Alex, the 2k session is a toughie, and always best to start of easier. Your fitst 2k was sub 35 minute 10k pace, so that would have you under pressure straight away.
The intention is to build confidence with the program, not the reverse, and how we build confidence is to achieve what we can, and to slowly build up the pace and the distance. All the while feeling good about what we doing .
Have you had your legs checked for 'leg discrepancy' ? This is something which can happen very easily, and is common in runners, especially if muscles are tight etc.
lets get you pain free, and then look at running 'slower' to start with. If you do LESS for now, I can assure you that at the end of the 3 week cycle you will be running quicker than your training speed.
This is a natural occurrence for runners who have natural ability
we must nurture the talent
so lets get you pain free and you cut back and do the easiest of sessions to build up your confidence, then we set achievable short term goals and get the enjoyment back into the running
on we go
