Hi TheEd,

For the 5k paced run, what time should I aim for?
Thanks,

3.35 for your last 1k ..
you do have an engine beneath the hood waiting to get out .. be patient and you will roll round to running well quite 'soonish'
let's have you running 4.20 per k for the first 4km then pickup the last 1km
no need to go quicker just yet, so be disciplined and go through with the routine
patience .. you coming along pretty well

Hi TheEd,
Here is my report from the last few days.
Day 10 Easy 1hr
D: 9.59km, Time:51:17, Pace:5:21 min/km, AHR 145
Day 12 5k @4.20k
Time Avg HR
1 04:22 143
2 04:16 164
3 04:16 159
4 04:15 160
5 03:41 171
T 20:52 159
connect.garmin.com/activity/191729709
I put everything into the last k and could not have gone any faster, even though my Max HR for this k was 177.
I also had an easy 1hr bike ride.
Day 13 1hr easy
D:10.98 km, T:57:53 Pace:5:16, AvgHR:139bpm
It was remarkably easy to maintain a 140BPM, even though my pace was pretty fast for an easy day. My normal easy pace is 5.25k, with a higher heart rate. I don't know if this is good or bad.
Questions
For Day 15, 10 x 400m what should my pace be? (1.33?)
For Day 17, as I do not have a race, what should my race pace be?
For race day should I do a 10k, or the 4k time trial?
I am enjoying the program. It is nice to run more frequently. I also like the 30mins recovery runs as they give me quality time focus on, and improve technical issues. The only problem I have is that I miss my mountain bike rides
Thanks for everything,
mic

nice going Mic .. strong last 1km .. promise in this for the future
where are you considering doing the 400m session, as we have had concern about this session causing calf muscle problems with the less experienced runners
if you are doing the session on a tartan surface or treadmill then your pace of 93 seconds should be fine
however if you planning the session for the asphalt or off road then rather change the session to 3 x 5 minutes fast @ 5k pace with 3 minutes easy in-between
your toughts?
TheEd
ps.. mountain biking can be brought in at a later stage once you have adapted to the structure
Lurker looking for direction - mic72key - 24-06-2012
Sounds good TheEd. Will try to get a tartan track.

Day 16 easy 40
Distance: 8.34 km, Time: 43:49,Pace: 5:15, AHR 145
For Day 17, we have 30m easy followed by 6x (1m fast, 1m slow, 1m race pace). What should my fast and race paces be?
For Day 19, race day, I have nothing planned. What would you propose?
Bearing in mind my stats from the first iteration of this program, would you propose that I jump straight into the second iteration, or is there any remedial work that I need to focus on?
Thanks,
Mic

Hi TheEd,
For the fartlek, I just went feeling. The last half of the session was mostly downhill. I aimed for 3.40 fast, 4.20 race paces

Hi TheEd,
I decided to do a 10k time trial today.
It did not go too well. I had to stop at 8.5k due to an asthma attack. However, it was difficult from 7k.
Distance:8.48 , Time: 37:52, Avg Pace: 4:28 AHR: 159
Here are my splits.
S Pace Avg HR
1 4:25 140
2 4:27 152
3 4:15 157
4 4:19 161
5 4:15 163

7 4:26 165
8 4:39 165
9 5:03 164

For the next cycle what time should I be looking at for the 5x2k?
Thanks,
Mic
Lurker looking for direction - TheEd - 30-06-2012
Hi Mic, for the future, never do a 10k time-trial on your own but rather look to do
4k - 5k - 6k or 8k
this allows you to achieve the test without any damage (well that is normally the plan)
hope you recover well from this and we can move forward next week
chat soon and have a great weekend

Hi TheEd,
Today is my 5x2. What pace should I aim for in this session?
Thanks,
