actual race planned?

Cheers Ed

[TheEd]

Cheers
