10k beginner - looking to improve.

[bmclough]

Hi TheEd,

I will post the data from the last few days tomorrow as I have left all my logs at home. I have a couple of questions for you around the plans etc.

Firstly just as a reminder I have a 6k race on Saturday on a beach and secondly just so we are focussed the 10k approaches on the 6th December.

1. The 6k race fits in nicely to the schedule as this is a race week so will I treat it as so and keep it easy as the week allows. Ideally a longer race would be better for endurance I would think but unfortunately that is the only one out there.

2. Will I have enough endurance training come race day to run 10k as other runners I know are running longer distances to prepare. This is the voice of inexperience talking here.

3. After this 6k race there is 4 weeks to the 10k so we will need to put an extra week into the program for that cycle. I could do week 1 or 2 twice? What you think?

4. For this 10k I would like to decide on a pace as I am not sure if I will make it to sub-45 this time around (lets see how the month goes though).

Anyway take care and I will post some data tomorrow.
