10K Training Program Question

[TheEd]

Hi D .. you must accept that you lose form and 'speed'

if you keep looking for it you will push yourself into a deep trough

you must give yourself recovery after a day's surfing

don't look for form when you out running, accept that there is none there and then develop your routine to achieve a little form

the 4k time-trial is purely aimed at giving you a starting point

so you can build on that from there

Cheers

ps.. give yourself credit for reading into how you feel and monitoring your fatigue, you will be able to build on it but you must not create negative energy by thinking you are not in shape, simply accept you are not and work 'slowly' to get into a steady routine - consistency is the key
