These things happen, you going through the stage of discovery

the discovery of trying to find out how quickly you can actually run

you will learn with experience

as long as you feel good about your progress you can then control and slow yourself down to perform at a later stage during a race

enjoy the feeling

well consider 80 secs per 400 = 3.20 per k and then you can come to your own conclusions about the session level

this is meant to be the equivalent to a 3k speed session

and as you know, coming along nicely

Went out for an easy run with the Mrs> nothing outrageous as she is getting back into running atm.
Ed can u please clarify tomorrows session
30min easy
then 6 mins at race pace ? then 1min slow:confused:


sub 40 10 k. Please advise - TheEd - 19-02-2009

1 minute paced at speed you want to race on Saturday

so if it is a 10k race then you run 1 minute at 10k pace with 1 minute easy in-between and then 1 minute fast at 10k pace

you do 6 x 1 minute fast

this is a Fartlek session and is a final prep before race day

It may just be cos i've woken up here but...
I run an easy 30 then bolt this session on afterwards alternating fast and slow for a total training time of 42 mins. Have i got the right idea here?


sub 40 10 k. Please advise - TheEd - 19-02-2009

warm up 10 minutes light running

then Fartlek session of 6 x 1 minute fast with 1 minute slow

then cool down

a very easy session which should leave you wanting to race

:yes:
