sub 40min 10k queries!

Hey The Ed!

Good track session tonight, stuck to the target times pretty well:

3.41.0
3.38.4
3.39.8
3.30.3
3.31.0
3.26.2

avg: 3.34.5
Recov. 60sec

Was quite happy with this, didn't push too hard but it was still a good workout.
Also, I tried not to go too crazy with the last one like last time!

Cheers,

Joey

superb session Joey

don't get carried away and you in for a few surprises

certainly coming along nicely

TheEd

[joey12345]

Thankyou! Certainly feeling good.
A few surprises?

Joey

[TheEd]

surprises ... well in the correct race and correct attitude your ambition of a sub 40 minute 10k should be more than realised

Cheers

TheEd

maybe in that 11k race if the course is not hilly and is correctly marked you should aim for a sub 40 minute 10k there or even a sub 43 minute 11k

[joey12345]

Yeah for sure! Well the 11k race is just over a month away, so that gives time for another complete cycle before then.
I think sub 43 is definately achieveable.

My ultimate short term goal is to run a sub35 in either late July or late October (the two main races on the calendar), is this realistic?

Thanks,
Joey

[TheEd]

sub 35 minute

call it a long-term goal and it will keep us both happy

no reason you can't aim for a sub 37 minutes through this summer but lets keep things simple and achieve one goal at a time



TheEd

[joey12345]

Ha ha ok, we'll call it the long-term goal, for now.

Sub 37 sounds like a better goal to focus on at the moment!

p.s. It's the middle of Autumn here (in Australia)! Not that that is of any importance really... but anyway!

Thanks again,

Joey

[TheEd]

apologies Joey .. I did know that from before however as we are going towards summer this side I got carried away

up in the Norf of Europe it can be a long wait for speckles of sunshine

[joey12345]

Hey TheEd!

I found a race on Saturday (race day), a short-course cross country, 4k.
Pretty tough course, half of it was down hill and the other was up hill through the bush in the mud. So it was a pretty hard run.
Finished in 16.10, but it was kind of hard to compare it to anything I've done so far due to the course.

Cheers,

Joey

How's the training and routine been going?
