Hello TheEd,
I am 45 years old and started running three months ago. My primary goal was loosing weight. I have been running 3 to 4 times a week and lost around 11 kg (92 down to 81 kg). Two weeks ago I stumbled upon "time-to-run" and I was kind of stuck here. So I decided to try "sub 50 minutes 10k" training, but started with day 05 "longest run" as I was planning to do my longest run anyway.
Day 05: 1h 18min - 13,2 km - 5:55 min/km
Avg Pace Avg HR Max HR
First km 5:42 142 154
Last km 5:54 161 163
Today I did day 12 (5K paced run – aim sub 25min 5k):
5k time 23min 25sec - avg pace 4:43 min/km
Avg Pace Avg HR Max HR
1 km 4:41 149 157
2 km 4:48 158 160
3 km 4:43 160 162
4 km 4:44 161 164
5 km 4:38 164 168
I felt I overdid it a little.
My plan is to go through sub 50 min plan two to three times and then decide how to proceed.
So my final goal is to achieve sub 45 min 10k by May 2021.
