I am doing a 10k run next Monday and am looking for some last minute training tips..
I haven't trained for it in the form of timing myself but I generally jog 3-4 times a week to keep fit anyway. I just completed a 10k on the treadmill in 45 minutes and am aiming for a similar time in the actual race. However, I feel that it is easier to keep up with the speed on the treadmill as one can set the pace and stick to it. Having never timed/measured myself road running, I wonder whether I can keep that pace up.
With regards to training, I aim to do 3 more 10k treadmill runs (tue, wed and thur) and then rest for 3 days before the race. Is this sensible? Can anyone else offer any advice that may help? I didn't really get out of breath during the 45 minutes so I feel that the main obstacle will be my legs giving up!
Many thanks
