Hi again,
I done my 3x 2Ks on Tuesday, times were a little to quick @ 8.00, 8.10 and 8.16, i feel that the problem i have is 1) judging my starting pace (1st k in 3.52
) 2)generally sticking to the slower pace when i know to achieve my 40 min 10k i'll need to go under 4mins per k anyway.
I've also been talking to other runners in a club and they're saying that the 2ks are probably a bit long for the distance im aiming at and advising more on 1k reps??
One guy gave me an example saying that even some Marathon runners train on a 1k x 15 reps rather than 2ks and they're obviously training for a much bigger distance.
Well anyway, im going to stick to your advice and continue to do the 2ks, ive read back and probably think that i should be doing 5x 2k @ 8.30 rather than 3x 2ks @ 8 mins?
I dont see the point in doing 3 reps at a pace thats well within my capabilities(8.30) as i can only put in 1 session a week so i want to work hard at it, thats why i do a Tues, so my rest day is the Wed, which i cant run anyway.
Speak soon, thanx.
