I knew you'd be fast

But, don't worry about the pace. Just try to concentrate on the distant or amount of time. I think the 10-minute mile it suggests is really an average pace. Most beginner runners cannot run that fast (me included lately

). It's been over a year since I broke 30-minutes in a 5k, but that's another story.

The point is, don't be too concerned if you can't keep up that pace. Speed will come as you build endurance. You'll find that at some point, it will just drop for no reason. They say you should concentrate more on the miles at this point. Eventually, you can try some of their other trainig schedules for speedwork.

I find that I get the fastest when I'm running about 4-5 days per week and have a couple of strength days in between. Interval workouts also help to build speed.
