Hi TheEd,
Although my passion is off road running, I want to see how close I can get to 45min for a 10k road race. We started this journey in November of last year and I have only ran trail races and therefore could not test myself. As a result I do not know if I have improved, or if my my performance are dropping. I have been doing quite a bit more interval training work that I'm used to, and therefore my performance should have improved..., but sometimes I'm not sure. Garmin data says my Vo2max dropped from 50 in December to 47 now, but LT threshold is higher....garmin confuses me sometimes
So yes, I want to commit to a 10k road race. There is one in our district on the 27 of June which I want to aim for. After that I would like to prepare for a 2 day trail race (day1 – 15km, day2 -16km) in September.
After next week Saturdays trail race it leaves 10 weeks to prepare for the 27th of June. Shall we see what is possible?

As a after thought, 10 weeks is maybe not a enough time, but I'm willing to give it a good bash...
