5k in Sub 25 minutes - Sal - 22-01-2014
Hi The Ed
Sort of following the half marathon programme, but I don't really need such long runs.
My first race is an Aquathon 30th March 2014 - 500m swim, followed by 5k run.
Kind regards
Sal

Hi The Ed
I'm after some advice please. I've been following the programmes for a while and had some great success. My husband has a marathon planned for much later in the year and I wonder if he is able to use them as well or if they are only suitable to race up to a half. The has completed 3 marathons already so has some experience. His times have been 4:20. 4:10 and 4:02. He would like to get under 4 hours.
Kind regards
Sal

Hi The Ed
Been a long while since I have posted.
Absolutely over the moon - yesterday I ran my first 10k in 2 years and so pleased I managed a 3min 41sec PB.
PB is now 51:12, so getting ever closer to sub 50 minute 10k.
So great to know that in 2 years having moved out of my 30's and into my 40's I can still get quicker
I've got my weight down to 51kg (I'm only 5' 3") and done loads of strength and core work, so now's the time to get back to the programmes over the summer.
Based on my 10k time above, what would you suggest as the target 2k and 1k reps target pace.
(I shocked myself when I looked back at the results on my garmin. My 1k split at 7k mark was 4mins 47secs - I never run a 1k speed rep that fast before, let alone in the middle of a race, so no idea where that came from!)
Speak soon

Well done Sal, won't be long before you are sub 50

great going Sal, it has been a while
consider trying to do the 2k and 1k sessions as prescribed in the
sub 50 minute 10k Program
please ask questions if you are unsure about anything
nice chatting
