What next?About to finish Daniels 5/10k plan

Any sensible advice is appreciated.

I think that would depend of your long term goals after this summer. Great time by the way (especially after a year of running, that is impressive).

Nice times for only a year of running.

I am thinking about starting the Daniel 5/10k plan since my times at those distances are weak compared to my marathon and 1/2 marathon times. How was your experience with the plan? Any advice?

Thanks, I'm seem to have been lucky with making good initial gains. I found the 5/10k plan pretty challenging, I would sometimes take an extra day or two of recovery if I needed it. It builds in a steady fashion and some of the workouts can be intimidating the first time. The back to back worouts are tough but there's not many of them. Basically make sure you avoid over training, I always seemed to be on the edge of that. The plan lacks any true speed work so that's what I think I need to work on now. If you can integrate some strength and hill work into the plan I think that would make it more complete.

Thanks and I hope I can continue to improve at a steady rate. I have a spartan 5k sprint race coming up beginning of June and then a 1/2 marathon end of June. Basically Im willing to race anything up to 1/2 marathon including trail races. I want to get my all around speed up in those various distances, no big goal race, just want to improve as much as possible in mid to long distances.
