    When I train for a ten km, my longest fastest run is usuall three to four weeks before the race. The weeks leading up I call "recovery weeks" and only run 5 - 7 km. it works for me! And btw, your time is excellent!!!

    Running is mental. Your brain will give in long before your legs do.

    As already said, 1 hr 7 is a very good time for a 10k! I did the titanic quarter 10k last year in 1 hour 15. And was far from being last. Did it again last Sunday in 1 hr 03, and there were loads of people finishing after me.

    You can do this! Hydrate well in the days beforehand, and enjoy it .
