should all be good and should set you up nicely for the race

Understood, so tomorrow I will do the 3 x 5 min session with a 10 min easy jog as a warm up and an easy 5 min jog afterwards for a cooldown.

Hi TheEd,
On Tuesday I did the 3 x 5 min session. 10 min warm up, 5 mins at race pace, 5 mins easy x 3 then a 5 min cooldown.
Session was tougher than anticipated due to not eating and drinking enough through the day...... The reason, I was non stop busy all day, as I found out I was travelling to India first thing Wedensday morning, so my race and all other training has gone out of the window for the moment.
I am going to try and keep some sort of running going on the hotel treadmill if possible, otherwise back to square one....
Best Regards.
Dean.

Hi TheEd,
Terrible haha......
I am still in India, I have had to cut back the training a little as I only have 45-60 mins to train on a morning before work. Just not possible on a night as I have no idea what time I am back in the hotel.
Plan for the week if I can achieve it.....
Wednesday - 45 min easy jog
Thursday - Interval session, I won't be able to do 2km session as not enough time.
Friday - Strength
Saturday - 35-40 min easy
Sunday - Hopefully get a day off and fit in a long dull treadmill jog.
Best Regards.
Dean.

OK dean, good luck with the change to routine, keep the running more as an enjoyment and not as a stress
onwards

Hi TheEd,
I have enough stress with work, so not going to add to it with my training.
I am just doing what I can when I can, and enjoying it 
Best Regards.

Hi Dean, hope all good your side and things are beginning to become balanced

RE: 10km Training - Want to be XC Ready by October - dmw9255 - 06-12-2019
Hi TheEd,
I don't quite have the balance to keep to a consistent routine due to work travel. I am still plodding along, but taking it easy, as my left achilles is reminding me why I tend to do more easy jogging than running hard and racing.
Since I was last on the forums in India, I have traveled to PNG, Slovakia, Saudi and have an imminent trip to Qatar. As the trips are usually 2-4 weeks in duration, it is incredibly difficult to get any consistency.
I am splitting my time between my indoor bike and running outdoors.
I am hoping for a bit more balance in the new year, but who knows??
Best Regards.
Dean.
