Coach - I was curious. How much fluid should i look to take on during this session and others thinking about it :-)
For example once hydrated properly, today i would sip 500ml at intervals over the 10k. Does that sound about right?
Cheers

you used the correct word there .. SIP
between reps you can sip water
never gulp water
after the session re-hydrating is most beneficial
one of the best things a runner can do is to try avoid spitting out the saliva while running
you have it right on regards to the hydration bit
also take along with you something to eat to the equivalent of half a loaf of bread and try to eat it within the first hour after completing the session
you have a window of opportunity after long runs and the high quality sessions where carbohydrate intake straight after is beneficial
don't want to go into too much detail here but it is worth considering especially as you develop as an athlete

Thanks for the above advice.
Today's effort was a let down for me in some ways but good in others.
I couldn't hold the 4.05 pace all the way to the end and bailed out at about 5.5k... But i remembered back to the note on the plan which said u must complete all 5 sets so instead of finishing i slowed the pace down and completed all 5
On the last 2 sets i started out at normal pace, slowed when it got tough and then increased speed at an easier pace towards normal pace...
Totals inc R90 52.10secs Avg hr 160 Max hr 179
Set 1 8.10secs Avg hr 154
R90 1 92secs Avg hr 136
Set 2 8.09secs Avg hr 162
R90 2 91secs Avg hr 146
Set 3 9.11secs Avg hr 165
R90 3 92secs Avg hr 136
Set 4 9.12secs Avg hr 168
R90 4 92secs Avg hr 155
Set 5 9.46secs Avg hr 164
R90 5 92secs Avg 151
I'm quite happy that i made it to the end :whistle:

70 mins easy think i managed 13.2k from memory.
Avg hr was 140 max hr was 158. I kept this slow and easy as i feel i'm building back up again and want to avoid any nasties.
30 mins easy today was 6k.
Avg hr was 142 max hr was 150.
I'm looking forward to the 6x1k sets on tues. 3.55 per k still ok? :whistle:
sub 40 10 k. Please advise - TheEd - 26-01-2009
3.55 per k certainly looks on
enjoy the session no matter what ... looking forward to evaluating the session
5 minutes per k at ave hr 140 shows development as well
keep the 'nasties' away (as u put it) and you should be on your way quite soon
