Eric Finan in his HM race comments:

I feel that 8 miles at HM race pace effort about 10-14 days out is a pretty good indicator of what you should be able to do on race day

i wonder if the equivalent rule of thumb works for shorter races. like is 3km at 5k race pace effort a good indicator 10-14 days out from a 5k? maybe i should find out in a couple of days.
Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

good point!

I think it does. I used to always say, I felt like my 2 miler leading up to a 5k was my key workout and best indicator of what i'd run.

For 1 mile, 1km to 1200m is around that for me.

And for 10k, my "4 mile tempo" seemed to be pretty spot on for predicting my 10k time.

good stuff!

If all goes well I'll be giving this a go in 2-3 weeks!

some exciting stuff coming up for LBSS, joe, and adarqui! we all have big races coming up!

May 28 is my biggest, probably the fastest "summer" race down here.

Need to get my 2 miler 10:45 (or better) before then, and 1 mile consistently 4:5X to have a chance. hah. eek!

Nicolo burned out:

Ummm Were gonna have to re-think this training. Crash n burn

So my legs are completely fried from training wt the Kenyan group last month uggg. Was debating about dropping out at mile 5. Ran my best races in my workouts last month and my legs haven't been the same after. Some 10-12 mile runs were faster than this. Just gonna run easy mileage for a while to reset my body now.

Nicolo Filippazzo I've run 65:00 pb. Was expecting to go sub 1:03:00 but I fried my self last month in Santa FE and ran my peak way to soon in my workouts. I literally jogged in last few miles uggg until next time though.

Just a reminder, Kipchoge opened with a 4:22 mile in the 2018 London Marathon.

Even if you hadn’t felt happiness in years, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist or can’t happen. It doesn’t mean you are not worthy. Keep giving yourself chances. Do not be afraid of failure, because if there is effort of trying, failure is impossible. #contodo

King Ches

this is such a great series. great videos. really shows a ton of the workout. They show his full 2 x 1 mile at the end.. 4:29,

I love (jk) how he doesn't acknowledge the other runner coming at him, at like 4:25.. sigh. :/

But the race was much deeper than Shitara. A slew of Japanese men turned in career performances. Japan put six runners in the top ten in the men’s race, and had nine runners who ran faster than 2:10. Yes, nine. After a quick perusal of the fastest-ever marathon times, I found that only 17 American men in history have ever gone sub 2:10. On a record-eligible course (i.e. not Boston) that number shrinks to 11.

that 10 mi jog @ 7:20 speed. jelly.

Quote
Second run of the day, 10 mile jog @ 7:20 miles this morning, this evening 4 mile jog @ 8:00 miles w/ 8x100 meter strides 17-14 seconds). Legs are finally back to normal after last weekends 21km down in Costa Rica #clasicasanjuan, Tuesday I was running 9 min miles. Tonight is something I need to be doing more, taking the time to do my strides/sprints, often we neglect to do anything after a normal run. I normally just do 6x15 second strides, back and forth on a road, which is perfectly fine. There is nothing like being at the track, doing some drills, stretching and doing the strides right. What a day, what a night! 800’s first thing tomorrow morning in Boulder!

Check the workout:

30x400m, 1 min recoveries @ 2200m / 8218ft altitude:. Splits: 66, 67, 67, 66, 66, 65, 66, 66, 66, 65, 65, 64, 65, 64, 65, 65, 61, 64, 65, 64, 64, 64, 63, 64, 64, 64, 64, 63, 62, 59.

c'mon man that is batshit insane. 30 x 400m @ those splits, in that elevation, on dirt, with only 1min recovery.

look at the last 400....... :-* :ibrunning: :wowthatwasnutswtf:
