Sub 50 goal but i cant seem to achieve in my training when i do a 10 km training run

Hi the Ed,

My training has been going on well. {i think}

i have been focusing on the tips you have been given me. My latest training was the 3 x 2 km on Tuesday and with the 2 mins rest.

2 km - 9:07
2 km - 9:05
2 km - 9:02

i have a race this coming Sunday and my aim is to do a sub 49 hopefully i can achieve as the pb last yr was 49:30.

i am aiming for a 48 mins, i will be happy if i can do a 48 mins. so to accomplish this feat, do you recommend a 4:48/km evenly on each km or do you recommend a slow pace in the first 5km and then pick up speed ?
