Random Running Questions

Ososlo · 2014-05-31 11:56:28

Not sure if this will be a goer, but personally I like the idea of having a place to pose some random questions about running related stuff that don’t justify a thread of their own. I’ll kick it off. - What is the best time of the day to drink your beetjuice? - Why do cyclists take precedence over runners in the phoenix…

My best 10k of 42-23 minutes (somewhere inbetween can't remember) was ran using a massive negative split, route was hilly first 5k too)
Went through ½ in 22:30 and finished in 20:10-20:20 so negative split is the way to go I would say. I try to go even pace for 5k and below but with the longer stuff always start out slower. Not too much but a little bit - maybe 10 seconds slower per k for the first 4k.
