It felt very good today! I had it all under control all the way and pushed it a bit on the last k. The pulse was under the threshold except for the last 200m. Now I´m really looking forward to next weekends race! Smile

Thank you!

Yesterday I ran the 10k race in Mariestad.

It felt very good from the begining and I found a pace around 4:18 during the first 5k. 21:26 on the first 5k.

Then I started to push a little more but the pace didn´t change. It was very windy and the kConfused 7 and 8 were head on the wind but I felt strong.

On 9:th I pushed more and got a 4:11 and the last was a nice 3:48.:whistle:

The last 5k: 20:48.

So........

TOTAL: 42:14(4:13) AHR 161 MHR 173

A new PB with over 2 min!!!!!
:yes:

I´m really happy and feel I´ve taken a big step towards the sub40. :laugh:

Thanks for all your patiance and help!! :notworthy:

Have taken it really easy this week with 2 easy runs to get my legs in shape for tomorrows Göteborgsvarvet.

Have felt a little something in my left calf this week.

Any last minute tips, Ed?

Well, the haflmarathon one week after a 10k PB-race and with no long runs was no picninc:

5k 22:38
10k 46:06
15k 1:11:05
21,1k 1:43:43

AHR:156 MHR:165 Over 6 mins slower then my PB.

Well, at least one more experience.

What do you think about the coming weeks? Off-training/buildup or more cykles?

This week I will bee in Germany thursday til monday watching 24h racing at Nurburgring! :yes:

Three weeks later it will be vacation with the kids in Portugal.

I have an 5k race 6/6 and a 10k 27/6 that looks interesting if I continue the cykles.

Hi Big Swede

the longer distances will always be tougher for our size persons, when younger I could cope up to 15km but found the 21km a great deal more difficult

the good thing is to have got a 10k PB so there is definitely something positive to take from that and the experience of 2 races (as you put it) on 2 weekends may be a bit too much

Take a look at the off period and then the build-up

because maybe you can take the days that you travelling off and then start on the build up program, which for you is adaptation to 1hr runs

no need to look further than that

will you have an internet connection?

Cheers
