Are you using the guided run option on NRC? If not, I recommend it. I just finished the Next Long Run (the one immediately after the Fartlek Run) this morning. I’d say as long as your 10k pace is more effort than recovery and 5k is more effort than the 10k, you are doing fine. Just getting out and doing the run is a success!
Edit: I just noticed your post was a month old! I only found this magazine today. Hopefully your running is going well!
