Hi TheEd
Many thanks. I've noticed the two 30 min easy runs I've done since the race, my pace has increased with no extra effort (5:31/km on Tuesday and 5:27/km yesterday, with average HR 140 and 144). Felt easy and completely under control - is that OK or should I be slowing it back down to 5:45/km - 6:00/km?
Re: the pace sessions, my average pace for the race was 4:52/km. My last 3x2km session was 4:48/km, and the last 5x1km was 4:38/km. So I'm thinking pace as below focussing on consistency:
3x2km - 4:45 - 4:50/km.
5x1km - 4:35 - 4:40/km.
Is that all sound OK?
Re: half and full marathons, I may go back to those later (I would love to do a half in under 1hr 30mins as my PB is 1hr 34, but a long time back!), however for now I want to focus on my 5k and 10k times/goals.
Cheers
