Post injury - wanting sub 40min

[TheEd]

...

what must be realised is that you are all new to the cycles and whereas 140 may seem slow for some there is a major reason to the session for long-term development

and with the development, the athlete doesn't even concern themselves with the 140bpm during the session as their overall pace per km has improved, even though this would have been considered quite slow previously.

the rule of thumb focused on easy runs at 1 minute per k slower than current 10k pace .. for the 90 minutes and longer we added to 20 to 30 seconds per k for good measure

there is a lot more to the programs and the process behind them however being online and not '1 on 1' makes it more difficult to put certain aspects across.

Give yourself time and you shall answer many of your own questions via the programs

Cheers

ps.. this would have been TheEd 26 years ago where the slowest runner in the group was sub 32 minutes
