Hi Ed,
Im looking to improve my 10k time and get as near to 40 or below as possible but i want to continue playing my football as well.Im feeling the benefit in my football from my running anyway.
Im currently on day 8 of the Training program towards a sub 40 min 10k but some nights i cant fit in the schedule for my football. e.g. Day 5 longest run "time on feet" 1 hr 30 mins, came on the Thurs night when i was scheduled to play football for 1 hour at 7.30pm, so i ran to my football (5 miles, 35mins) then played for an hour.Felt brilliant.
Having read through the schedule, the problem i have is that i can't run on a Wednesday and the day after seems to be the "hardest day" which doesn't suit as it falls on the football night.
Am i doing the wrong thing by taking on this training program and if so, what should i be doing instead to get a shot at a 40min 10k?
Thanks for your support and advice, its much appreciated and this website is brilliant!!
