Don't be despondent Rob
you have progressed since starting and you will pick up quite nicely when you start again
it will all work out
rather now than later
Enjoy the break

well if you like you can do a 4k time-trial on Saturday
not race
paced simply at 155 to 160 bpm
provide feedback and then you start on new schedule next week
and hopefully get back in to things without a problem
Cheers

1k 4:05 avg hr 141 max hr 157

OK .. the drop off of pace in 4th kilometer shows where you are at now however that is more due to recovering from your ailment than a true reflection of your fitness
however to be cautious we go back to what you did right at the beginning
start on the sub 40 minute 10k schedule however when starting with the 2000's next Thursday start with a pace of
4.05 to 4.10 per k for the 2000's which works out to 8.10 to 8.20
then for the 1000's it will be 10 seconds quicker, so 3.55 to 4 mins per 1000
Start Day 1 of the program next Tuesday and you should get onto the sub 40 minute schedule within 1 to 2 months of training
this is important and you will benefit from it without breaking down, it will give you time to recover properly while still building up again
be patient, if you follow instructions you will bounce back stronger within 10 days
Enjoy

Great stuff. I'm keen to progress again but not at a rate where i get an injury/ill again. So point taken i'll start back at the beginning.
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
Cheers again TheEd

Day 01 60mins 11.2k avg hr 139 avg hr 158.
I increased/varied my pace a little towards the end as running a bit slower than my normal pace i was feelin a niggly pain in my right hip.
I just think it's where my body is getting use to things again.
Raising my pace towards the end seemed to ease the pain in my hip...
A good nights rest/sleep and see how things are in the morning.
Cheers
