Running - Trail 30:00 [3] 5.3 km (5:40 / km)
So this begins the attempt for the sub 40 10k in May. I'm still bouncing between whether I want to try for sub 20/5k or 40/10k, but I'll see how the training goes.
I've ripped off a sub 20 5 k plan and gonna follow that for 10 weeks and see how I'm feeling after. It only requires 3 runs a week, so if I keep up with 9 am smts that ticks off one. The other 2 are an interval and tempo workout and usually in the 30-40 min vicinity so shouldn't be too hard to add.
Today was a easy warm up/cool down and then 2 miles with 7x60sec accelerations. I was usually hitting around 4 min/ks for each one and the idea of having to maintain that pace for 20 mins, let alone 40 is pretty daunting at this stage. I've got 5 months, so it better become easier.
