Hi TheEd,
Race went quite well. I did it in 40:36. It was not a typical course, with 1st km flat, than 2 and 3 downhill all the way, 4 and 5 uphill all the way and then the rest were flat. The splits were:
4:03
3:52
3:49
4:25
4:14
4:05
4:03
4:05
4:15
3:45
I tried to pick up pace after 7km mark to get a go at sub40 and did first 500m of 8th km in 1:55, but it turned out I could not keep up and I struggled for the next 2km and until the final kick to the finish line.
Starting the next round of the programme today
Cheers,
Aistis

Hi TheEd,
Training this week:
Tuesday: 72:36mins 14.6km @ 4:59min/km;
Wednesday: 30min 6km @ 5min/km
Today: 5x2000m 7:51/7:47/7:47/7:50/7:48. Max HR 190bpm. (Controlled session. It seems that heart rate does not go up so high during 2000s any more).
Thanks,
Aistis

Hi TheEd,
I have been following the program, did 3:45 1000s and 84sec 400s and set my PB for 5km - 18:35 on Saturday
What pace would you recommend for 2000s now?Thanks,
Aistis

Congrats A
consider attempting 3.55 to 4mins per k for the 2000's
7.50 to 8 mins
this could be a tough session
How's your knee?
Cheers

Hi TheEd,
I felt very tired today.. decided to do 4x2000s rather than 5 - did 3x7:50 and 1x8:10 (started this one slowly @4:10min/km and then build up to 4:05 because HR was 200 at the end of 3rd rep). I am moving between houses now, so a lot of work to do.. will hopefully start getting back into normal routine next week. Knee is perfectly fine, no problems for last 2 weeks at all.
Cheers,
Aistis
