Hi derele .. the programs are progressive and it makes no sense at all to provide online programs with everything in the programs which creates a higher risk of injury etc
so the intention is to keep everything simple and then to build on the program as the runner develops
to start with the programs focus on the 2k - 1k and long run then with results from minimal to begin adding various aspects to the program this is only done once the runner goes through a few cycles and then goes towards the build up program and then onto the cycles again and then through the process again
if you do 5 x 2000m @ 3.30 per k ... 6 x 1k @ 3.20 per k and your long run
and you go through the cycles and line up healthy for a race
then you should race 10k around 35 minutes plus 25 to 45 seconds max slower
these programs have been tried and tested in a squad environment over the years and have got results accordingly
hope this helps to better understand the simplicity of the approach
