Hi, just wanted to tell that all went well with the race last weekend. I managed to achieve another SUB 40 10 k, and very pleased with that, after all.
No PB this time, but the course was also slightly tougher due to a change and the weather very hot for Norwegian spring (19-20 C), so I recon the 40 seconds I lost from last year might be "excused" and that my shape is almost as good as last year.
I followed your advice and backed off a bit from the program, to get rid of the tight calves, and it fell into place again quite quick. So I did the 5 K and the 10x400s as planned, which I think was important to get that sub 40 time.
Now I`m not quite sure where to move on, but I might go for another 10 k May 21st and / or a 21 k off road race June 15th (as last year). Today I did 7x1k between 3.45 and 3.38, feeling quite controlled and I hope without producing any tightness in the calves.
Feel that I have learned some lessons and ready for a more steady progression and hopefully without injuries this season
I`ll tell you if/when I decide to jump on to the program again. For now, I`ll just do it a bit less strictly scheduled.
