A few thought...Ha ha, I like Grellan's comment! A few thoughts come to mind... perhaps your speed sessions with your mate Vince are leaving you flat? He's too fast for you? I remember well Craig Mottram talking about his speed sessions - the fact that half the blokes in the group could match him, but they were nowhere in races. They flattened themselves to keep up with a bloke who was in much better shape.<br />The other thought is "taper" - you're not THAT young, so need a good taper and be well rested for an all-out effort over 10k. The VO2Max thingo said 34 minutes, so no reason why you shouldn't be running 35 to 36 at least.<br />My last thought is not enough all-out racing over 3000 metres (or shorter). If you're relatively quick at 3k, 18-minutes through 5 in a 10 should feel like an easy jog. Can you run 9:45 or so for a track 3k time trial week in, week out? If so, 35 or under for 10k shouldn't be that hard.Ewenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093209634556111656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34739089.post-85598606086765173202015-12-03T07:45:25.430+09:002015-12-03T07:45:25.430+09:00Something is certainly not right - probably the fa...Something is certainly not right - probably the fact that you're Christmas tree is up in November.
