To put things in perspective, when relating to MrsDuck and her running .. In May, she ran a PB of 39:31 for 10k. First time under 40 minutes.
She has then increased the longest distance she has run in trail events
On Saturday, she will be racing a 10k .. I shall be happy with a sub 42 minute 10k
2 weeks after that we will look towards another 10k race (not accurate course, as it will be long)
after that we shall focus on bringing her 5k time as close to 18:30 as possible, fastest in 2014 is 19:20 odd
what I am trying to show, is to vary the goals, so that it is not all intense and measured only in one area, it allows for progress and keeps the mind fresh and the intensity at a level that is enjoyable
I am mentioning this, so that you vary your goals and set achievable short-goals while making progress long-term
thus maintaining the positive energy along the way
hope this helps
enjoy
