Advice please for a newbie.....I started running about a year ago with two 5km runs a week. Sometimes a bit further and some weeks 3 times. Weekends are for cycling.

This past weekend I did my first 10km race and finished with a time of 1:02. I see it as a start somewhere. My question now - I want to become faster - a lot faster. My aim is to do a 10km in 50min by end of January. Will this be possible and what training must I do to achieve this?

I’ve found that the beat way to get faster is by intervals and shorter distance time trials. A lot of 800m sprints, 2km and 4km TT’s and you should see an improvement quickly. I think a lot of people just go out and run x amount of k’s at a steady pace. Focus on running the short stuff instead of just jogging.

Dropping a minute per km in 2 months is a big ask. @Frosty has a real good program he followed for 10km and ultimately 21

 

Speaking of which...@frosty when is your 21

Well all you need to do is to Accelerate

 

 

Best is to start with a 10km program, plenty available on the internet

This is something I'd like to start to do. Up to now, I've only ran to increase distance and time with every run. 

 

Do these TTs/speed sessions/etc. really carry over to increase your endurance/speed over longer distances?

I will be very surprise if this comrades entries makes a week.   3064 already and every time you refresh it is 50 more!

Was so maklik, voel soos 'n lokval [emoji39]

Surely you don't need to have run the qualifier before you enter...? (Not that I have entered or plan to do so.)
