Hi kilroy the explanation of the 400's before a main race didn't come out properly, it was more to do with the playing of basketball on the same day as the 400's (will go back to that post and check things out further and edit where necessary, thanks for that heads up)
changed to (edit - you shouldn't be playing basketball and doing 400's on the same day)
in your case your development should be such that a 400m session should be comfortable, however for the future rather do this session on the track and if possible a grass track
everything depends on the athlete's development and if you look in that other post the runner is quite inexperienced and is doing things which does not enhance their running chances.
try get your legs to recover if they took a little road pounding
you in fine fettle so remain positive your legs will be fine for race day
let's go through the final days before the race next Tuesday .. reverse the sessions from Tuesday so your 1 minute fast with 1 minute slow would be on Sunday
what would the rest of your days look like?
TheEd
ps.. you in shape for a fine 10k, the rest is up to you, don't put unexpected pressure on yourself and look to the 5k from Saturday because if the truth be known 19:30 through the first 5k in the 10k should be fine
