Sub40 10k training (General inquiry)

[MitchelC]

Hi! I checked my most recent easy runs (1hr and 30min runs). Average bpm is at 158, 167, and 171. Easy runs 2-3 weeks ago were in that range as well (155-170). Im 23, so max heart rate would be 198. All of these runs were done at or below 5:29min/km (easy pace) In light of this, kindly let me know how I should do the sessions in the off period.

Right now, im in the 3-day break. I look forward to the off-period right after; hoping after this my body will be able to adapt. Thank you for all the advice, appreciate it!
