Sub 50min 10k if possible? - Jambo - 28-04-2015 Hi Time to Run, I have been running for a while now, completed lots of 10ks also done half marathons and marathons. Run about 3/4 times a week. My time for 10k usually range from 51-56 minutes, half marathon 2:02 and marathon 4:30 oh and 5k park runs 24-26 mins Just never seem to be able to get under 50 for the 10k. I have a race on the 25th May. Height 5'11 Weight 92kg. Training regime at the moment consists of 50-75 miles per month. Do my 10k runs on a little trail loop I've found usually takes me 55 minutes. Do my fartlek and inclines sessions on my dreadmill. Your input is most welcome and I would like to start a 10k program. Also would the time trails be ok on the treadmill, also have a garmin monitor with a Hr strap plays up sometimes. Cheers Jambo Sub 50min 10k if possible? - TheEd - 30-04-2015 Hi Jambo and welcome to the forums you may get results from the 1st cycle and you may not, but you will get a lot of feedback and knowledge gained before the 25th May race are you able to put a 4k time-trial in on the weekend and then we can start with day 1 next Tuesday treadmills can be used for the test if you get the garmin to work then any feedback would be great over to you TheEd Sub 50min 10k if possible? - Jambo - 30-04-2015 Hi TheEd, Thank you for the welcome. I have just done a 12k steady run yesterday, so got a recovery run today/tomorrow so I will do the 4k time trial on Saturday I think. I will be in touch with results and will try to get HR monitor working? Garmin works fine. Thanks Jamie.

Sub 50min 10k if possible? - TheEd - 08-05-2015 and now for the 2k feedback ![]() TheEd Sub 50min 10k if possible? - Jambo - 08-05-2015 Hi TheEd, Here is the feedback. 1k warmup nice and easy. 2k session with 90s-2mins rest 1k 4:54 2k 4:51 rest 1k 4:47 2k 4:52 rest 1k 4:46 2k 4:47 Average Hr 133bpm Max Hr 157bpm Rests average hr 105bpm All felt pretty good but the last 2k was a bit of a push to keep the pace. Heart seemed nice and steady throughout and rest / recovery seemed good. May just do a couple of km tonight as a leg loosener at say 5:30/5:40 pace, would that be ok. Let me know your thought?
