nice first 5km - 22:36 .. your sub 45 will come with a good attitude in the future

off-period followed by Build Up

and remind me about the half marathon and date once you start on the Build Up, please?

Cheers and enjoy

I hope sub45 will become something natural next year!

I´m satisfied with what I accomplished this year. I got back to a training routine after my Achilles problem, also ran two sub45min 10k races. I´m more experienced and motivated to achieve better results next year.

I´d like to especially thank you for all your support and advice through this year. Without all this, I probably wouldn´t have accomplished this results. :great:

Hi Coach TheEd,

I started the Off Period and I´m also slotting my runs in the morning. It´s an attempt to get my body used to the morning races, as I still feel am runs harder than pm ones. I intend to keep doing this during Build Up and hopefully am quality sessions in the future won´t be too hard.

You´ll notice higher AHR comparing to my pm easy runs, although it´s been a warm week as well.

Hi TheEd,

I entered the second week of the Off Period today. I´m still keeping my morning runs. Some of them were easy, some not that much.

Hi TheEd,

I finished today the Off Period and I´m going to start Build up tomorrow. You asked me to remind you of my plans to run a half marathon in April (it will be on the 10th) and a 10k race probably on March 27th.

So, the schedule would be like this:

Dec 13th – Jan 24th: Build up 2 Cycles with 4k Time Trial (6 weeks)

Jan 25th – Mar 28th: 3 Cycles of 10k program (9 weeks)

Mar 27th: 10k Race

Mar 29th – Apr 9th: 2-week Cycle

Apr 10th – Half marathon
