Hello Ed,

Shape is coming, the shape is coming!
Had a blast on the 6 x 1000m today, it's a really fun interval session, my favorite i guess.
All intervals went well, the 5th was the slowest where i probably could have run faster but i stayed in controll and saved some power for the last one.

Kyuss .. a very nice session .. keep things together now .. Day 3 to Day 8 has shown great promise and improvement

a warning in advance .. be careful with the 5k paced run that it doesn't become too quick

you must be excited by this session

on we go TheEd

Thanks,

My biggest consern is to run to fast on the 5k paced now, i hope that i can hold back and not run faster than 3:52 m/km - 3:55 m/km.
Looking forward.

Best regards
Kyuss

Hi Kyuss, start off slowly and then build-up the pace .. finish strong without blowing up and all should be good

Hi TheEd,

Got some more training data for you

58M:37S, 10,82 km, 5:25 m/km, 140 BPM

5K Paced:
19M:28S / 5 km / 3:54 m/km / 178 bpm.
Splits:
1, 3:55 / 164 bpm / Max 176 bpm
2, 3:55 / 176 bpm / Max 181 bpm

4, 3:55 / 183 bpm / Max 186 bpm
5, 3:49 / 188 bpm / Max 192 bpm

I ran pretty much how i planned to run, around 19:30 but not slower.
It felt decent i guess but i was prepared for it to feel a little easier than it was, i started the run later than planned and it was a little over 4 hours since my last meal.

Followed by a:
16M:52S, 2,79km WarmDown

looks to be a decent bit of training Kyuss

what have you planned for this coming weekend

TheEd

Last week i ended up with 51,6 km of running (4H:33M) and about 60km cycling (2H:13M).

Since my real race is not before 5th June, i'm thinking it could be better to not go 'all out' on anything on saturday, but it would also be fun with a hard 5k..
I have been playing with the tought of doing just a long tempo run around 15km too.

Your experience are greatly appreciated, so if you can give me advice for the upcoming weekend i would be glad.

Have a nice day.
Best regards
Kyuss

Hi Kyuss, the 5k plan should fit right in

treat it as a race and prepare accordingly, so you get used to roll of the program cycle

on we go TheEd

Hi Ed,

5k it will be then.
What average pace should i aim for on this 5k based on what you have seen of my training?
