Preparing for a 10 mile race on October 5th. Advice wanted?

Question

I am trying to train for a 10 mile race that is on Oct 5th. Due to sickness for 2 weeks I had to reduce my training and take it easy. Now I am running about 4 miles 5 days a week and 6 miles on one day. My pace ranges from 5:45 to 6:30 depending on the day and how I feel. For example, the last 6 mile run I did in 32:00. I could have gone faster, but that was not the goal. The goal was to run further and be comfortable and have good form.

Answer 1

just be mentaly, emotionaly, and physicaly healthy and everything will goes on..

God Bless and good luck...

Answer 2

dang you faster than me..my 10k is 37:42....id say you have to start running further..try to get a 12 or 15 mile run in..doesnt even have to be a fast pace..just do it so you know 10 miles is easy

Answer 3

well, get back in condition by taking 2 weeks to get back in the training you were in, you have only lost 2 weeks worth of conditioning.  Besides your 5:20 pace is enough to win that race anyway. Just build up your tempo run  gradually and you should be fine.  Every so often add on distance.  I have been putting in 40 miles.  The other day I ran 10 miles in a little over an hour, I think you should be just fine.  Good luck and remember it is on October 5th don't freak out and remember trust in God.
