Getting Back Into It - 10K Training - TheEd - 02-05-2018
Hi Boony,
a 26:15 5k sounds good

Sounds good to me, I think 5.15 per KM should be achievable for me over 5K.
30 mins easy completed today
4.73KM - 6.19 per/KM - 143bpm AV.
Cheers

Morning.
5K Paced Run completed
Again, followed the grass track and ran 12.5 laps - although my Garmin measured this as 5.34KM
[URL="https://www.strava.com/activities/1550160010/overview"]Track Distance - Garmin Distance - Time - Pace - HR
5.00KM - 5.34KM - 26.06 - 4.53/KM - 168[/URL]
Av Pace
1KM - 4.43
2KM - 4.56
3KM - 4.57
4KM - 4.59
5KM - 5.00 - Still had around 250m-300m of track to run at this point
0.34KM - 4.19
I pressed my lap button after each 400M - you can view the splits here
I know we said run it in 5.15/KM - I did run a pace that felt comfortable and easy - I went quicker at the end - but I could of maintained around the 5.00/km pace if I had carried on.
Cheers

Day 13 - 10KM easy
So looking at my Strava Relative Effort score, I think I went too quickly on this run, which was supposed to be an easy one, especially after the 5K on Saturday.
The pace did feel easy, but legs really ached yesterday and this morning. Oh well, live and learn.
10.17KM - 5.59 per/KM - 153 av bpm

Day 14 - didn't do 30min easy (see above)
Day 15 - 30min very easy, a mixture of running and actual walking - legs do feel better for it though.
4.01KM - 7.26 per/km - 120 av bpm

Morning, post race update.
The 10K was a flat course, mixture of tarmac and cross country.
Race time was 51.03 - this wasn't a chipped time race.
[URL="https://www.strava.com/activities/1570907652/overview"]My 1K splits, from starting at the start line and hitting lap at every 1KM marker were.
Time - Av HR
4.56 - 155
4.59 - 164
5.02 - 169
5.01 - 172
5.04 - 174
5.05 - 177
5.12 - 178
5.12 - 180
5.16 - 181
4.56 - 182
Overall start to finish time of 50:43[/URL]
The first 1Km used up a lot of energy, got stuck behind people and had to do a lot of weaving. Apart from that I maintained decent running form all the way through, 7,8 and 9 were a tough slog along a bit of cross country and was able to speed up again for the last KM.
Pleased with the performance considering its off the back of only 1 cycle through the plan. Nice to get a race under my belt and looking forward to the next one which is a quarter marathon in 3 weeks time.
TheEd, based on this race, shall I start the next cycle using 4.55 for the 2K session, and 4.45 for the 1K session?
Cheers
Boony

you should be happy getting back into the rhythm of things
for the 2k session, start off with 5 minutes to 5.05 and run the last one sub 5 minutes if feeling good
then when it comes to 1k session you can look at running 4.45 to 4.50
keep things easy and if you stay consistent, everything will return naturally
