Sub40 goal midlife crisis? - Tallon - 05-12-2015
Did a 1.5km race today in 5min13. (3min30 pace) Pleased how the first cycle made me feel fitter and weight dropped from 79kg to 77kg. Starting second cycle of the sub45 program next tuesday 8/12.

nice to see the progress
where you see your top heart rate / pulse of 166, we would like this to develop where you get up to around 170+ with time and development and that you then will be running closer to 3.55 per k
so that gives you an idea of development
all looking good and nice to see the improvement
on we go

day 19 race day
No race was planned so did a 10k time trial :
1km 4m19 bpm141
2km 4m11 bpm159
3km 4m15 bpm145
4km 4m23 bpm142
5km 4m37 bpm133 (due to streets)

10km 4m19 bpm131
Total 44m07: new PB (before 46m24) -> Thank you TheEd
Heart rate data can't be right, looks way too low (TomTom Cardio Multisport). Effort 5/5 (mentally?) although i never felt like dieing except in the last km. Calves with cramps after the run.
I think I can a start 3rd sub45 cycle on tuesday 29/12/2015 but will do the quality sessions closer to or above 170bpm as instructed.
Once the third cycle is finished I will have to do the offtraining program?
Cheers

nice going Tallon and congrats, do note, we don't truly recommend running a 10k alone, as it can be really tough, but on this occasion it did the trick for you
off-training now is a good time, as this time of year there are so many distractions
enjoy and season greetings to you

Dear TheEd:
So far i have done 2 sub45 cycles and now I am doing offtraining/easy running only this week as recommended.
There is a 10k race on 03-Apr-2016. That is 13 weeks away. How would I plan the program's building blocks?
Regards
Sub40 goal midlife crisis? - TheEd - 04-01-2016
Hi there, after this easy period, look to run a 4k time-trial, if possible
then from there we can set a pace for you for you sessions and look to go on the sub 40 minute 10k program, however we change the pace according to the 4k result
we will work cautiously through the 1st cycle to see how you adapt
how does this sound?
