16:26 in parkrun today
PB!3:16
3:18
3:17
3:20
3:15
Weight: 77.6 (on the start line)
Weather: Windy (10mph), Muddy (I wore XC spikes)
Really enjoyed the race today despite less than ideal conditions. Started out conservatively (first 2k felt almost effortless) & turned the screw from half way (into the headwind unfortunately). Was able to stay focussed and even push on for the last 200m which is new!
Onwards to the 10k...?!!

Nice going Jamie, yes, on to the 10k now
considering the conditions you know there is definitely more to come
TheEd
ps.. if ever you want to work out your 5k time from your 6 x 1k session, you add 25 seconds to the best 1k's from the session and that will give you a time of what you should be able to run, even in a worst case scenario, after doing the session ([I][SIZE="1"]please, ask for clarity of this, if not understanding what is being stated[/SIZE])[/I]

That makes sense re: 1k calculations (though I was a way off 16:09!). Would be great to race a 5k on the track sometime and see what I could do. May look to enter a 5,000 race next year...
Does the program I outlined above make sense to you for the run up to 10k from now? I'm actually off work for the whole period so will be taking advantage of this for sleeping/recovery etc (and of course some fun!).
Sub 35 - TheEd - 17-12-2012

3:15 (HR 171)

Weight: 78kg
Weather: Light wind, 8 deg.
Good sesh this morning. Wore my HR monitor if thats of any interest?! During the rest intervals HR was getting down to 85 between the 2k's, then 90, 103, 107 between the 1k's. Resting HR this morning was 37.
The 2k's felt great, very smooth/easy. 1k's were tougher but I wasn't at the limit by any means.

Happy new year & all that
34:51 in boxing day 10k.
Obviously disappointed with the time as a felt good on the start-line & was pretty well prepared (despite some over-eating the day before!).
I went through 5k in 16:52 feeling strong, but then the wind really picked up (25mph+ gusts). My Garmin also clocked the course at about 10.15k (went through 10k at 34:24). Not that that stopped the winners from running sub 31min!
Anyway. Have taken it all very easy since then. Planning to start up with the 2k's again tomorrow (pending a little soleus pain that crept in earlier this week... I think from 'dancing' in heeled shoes
)Considering a fast 10k on 3rd Feb (after 2 more cycles) and a fast Bushy Park 5k somewhere in the middle.

rather sort all the aches and pains out before running .. some swimming would no doubt be better if you are able to swim
let me know your thoughts
Thanks

You're right. No point risking anything at this point in the season.
Swimming and biking are totally pain free so will focus on these for the next few days. Will aim to start 2k's next Thursday if back on track.
Cheers,
