Amorts, nice going
realistic 5k time in line with a 35min 10k is around 17mins
don't get the bit between your teeth too much and go too galloping crazy
These 10k schedules have been designed and used in a true squad training environment over a period of years, other than slight alterations according to ability we have had runners on similar schedules who have achieved sub 29min 10k's
The squad consisted of around 30 athletes of all ranging abilities
the 3 week cycle allows for a paced run on the 2nd Saturday and a race every 3 weeks
doing a 5k time-trial every week is not part of this 10k schedule, during all the years none of the athletes did this on a Saturday and we did have over a 90% success rate, these programs work.
Whereas the 5k time-trials can be fun and enjoyable try fit them into your schedule instead of changing the schedule to accommodate the 5k.
Let me know your thoughts?
