Improving 10k with regular training - MMS - 14-05-2010
Hi Coach,
Remember when I told you I missed the quality sessions? Well, I take back what I said. The 2000ôs yesterday made me rethink (Just kidding)
. I forgot how tough they are! :pNow seriously: It was really nice to be back. The 2000ôs are meant to be tough, and they were. During the first rep I tried to feel how fast I had to go, thatôs why I finished slower than programmed. The others were done in time but, of course, increasingly tougher.
Hereôs the feedback of the week, so far.

The only unusual thing was the higher avr of the easy runs, comparing to same runs weeks ago under this colder temperature. But during warm up yesterday, hrôs were back to normal levels.
Have a nice weekend!

During the 1000s I wanted to increase pace after 2 reps just to see if I coul handle it. I was hard, of course, but manageable. FYI: I ran 1K for the first rep, then I ran back to starting point for the next rep. This way, reps 1,3 and 5 are equal, the same with 2, 4 and 6.
My foot is fine and I still keep icing it after every run.
I plan to follow the schedule but not sure what to do this Friday, aiming the 10k race this Sunday. Perhaps 30min should be fine, right?
Iôm still not sure what to do on the race day. I believe that 50min is a good starting point. I mean, after the 3rd Km Iôll have an idea if I can reach a sub 51, 50, 49, etc... No worried at all with PB.
Cheers.

you do that 6 x 1 min @ 10k pace with 1 minute in-between
in total 30 minutes with warm up and down included
On Thrsday you can go for an easy 30 to 40 minutes
then Rest
and
Race
enjoy
TheEd
ps.. must feel good to be rolling again and your approach to the run should be to finish feeling strong, so don't go out quickly and then build up the pace, seeing if you can run slightly stronger over the last 3km

Hi Coach,
Had a nice run this Sunday. The result, 47:58. Really happy with that. The course was flat most of the way. We ran 5k and then would come back from the other side of a large avenue. The on hilly part was a bridge at the first km and, of course, at the last near the finish line.
The HRM went crazy. I saw it when I checked the result. BPMââ¬â¢s of 150 in the middle of the race, including a whole km with avr of 199!
The splits are here:

Followed your advice and started at a comfortable pace and then speed up a bit. Felt tired in the end because I had a short sprint when a realized I could run a sub 48. That was close! :jester:
My next 10k race is on June 27th, 5 weeks from now. Iââ¬â¢m traveling on vacation on June 2nd and hope not to miss any run. :whistle:
Now, how do we from here? Keep sub45 as it is or are there any adjustments?
Thanks again for your advice. :great:

nice going MMS .. no need to adjust anything as your body will absorb the sessions better now and you should get more benefit
so stick to the sub 45 minute 10 km program for now

Felt more comfortable during the 2000s. Rest heart rate showed some improvement compared to previous session. :p Warm up and cool down of 10 minutes.
I intend to follow the 3 week cycle during my trip that starts next Wed. I'll be back to Brazil on the 13th, when I travel again to my hometown. There it's easy to keep the schedule.
I'll post another feedback on Tue, after the 1000s.
How's your running these days? Any big race on your radar?
Thanks.

MMS .. you are training very sensibly and judging by your easy paced runs you seem to have learnt a fair amount about your running
quite sure the rewards via results should be coming soon

Hi Coach,
just had the 1000s. First time did a quality session in the morning. It was harder than expected. It was rainy (light) but windy.
Could manage an overall faster pace than previous session, but it was tough while facing the wind for a while.
