Warmup to Logan High track to do 5x 1000m repeats with 200m recovery at approx goal 10K pace (35 min). I was shooting for 3:30 for the repeats. I went:

3:29

3:30

3:27

3:26

They felt pretty decent. I was sure glad when the last one was over. I am kind of unsure of what workouts I need to do to build 5K and 10K speed. I figure that some threshold workouts can't hurt. Any ideas on what I can do to race well at the 10K and 5K level this summer?

Total Time: 50:51

Ave Hr: 156 Max HR: 184 (last repeat)

Try 4-5x200m @ 98% all-out with full recovery after your tempo runs and interval workouts. Or 3x300m. That will boost your speed. Then just stick with your tempos, fartleks, and intervals you've been doing.

Cody, try CV reps that Paul, and now I, have been using - I thought you ran some CV workouts with Paul too, didn't you? It seems to be a really good way to build threshold and VO2 max at the same time without killing yourself. You can do the same workout you did today, 5x1000m, but at a slower pace (CV pace is roughly your pace over 42-45 min. race) and recovery jog of 1 min between reps. If you do this once a week, it should help with 5-10K races.

Thanks for the tips. Very good ideas. Yes, Maria, I did some CV's a few months ago and I think they are very beneficial. I will schedule more.

Paul, the 200's and 300's sound like a good idea. I will try them soon.

Pretty good workout. I should join you one of these days for some intervals.
