during this period consider every 2nd day so to give you sufficient recovery
Good luck with move

Build-up for 10k race and HR advice - aistis - 03-06-2011
Hello TheEd,
It's been 3.5 years since my last post (and PB for 5k). I am back into training now, done 10k programme two times and looking to run sub 21min 5k this Saturday. I wanted to ask is it better to completely rest for 2 days before the next iteration (starting with 60-70min run), or do one or two short jogs in between? I will try to beat 18:30 by the end of the summer!
Thanks,
Aistis

you can rest however depending on level of fitness will determine whether you go for a light run
most trained athletes recover with a light run after a race however they have a higher level of fitness and the light run is known to assist the recovery
nice to have you back

Hi,
Thanks, I think I would rather rest as my legs feel a bit tired now.
I have just done sub21 5k with approx lap splits:
Lap Time Avg HR
1 00:04:17 176
2 00:04:08 190
3 00:04:11 195
4 00:04:10 199
5 00:04:06 203
What would you recommend for 2k reps for next week?
Cheers,
Aistis
