39:59, Breaking 40mins/10k
Discussion
I'll bet you breaking 40 minutes is as much in the mind as in physical training. It is a big psychological barrier an once you get through it the shackles will be off. Practise running 1km reps at sub 40 pace so you know what it feels like then stitch them all together and get your PB. Or something like that.

Thanks man, just been training. Knackered!AM: 2m w/up. 4m 7:15 (tired from week, no rest).
PM: 6m easy
5k/20:49
Had a long week of training including a 90m bike ride so not unhappy with that, would have liked to be Sub20, but the last mile was 6:55. Splits (6:26, 6:45, 6:55).
It seems i have no stamina which is different to endurance (i thought it was always the same thing!). Want to try and get miles to 6:15 and then build the stamina from there. This is not easy! Absolutely spent now.

Would be interested to see what basic training plans people are using to target sub 40 min 10K.
I ran my first 10K last month in 59:17, was happy to get under 1 hour even though I was overtaken on the finish straight by someone dressed in a Bull costume.
Want to start following some kind of program rather than just aimlessy going out for a run every other night.
