Next Saturday I'm having a 10k race and since I've never run this distance in a race, I need some advice how to proceed with the sharpening and training volume in the last days.
This Wednesday (10 days out before race) I run 5x2000 w/ 90 sec. walking recovery in 6:48, 6:43, 6:40, 6:46, 6:32. That was a hell of hard workout and my legs are still dead three days after.
For now the final week's schedule looks as follow:
Today (Sa) – 12.5 miles long run w/ negative splits
Tomorrow (Su) – easy 5 miles
Mo – easy 6-7 miles
Tu – 6x1000 w/ 60'' standing rest in 3:12-3:15 each
We – easy 5 miles
Th – easy 8 miles
Fr – rest day
Sa – race (goal is sub-34:30)
Does this sound like a good plan?
