Improving 10k with regular training

Hi TheEd,

Quick feedback from past days.

Last Tuesday I had a great 1000m session. Felt very strong all the way.

Took a day off on day 9 and ran 1h easy (10k) on day 10. Last Friday I traveled to my hometown.

On Saturday was my 5k paced run at 4:24 (21:58). It was a morning session and it was really hard. On Sunday I hurt my right toe at the pool and missed two runs.

Back home, I ran again this Tuesday 3x5min @ 4:24 (felt harder than it was supposed to be because it was a morning session) and ran 40 min easy (6,7km) the last two days.

During this cycle, only the 2k and 1k sessions were done at night. All the others were done in the morning. Trying to get used to morning runs again.
Time-trial this Saturday and let’s see what we have for the day.

Cheers
