Sammy, if you do it in under an hour, you'll be under the table in the pub by the time we all get to the finish line :rotfl:

Going to Vienna for a conference in June and they are organising a FREE 5k timed race on one of the mornings - how cool is that and I get a t-shirt

If you've seen the one for Sally then just adjust it to your own liking.

If there's too many miles, cut some out but to target times at 10K you really need to be doing long runs of 10-12 miles otherwise you're just in 'get you round' mode. And 'get you round' is something that leaves me scratching my head - why pay exhorbitant race entry fees to just try to complete a distance? That can be done in training!

So cut it back by all means but if you've paid a hefty entry fee surely you want to do the best you can.

Well given that I have only done a max of 6 miles would you up the mileage straight to ten on a long run or go up a couple of miles per week...having written that down I think I am now going to do 8 this weekend...then up it by 2 miles per week. okay no need to answer that one done it all by myself.

I know I have psychological issues with my running...its not that I can't do it, I don't believe that I can - I realised that this weekend, and I need to get out of that thinking.

At the minute I enter the races to ensure I have to keep up the training...now I have five straight weeks to try and follow a training plan where i actually improve.

Becuase its for orthopaedic surgeons so they are promoting bone health

(I bet the organiser is a runner and just wants to run one )
