Improving 5k and 10k pace - adamoliver - 03-05-2015
Thought I'd do a 4k time trial to see how my times compared with 2 months ago. I'm quite happy with the result. I've taken 2mins 3seconds off my time

quite something adam, how is the training progressing
from the time-trial feedback, it shows that with a little more stamina you should maintain a pace close to what you start off with (your first 2km)
on we go

Hi Ed,
I am currently working on the sub 50 minute 10k program with a few modifications to allow for more days rest. I'm aiming for about 5 days of running per week rather than 6 days. Days that I'm resting are going to be days which would normally be easy 30 min runs so that I don't miss out on more of the harder sessions.
On day 5 I managed my longest run so far which was 17.74k (11 miles) in 1hr 45mins. A pretty comfortable pace but my legs were finished after it! I also completed days 6,7 and 8 but after the 8th day my legs needed a rest so took day 9 off. On day 12 I set a new PR for 5k - 23:56
What do you think of my plan for days off? Make sense?

this should be fine
the core of the program is between Day 3 to Day 8 and during those days, the 2k, Long Run and 1k session are most important
let me know how everything progresses
