Hello everyone
Iôve been following this forum for some time now, and finally decided to try the 10km training program, share it here, and hopefully get some tips along the way.
Quick background: Iââ¬â¢m 38yr male, 177cm, 67kg, started running about 3 years ago, being a recreational cyclist for the last 12 years. Normally I donââ¬â¢t run more than 3 times a week, and almost every weekend I have one day reserved for the bike.
My goal is to be able to do a 10km run in less than 40:00. I was supposed to start the program in the beginning of last December, but a sprained ankle said otherwiseââ¬Â¦
The mandatory 4km test run, on an improvised street circuit, went like this:
3:53
3:56
3:54
3:54 (last km hard effort)
(total: 15:46)
For reference, this were my best times in 2017, taken from strava:
1km 3:25
5km 19:37
10km 42:06
Half-marathon 1:38:29 (my first hm)
Looking forward to post my progress here, and get some feedback from TheEd
Cheers,
Silva
