Hi Ed, Long time no "see" 
I've been doing very little running due to work commitments but now its its time to get serious about getting a sub 40min 10k.
I've been doing the odd 5k run on a Saturday, clocking around 20-21mins, which i've been enjoying as my son has been doing it also.
Anyway, i can fit a session in during the week, (Tues) and run on a Saturday (5k). What distance should i be doing my sessions at?
The last ones i done were, 10x400@86 R60 one week, followed by 6x1K@4mins R90 which were done at 90% effort id say.
Theres no 10k races till next year so i have plenty of time and would like to peak in May, what should my target time for a 5k be,and how often when i run on a Saturday should i be pressing? i.e. Should i run hard every week or every 2nd week etc??
p.s. I've got faith u r goannae take me under 40mins next year!!!
