with a week to go you are able to juggle the days around as the training has come down a fair amount
ideally you look to put a paced run in before the 10k race of the 10th May
look to do 5k @ 10k pace when you can, before the 3rd May or after on the Monday
hope this helps

Hello Ed
Did the Fartlek Session today - 10 min warm up then 3 x 5min @ 10k pace with 1min easy with 10 min cool down. Set target of 4:45 - 4:50/Km and achieved that on each interval which was a big positive to me.
Split Time Distance Avg Pace
1 5:00.0 1.04 4:49
2 5:00.0 1.04 4:48
3 5:00.0 1.04 4:49
Legs felt good after yesterday's 10 mile run so something's starting to happen
Thanks

Day 3 to Day 8 are tough intentionally, then with the come down in training, you should start feeling the benefits
so good to hear

Thanks for all your help and input

Good evening Ed
Didn't run yesterday as work and weather got in the way, but went out this afternoon.
Plan was an easy 30/40 mins but my legs felt so good I just let them decide the pace and went with the flow and even had enough gas left to set my third ever fastest time on the final segment. Very happy with my performance which I'm convinced is down to the training plan. My Garmin lost satellite for a while so actual distance was 6.09 and the time was out slightly as well.
Time: 52:16
Moving Time: 49:55
Elapsed Time: 52:21
Avg Pace: 9:05 min/mi
Avg Moving Pace: 8:39 min/mi
Best Pace: 5:12 min/mi
Avg HR: 156 bpm
Max HR: 173 bpm
Split Time Distance Avg Pace
1 10:13.5 1.00 10:23 ( that's where the satellite lost signal)
2 8:28.8 1.00 8:33
3 8:51.7 1.00 8:52
4 8:47.4 1.00 8:51
5 8:50.0 1.00 8:51
6 6:38.2 0.77 8:40
I'm off tomorrow and am torn between an 8.5 mile trail run or a 10 mile plus road/lane run - any advice?
Thanks
Keith

Hi Ed
Decided on the Trail run as I thought being off road might be good for my joints
It was a tough route but I really enjoyed it, though my legs are feeling it now
Distance: 8.77 mi
Time: 1:33:55
Avg Pace: 10:43 min/mi
Elevation Gain: 1,122 ft
Avg HR: 155 bpm
Max HR: 169 bpm
I would welcome some advice on when to start the next cycle. I'm working tomorrow and have a 6am start Sunday to time a cycle sportive. Next week I'm back van delivering so will have more energy and time to run in the afternoons. Saturday we go to Limerick for the run - I might have time for a 40 min or so run there that evening - and return by breakfast time on the Monday again giving me time that evening.
I'm then off all week.
Any suggestions would be welcome
Thanks
Keith
