Hi sub35min
the most important sessions to start with are the 5x2k - 6x1k sessions to start with .. first we lay the foundation of adaptation to those sessions and the as you progress it is the adaptation to the longer runs and as the body adapts to that we begin introducing the paced runs of up to 15k
All this takes time and with it improvement comes along and a steady pace
There are no real secrets to training and results, simply consistency and avoiding injury, the programs are developed to be progressive according to each individuals ability and if you delve deeper into the 10k programs you will see there are a whole bunch of cycles to take you up and bring you down, rest periods, rebuilding periods and as you progress race periods.
With the whole process there is scope to improve all the way past training on a sub32min 10k program and with slight alteration you are able to even race 21k successfully off these schedules.
I hope this was not too much data overload however it certainly is exciting times ahead
Where in PE are you, are you close to a 400m track there?
Cheers
