Hi Mic .. if you attempt to run too fast too soon you will cause a reverse training effect which leads to injuries etc
the 10k program is 'progressive' and will develop you in a way to achieve your goals accordingly
once you do a session such as 5 x 2k in 3.55 to 4 minutes per k (7.50 to 8 minutes) with Rest 90 seconds, you will be ready to run sub 40 minutes for 10km
so hang in there, be patient and you will note that things become easier and everything speeds up naturally according to the fitness developing
the programs work, it is then down to the individual to balance life and training in the correct manner
with the advice here, we aim to achieve these requirements for you as well as getting the results while 'attempting' to avoid the pitfalls of sickness and injuries
onwards and forwards

ps.. keep your easy runs closer to the 140 bpm, despite it feeling slow .. you will speed up naturally as you progress .. easy & relaxed is in an attempt to avoid problems between the quality sessions .. they mean more or less the same thing
