Is 10 minute miles a target based on your current ability or a number plucked out of the air? If you base your training paces on a target that is too fast you can injure yourself or demoralize your self pretty easily.
Better to start off too easy and up the pace over the course of the training plan.

Hi Matt, it’s the kind of pace I’m running at fairly comfortably on my initial, short runs – the key target for me is to get round, never done more than a 10k before and that was a loooong time ago, so this is uncharted territory for me. Would love to beat four and half, hope to beat five, but I’m not particularly bothered about pace as long as I can roll my porky old bones round before it goes dark. 🙂
Edit to say I hope I pick up a bit of pace between now and then, but I ain’t pushing it. 🙂
