On Thursday the 10k race pace sessions continue at Langlands Place. This weeks session extends the rep distance to 800m. The session is 4 x 800m at 10k pace with 1 minute stand/jog recovery + 5 x 400m at 10k pace with 1 minute stand/jog recovery. This is where you start to find out if the "10k pace" you have been running at in previous weeks over 400m is in fact the correct, sustainable pace. As always, consistency is the name of the game. Be careful doing the U-turn at the half way point in the 800's; take as wide a turn as possible rather than stopping, turning around and starting again. After many weeks of 400's at this pace, the pace should start to feel natural and automatic.
