sub 40min 10k queries! - joey12345 - 14-04-2009
Hey The Ed!
Good track session tonight, stuck to the target times pretty well:
3.41.0
3.38.4
3.39.8
3.30.3
3.31.0
3.26.2
avg: 3.34.5
Recov. 60sec
Was quite happy with this, didn't push too hard but it was still a good workout.
Also, I tried not to go too crazy with the last one like last time!
Cheers,
Joey

Thankyou! Certainly feeling good.
A few surprises?

surprises ... well in the correct race and correct attitude your ambition of a sub 40 minute 10k should be more than realised
Cheers
TheEd
maybe in that 11k race if the course is not hilly and is correctly marked you should aim for a sub 40 minute 10k there or even a sub 43 minute 11k
sub 40min 10k queries! - joey12345 - 14-04-2009
Yeah for sure! Well the 11k race is just over a month away, so that gives time for another complete cycle before then.
I think sub 43 is definately achieveable.
My ultimate short term goal is to run a sub35 in either late July or late October (the two main races on the calendar), is this realistic?
Thanks,
Joey

sub 35 minute
call it a long-term goal and it will keep us both happy
no reason you can't aim for a sub 37 minutes through this summer but lets keep things simple and achieve one goal at a time
TheEd

Ha ha ok, we'll call it the long-term goal, for now.
Sub 37 sounds like a better goal to focus on at the moment!
p.s. It's the middle of Autumn here (in Australia)! Not that that is of any importance really... but anyway!
Thanks again,
Joey

apologies Joey .. I did know that from before however as we are going towards summer this side I got carried away
up in the Norf of Europe it can be a long wait for speckles of sunshine

Hey TheEd!
I found a race on Saturday (race day), a short-course cross country, 4k.
Pretty tough course, half of it was down hill and the other was up hill through the bush in the mud. So it was a pretty hard run.
Finished in 16.10, but it was kind of hard to compare it to anything I've done so far due to the course.
Cheers,
Joey
