That's where the secret is, the XCountry skiing, I don't think your body frame takes too kindly to long slow running and this showed last year when you picked up the problem
that is quite great getting to 43 minutes for 10km
you will certainly cope with the 2000 and 1000m sessions as long as your bio-mechanics are flowing, if you run too slow for too far you put too much stress on the lower limbs
even if your 10km is just under 4.30 per k and the normal rule of thumb is a minute for easy runs, I think you would be safer hovering around 5 minutes for easy runs and only doing a max of 1hr on your feet
so yes, towards the sub 40 minute 10km but definitely change the easy and longer runs format
my suggestions, what say you?
