10K Training Plans

[glenn10]

So, another comparison now that I've done the second cycle of 6 x 1K:

FIRST CYCLE - 4:00 - 4:10
Repetition - Time - Average Heart Rate
1 - 3:56 - 188 BPM
Rest - 131 BPM
2 - 4:08 - 195 BPM
Rest - 144 BPM
3 - 4:04 - 197 BPM
Rest - 147 BPM
4 - 4:11 - 197 BPM
Rest - 151 BPM
5 - 4:23 - 196 BPM
Rest - 152 BPM
6 - 4:20 - 199 BPM
Total: 25:06

SECOND CYCLE - 3:50 - 4:00
Repetition - Time - Average Heart Rate
1 - 3:50 - 194 BPM
Rest - 150 BPM
2 - 3:49 - 199 BPM
Rest - 115 BPM
3 - 3:55 - 199 BPM
Rest - 148 BPM
4 - 3:56 - 201 BPM
Rest - 152 BPM
5 - 3:56 - 199 BPM
Rest - 153 BPM
6 - 3:59 - 200 BPM
Total: 23:25

I was amazed how easy I found the session - 1:41 quicker over 6K just three weeks apart! On top of that, even having run 23KM on Sunday, I genuinely think I could've run all of them faster... Although heart rate I guess says differently! To put into perspective how easy it felt, I timed my watches stopwatch when I got home to check it wasn't broken :laugh:

Feeling very good!
