coming off base phase/when to up the pace. - JonathanWardley - 16-10-2013
Hi Ed,
how's it going?? I've been pretty sore after racing Sunday but easy sorted rest and easy runs to help me recover. I will do the 1k reps on Thursday and see how we go looking for 3.30 per 1k with a bit of luck the rest is straight forward. I cant help but think that I am due a 4k time trial at some point would like to lower the 14.18 on the last attempt think I am looking for an edge on racing on the 27th by improving my 4k time to give me the confidence to run faster in the race what do you think regards jon.

Jon, rather consider doing aerobic running until the 'soreness' disappears, it is Wednesday today and if the legs are still not right, rather consider 1hr easy running
then maybe put the following session in on Saturday
2 x 2k @ 3.50 per k Rest 90 seconds
followed by
4 x 1k @ 3.40 per k Rest 60 seconds
if you feeling great coming into the last 1k, then you can consider a 3.30 last km
less is better for now, the body is able to run faster than the pace you do the session in, if you give it a chance to recover and don't take too much out

Hi Ed,
well thank you for the good advise on the speed work you gave me. It went really well nice and cool this morning so all good. The reps went like this..
2k in 7.37 bpm 172
2k in 7.39 bpm 173
1k reps 3.41 bpm 173
1k rep 3.40 bpm 174
1k rep 3.40 bpm 175
1k rep 3.32 bpm 177
I think I know where my weakness is now no speed in my legs so hopefully the 400s next week will perk me up a bit. I would guess that you would say shoot for 37.30 in the race next week around 3.45 per k so over to you and looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this regards jon.

nice session .. to be honest, we should drop the 400's and do the following session
3 x 5 minutes paced at projected 10k race pace for weekend with 2 to 3 minutes easy
this way we can avoid any calf muscle problems that can come from running too fast on the 400's
cheers

keep it around 3.45 to 3.50 per k to be on the safe side
