Hi TheEd,
I have a 10k planned for the 20th May, so im going to go on to the 40 min programme on the 2nd and im going to stick to it without fail, which i done in the past and have 100% belief in it as my time rapidly tumbled from 44 mins to a p.b. of 41.11.
One thing i want to know before i get into it, on the 5k paced run, it says aim sub 20- which for me is a 100% pressed run, should i adapt it to a high tempo run at 90% effort to avoid "over exertion" maybe sub 20.30?
I'll take what you say on board as always, but maybe by that time a sub 20 wont be as much effort as it currently is.
Meanwhile, i'll be doing my 1 and 2k sessions alternatively with light runs during the week. At the weekends i'll be doing alternate long runs,tempo and fartlek work, might throw in a bit of hillwork too, but i'll taper it right down to get a fresh start on the 1st day of the programme.
I'll keep you posted as to my "progress"
Cheers
