Thanks for all your advice. I followed your plan, although I did mix it up a little with a 5k time trial 3 weeks before the race in which I ran 18:55.
The race was last weekend and I ran 40:20, which I am pleased with but I mentally I feel I can go faster again with the right training.
I enjoy running the 5k time trial and this is on each Saturday morning. I am also going to join a athletics club who run a steady 5-7 miles on a Monday and then interval training on the track on Tuesday.
I want to bring my 5k time down as close to 15 mins as I can possibly get it and the 10k time down towards 35 mins.
Taking into account the above commitments how would you suggest I structure my other training days?
Thanks again
