Hi TheEd,
6x1k done last night. It looks like I got a minor cold. Despite that, managed a good session, except rep #2 when I lost a bit of speed due to having trouble breathing. Then, I focused on my breathing again and finished properly.
6x1k @ 3'55''

Hi TheEd,
arrived last weekend and missed the 4k time-trial. Had a great time and was able to run 8 of 9 sessions programmed for this trip. Also came back without any extra kg.
cales:
Already started a new cycle yesterday and tomorrow hoping to complete the 5x2k at 4'05" all the way.
Cheers.

ps: missing the cold weather from the trip. First time I caught below zero (-6C) temperatures.
Hi TheEd,
after struggling a lot over my last 5x2k session 3 weeks ago I was able to complete my best session so far. This time I remembered to use the HR monitor

certainly time to race
nice development MMS
onwards
TheEd
Yep!
My first 10k race this year is on May 24th, the same I ran 41'31" last year.
So, when I finish this cycle next Saturday, I'll have 4 weeks until race day.
This weekend I ran 5K in 20'13" as my paced run and I felt this is where I stand now for a 10k pace. But there's time to improve it a little bit until next month.
Cheers.
MMS
you can do a cycle and we can juggle the last week if you want
would be great to have you under 20 minutes for 5k
that will give a great deal of confidence
TheEd
Ok. Got it.
Iôll start a new cycle next week and after it we decide how to manage the "extra" week before the race.
hopefully soon Iôll be able to run 5k sub20 while running at my 10k pace. :great:
Time-trial this weekend. Will keep you posted.

Hi TheEd,
just had my best 4K time-trial last Saturday in 15'05". I'm still learning how far I can push my limits, so will see below that I finished very strong, which also means that I could have started a little faster. What Iôm trying to say is this: if I had all that energy to run the last km in 3'40", it means that I wasn't fast enough during the first 3km. Anyway, very excited about it.
Apr 26th - 4k time-trial
