Training explanations and must do's :
T stands for 10K pace development
L stands for 5K pace development R
= Rest
F is for Fartlek
The 10K training sessions involving the 2000's are most important, you
must complete the session. You must do all 5 even if you begin to drop
off pace you must complete all 5. This is the session that will best equip
you for the rigours of the 10K.
The 5K paced run, you should not run faster than 19:10 on these days.
If you want to run a hard 5K then you must do so on the race day. Adhere
to this advice for success with the program.
