    My opinion, you most likely already have great speed, you need a solid aerobic base and the ability to carry that speed over distance. I'd focus on tempo runs intsead of intervals, and definitely longer easy runs, at easy to talk pace, building them up to 8-10 miles. Those will do wonders for being able to hold your speed over 6.2 miles.

    Yep. Start with maybe 4 or 5, and then each week add another interval up until 10 intervals max. I usually plan it based on how many weeks I have to train. I aime to do 10 intervals for two weeks in a row. If you have enough time, then go back down to say 5 or 6, and start with the intervals a bit faster than last time and work way up.

    Thanks to everyone here in this old, old post for their help.

    I ran the 10k on Sunday in 50:09.

    A bit gutted I didn't get under 50 minutes but overall I'm pretty pleased.

    45 minutes next year!
