How to get a Big Swede running fast!

[Big Swede]

Hi and welcome Big Swede

Thanks!

some of your PB's look a little suspect, particularly the 5k in comparison to the 10k time.

If you have indeed run sub 20 minutes on an accurate course then I do believe there is a lot of scope for you.

sub 4 minutes per km is a good marker and especially in relation to age

impressive time for 92 kg, I might add

The 5k time was done in perfect conditions on a 400m track whith the help of a friend that held the pace for me. It was a real strugle but the mind did beat the body this time! Nobody expected me to do sub20.

The 10k time is actually 10,05k and was hilly(?) highwaycourse. I think my weight might be more of a burden on the longer races, therefore my PB´s look suspect. But i belive that i can do 42 something on 10k today.

what sport did you do previously to taking up running?

I havent been doing any sports since I was 19 years old. Just some random tennisgame now and then.

You mention this
"It feels like I have improved the Anaerobe threshold to 160-161 since the test."

on first look at your data I thought that your threshold was a little low and it can indeed be trained up and with weight loss everything will certainly improve

is 92kg your current weight or have you got some Xmas extra?

The last year my weight has been around 90kg so right now its a little christmas extra. It was 105kg when I started running in 2006 and I'm still struggling to lose the last 10kg.

On reading your data, it is highly motivating for me to get started again, thanks for this inspiration

Your welcome!

Where do you plan on doing your time-trial, on a treadmill, I suspect Gothenburg must have icy roads and the track may be slippery?

As the weather looks right now I´ll do it on a track.

Let's see how the trial goes and we can configure the sessions accordingly

Thanks
