[RunChris]

Ok noted on that. Will try to do cycling for recovery.

Completed 5x1k inverval
1. 4:30 138
60s rest
2. 4:36 137
90s rest
3. 4:32 158
90s rest
4. 4:34 170
120s rest
5. 4:38 173

Struggling with the last set, legs feel tired and took a longer rest before it.

I plan to do at 5k paced run this Sunday and then reset the training cycle on next Tuesday with Day 1 (60 to 70min easy distance)

Hope I can stick to the 3,5,8 days since I will be overseas for holidays during that period, prob there wont be any easy runs in between those days just walking.

do what you can do over this holiday period and see what can be done in the New Year

have a great time

Did a 5km time trial on track the day before in 23:50
Weather was hot and humid but managed to complete the 5k

Split and HR:
1. 4:50.9 155
2. 4:46.5 170
3. 4:45.8 172
4. 4:45.7 173
5. 4:40.5 175

Thinking whats the best way to run this weekend for the 10k?
First 5k at 5min pace, then last 5k try to push for 4:50?

take a look at this article:

Race Your Best 10km

http://www.time-to-run.com/training/10k/...t-10km.htm

this takes time to achieve, the more you practise the method, the more successful your results shall become

enjoy
