sub60 10k training - Paddy - 23-06-2015
hi, im new at the forum.
run for like 2 years now but with long breaks, those breaks came becaus i lost intrest and becaus there was no progres in a good way (no injuries).
i mean wich program you need to train if you just start, you dont know.
i started with a 5k program wich made no sense at all to me becaus it was (i think) made for people who where smoking, drinking and eating fries everyday.
my goal first is to run a sub 60 10k comfortable
and on a long term to become stronger on endurance as wel..
i am 28 years young, 85kg, 1,85cm.
no smoker, verry light drinker
try to stay healthy...!
i did my 4k time trail yesterday:
time: 21:38
avg pace: 5:21
splits
1k: 5:23 2k: 5:13 3k: 5:22 4k: 5:15
must say did not take it easy on myself
think i run a bit to fast, becaus i felt i was on my max to hold it for 4k.
the speed felt great, but in the first round i recon already that it was gonna be hard to hold on to that pace
plus i only have a notification every 1k off my pace so i had to do it on feeling..
(the gps watch is comming real soon)
could not direct figer out what my pace should be on the next steps in the program.
have a nice day,
paddy

Hi Paddy and welcome to the forums
great to see your 4k time-trial time and your other feedback and data you have supplied
here is the pace for your first 2k session:
3 x 2k @ 5.25 per k to 5.30 for a total time of 10.50 to 11 minutes per 2k
your 1k session will be 10 seconds per k quicker so:
1k @ 5.15 to 5.20 per k
highly recommens to work on pace judgement to start more than trying to run the times set. Give yourself leeway and while running see different 'markers' on the course you are running on
so you know where to be at each point of the course
this will develop your pace judgement and help your development
over to you
TheEd
ps.. we shall also change the sessions you do for the easy run, so only consider a 20 minute walk / jog tomorrow before the 2k session. The weekend long run reduce to 1hr. The idea is to stay fresh and enjoy the running while developing

hi TheEd..
sorry forgot to tell..
pace judgement was a bit difficult this time..
1 new watch offcourse need to get used to it..
2. strong winds hill up
wind in my back hill down
so going down went easy peasy.. but up was difficult..
so i decided to go a bit faster down and a bit slower up
and so to get at more and les 5:25/5:30
not sure if this was a good strategy
..
..Paddy.. :great:

and i do drink after every 10 mins..

Hi Paddy, took a little longer to get some feedback from Doc Andrew Bosch
http://www.time-to-run.com/theabc/bosch.htm
'Sounds like the smell of ammonia is from ketones; happens when you are on a diet and trying to exercise, or restricting food in some way that your body resorts to producing things called ketone bodies to provide glucose.'
he will be writing an article about this, however it may take quite a number of weeks
The 11th July .. there is a 10.6 event in Playa Blanca .. we will be participating, will it fit in with you?
cheers
TheEd
