Sub 50 goal but i cant seem to achieve in my training when i do a 10 km training run - microyan - 19-04-2012
My official 10 km race my time was 53:30 I have done back in 2010, then the same summer I did a training run of 10km and I was able to accomplish 49 mins which is unofficial since I use my gps and run at the local bike trail. I didnââ¬â¢t do any race in 2011. Starting oct last yr (2011) I bought a treadmill and I have been training for my 10 km race which is in May 2012 and I have been following the sub 50 training program on your web which I think I am in better shape now that I was back in 2010 when I accomplished my 53:30 however running 10 km on treadmill or even outside I canââ¬â¢t seem to be able to do a sub 50.
Last night I ran of 5 x 1km on treadmill with 1% inclination with 2:30 mins rest in between
1 km ââ¬â 4:45, pace = 12.6
1 km ââ¬â 4:42, pace = 12.8
1 km ââ¬â 4:41, pace =12.8
1 km ââ¬â 4:34, pace =13.1
1 km ââ¬â 4:42, pace = 12.8
I also did
3 x 2 km and my times are on treadmill with 1% inclination with 2:30 mins rest in between
2 km ââ¬â 9:15, pace: 13.0
2 km ââ¬â 9:30, pace: 12.6
2 km ââ¬â 10:05, pace: 11.9
2 weeks ago my time for 10 km on treadmill is 56:20, with 0% inclination ( I have low back issue so I cannot run too long on 1% incline. The 56:20 is my best time so far on treadmill.
I did run twice outdoor on a flat surface and using my gps and both my time was 53: 54 and last week, 10 km was 53:40.
I just cant seem to be able to run a sub 50 on a training 10 km run.
My PB on 5 km (official race) is 23:03.
What else should I boost for my training ?

try to develop a rhythm with the cycles
if you able to do the 2k session and 1k session then focus on the easy runs
keep it relaxed and easy and don't overtrain
look to reducing the REST time between the intervals
please ask questions for further assistance

Thanks The Ed.
Do you think i should try to aim for 4:30 on the 5 x 1 km interval and increase the resting time from 2:30 to 3 mins instead ?

no .. do not increase the Rest time, the secret to the training is to shorten the rest as this achieves the desired 'training zone' required
give the cycle a chance .. you will see the improvement as you develop
cheers

thanks for the feed back. i started to go for 2 mins break in my 5 x 1 km. and my average was 22:35
i have a 10km race this sat, i am just wondering what would you recommend or best strategy to achieve a sub 50. do i run a even 5mins/km or slow in the first 5 km and speed up the rest of the 5 km ?

try to stay at 5 minutes per k for as long as you can .. look to time that each km is just under 5 minutes per k
the first km is often quicker and the last km should also be quicker
use this as experience to build on
you have to be able to work from 7km, all that comes before that is easy
enjoy
