Was watching this, should be the college version?

First district: 21.3km - 1.01.07 >> 21.1km - 1.00.30 projected. That guy lead from the start to the end and even open a big gap. No one to pace with.

I went to check the Japan national record, he is 30s off.

Second district: 23.1km - 1.08.29 >> 21.1km - 1.02.12 projected. Also, ran on his own.

Third district: 21.4km - 1.01.54 >> 21.1km - 1.00.58 projected.

Fourth district: 20.9km - 1.02.03 >> 21.1km - 1.02.40 projected.

Fifth district: 20.8km - Lost the lead and finished 1:49 behind, despite having a lead of 45s. >> This guy 10km PB time is 30s slower than the eventual winner. >> The gap should be a lot smaller. My guess is that this runner struggled under pressure to anchor his team.

His 10 x 1km @ 3.00 - 3.01 min/k workout (60s jog recovery @ 200m) seems to be slightly faster than his race time of 3.03 min/k. But it still gives a good estimation.

Would be good for me to try this workout maybe with slightly more rest (slower jog for 200m) and see how I perform.

San Silvestre Vallecana 10k

Scary level, so many senior ang mohs sub 39 seed (internacional pen).

For workout intervals, my idea is that say for 10k 10 x 1k if can go for the whole works 10 sets and it feels good by the 6th - 8th set then go for it....if not just 6-9 sets also can, see how it feels, gotta run at goal pace or a wee bit faster for good stimulus. I always dig the word "good stimulus" coz of what i do in other areas like strength building/beginner calisthenics/cycling. For SIT, i do that as well, so it varies sometimes 3 sets only sometimes i can go hoot 5.
But really must have sufficient recovery and nutrition/supplements if necessary and strength/plyo etc. I hate injuries.

Goal will be reached eventually, no need for off season if it does not burn you mentally. Actually i havent really had any off season since beginning of 2023 since i really started training, maybe a 2-3 months injury period post Aug 2023 that's when i picked up cycling for cross training lol.....

My mind not that strong/siao.

10 x 1k usually makes more sense for faster runners to run at 10k pace. With 200m jog recovery, that’s 11.8km total distance ran. 6-9 sets works well for slower runners.

In fact, for my pace, it is recommended that I run 8 sets maximum. While, Ran to Japan can run 10 sets maximum.

https://training4endurance.co.uk/running/running-intervals/10k-pace-intervals/#google_vignette

Also, the 1k interval guide I linked above, specifies the jog recovery pace, which Ran to Japan actually kept to 1:00 jog for 200m.

For slower runners, the recovery is longer to compensate for the longer run time for each 1k set.

3-5 sets is good as well but I will run that at 3-5k pace, as a speed interval workout for 10k training. With walk rest instead since speed is the priority.

Classic symptoms.. Wake up in the morning, and standing after a long sitting duration. Never had it, so I have very little research into it. Hope someone who gone thru can provide guidance.

actually it has been going on for weeks and i could still continue with my normal training.

i thought it's just overuse. i didn't know that its PF until my friend told me it is.

Fast twitch baby

Most of us, one of the pre race ritual is try to pang sai to minimize the risk of runner's trots. But sometimes go toilet, nothing to let go, only to worry later in the race the shxt better not come out.

The below research suggest that laxative induced session sees improvement in performance. LOL. But the worrying thing is the effect of laxative may come in multiple waves, and during the run, we can't be sure if the last wave has passed.

Intriguingly, 100 percent saw improvement after a laxative-aided defecation.
