Hi Everyone,
I have been running for a few months averaging around 20-30 miles per week. I entered a 10km event recently and ran 41.10 which I was quite happy with.
If i continue to increase my mileage to say 40-50 miles per week and add in some speedwork what is a realistic time for 5km and 10km than I can run with a solid 6 months of training? I also ran 19 45 for 5km after about 8 weeks of training.
I'm 27 y/o - 5 " 10 and around 155 pounds so fairly lean.
Thanks
Mileage does not determine the time you will run. Mileage determines how fast you will improve. If you have been improving on 25 mpw, you will continue to improve.
I had similar numbers about 3 months after starting running.
40-50 got me a mid 38 within the year.
60-70 got me mid 35 within the next year.
I was 41:05 off 20 miles per week.
This year off 45-50mpw I've run 38:4x.
And I'm old.

Pics or it didn't happen.
But actually, I bet you'll run 39s or 38s. 5k at low 18s/high 17s
Thanks everyone will give it a shot and see what happens

are you previously engaged in a lot of aerobic training before?
Played football for a few years socially, aside from that not a huge amount of aerobic exercise. I'm type 1 diabetic so have always been disciplined with diet and naturally lean
wow, another T1D on LRC, feels good to find a friend haha. T1D for 15.5 years. I kept 10-15 miles steady for maybe 5-6 years, was worried about blood sugar control past a 10k, but in the last year and half, I've evolved to 25-35 mpw fairly well. Solid blood sugar control still, actually my fat burning glycogen has improved a lot. I am about 30 lbs bigger, but still lean from a clean diet and years of strength work. I am aiming to hit 50 mpw for a 4-6 week block leading up to my first full marathon next fall. I got a 10k on Sunday morning, should go sub 41, but we'll see. All the best to ya.
37:30
3-4 mins seems like quite alot for 10km will give it a shot perhaps in 6-9 months time. Anything around 38 would be very pleasing
