Ran a chip time of 45:21 - a hillier course today, with a big hill near the end of the race - but I felt pretty good and in control for most of the race. Just couldn't keep it at 4:30 for km's 5 to 9 but also no major blow ups like in some of my other races.. Weighed in at 198 lbs before the race, so down about 5 lbs since my last 10K.

chim this is a good run, I take it, it is another PB
really tough about the hill at the end, however you now have a marker for this course
well done

Thank you... very happy improving by over two minutes, with only having completed two cycles of the program.. so looking forward to more..
I have three events planned to close out my running season. Would like to get your suggestions on whether to continue on with another cycle, and then just increase my longer runs to train for the half marathon coming up, or should I take a break and just run with my running group, and resume the cycle after the half marathon in October 12.
The events are as follows:
October 5 - 5k - charity untimed event - sort of want to run this one hard as I have not run a 5K before and have no PB - but my "A" race will be half marathon the following weekend.
October 12 - Half Marathon - looking to beat my time of 1 hr 51 minutes from my first half marathon in June - however I ran that one 10 lbs heavier than what I weigh now and also ran that one more conservative, so my plan is to really attack this course, and run at a more aggressive pace.
November 16 - 10K - since I wasn't able to run sub 45 in my past race, I added this race, flat course, should be perfect for me, if conditions are good, and I am at same fitness level as I was in this past weekend's race, I know I can run the sub-45.

it could be wise to have a week easy now then 1 week build-up and then roll into the cycles again, the 5k can be your marker and the half will also be fine, then solid towards November
for the rest of this week, run every 2nd day (20 to 30 minutes) and take things easy mentally
then next week Build-up - www.time-to-run.com/training/10k/buildup.htm
do week 1 and then we roll towards everything else again
please ask questions for clarity

Did the easy week, and the 1 week build up and raced my 5k yesterday (Sunday).
Finished in a time of 20:37 - course may have been a .10k short according to my Garmin. Went out a little too fast, and lost a bit of time in the uphill section at the 3K mark. Weight back up slightly to 201 lbs.
1 3:57 1.00k Avg HR 145 Max HR 151
2 4:03 1.00k Avg HR 154 Max HR 157
3 4:31 1.00k Avg HR 155 Max HR 158
4 4:36 1.00k Avg HR 154 Max HR 157
5 3:31 .90k Avg HR 156 Max HR 163
Next up is half marathon on October 12 - I'm out of town until Thursday, so will not be able to get any runs in until then.
