Hi madmick and welcome to the forums
great to see you have enjoyed training and testing yourself over 10km ..
first off you mentioned - Hit all of the targets except the 2k challenge early in the program
that unfortunately is the 'crux' of the program and that is the session that builds mental mental strength to achieve your 10k goals .. you hit the target in the 2k session and the 10k race becomes easier
the 2k session when done on one's own is more difficult that racing the 10k in a race
for the future it is good to find a training partner to share the 2k load
you welcome to post your times and relevant feedback and I shall assist where possible
also note that when striving towards a goal their is the mental and positive energy associated with a new challenge, this does wear off and with time you will learn there is a lot more to the 10k programs which takes all these aspects into consideration
good luck and enjoy the running
