Hello TheEd:
Thank you for your interest: my calves are getting better with time. No bad sensations from the latest 400m sessions. I am careful to stretch well and also had massage a month ago.
Today was finally race day after training of the last 5 months. My plan was to stick to 4'10 from start till finish, but was not able to. I should have run faster on the downhill parts at the start to compensate for the harder last 2-3km. Anyway happy with a new PB of 42'04, averaging 4'17 :
Splits were:
4'07 bpm 108
4'11 bpm 145
4'03 bpm 168
4'15 bpm 152
4'20 bpm 162
4'11 bpm 176
4'12 bpm 178
4'36 bpm 178
4'26 bpm 178
4'16 bpm 177
Thank you so much for making this posible with this great program TheEd :notworthy: Feeling happy but at the same time unsatisfied as I want to get better
Not sure what to do now: I hit the target times for 2k, 1k and 400m in the last 2 cycles but was unable to hit the corresponding 10k time. Does it make sense I need more easy runs? There is another 10k in two weeks I would like to participate in. Would 2 weeks of the buildup and doing the 10k as new test make sense?
Kind regards
