Have been taking it relatively easy the last few weeks with only one hard run per week but last night I did my first session aimed at my target pace, which was 4 x 1km @ 3:20/km with 2 minutes rest. I definitely feel I needed the 2 minutes rest especially after the second rep but was happy with the splits 3:19, 3:18, 3:17, 3:16. My route was quite tree lined so that's why I overcooked the pace as the watch lost me quite often.
Plenty of thoughts last night of "how can I possibly maintain that pace for 3 km. 2 km maybe but 3!!". And so the mental games have started in my head. Hit the first km on pace and not too fast, try and gain a second or two in the second and hang on for the third. Whether that's possible will depend on the route.
I'll probably do some shorter distance faster pace sessions next, like 400s and 800s.
I think thats going to be my strategy as well. 3km is probably beyond me running at my best for 10mins, and the chance of me being my best given the consistency or lack of from my training is fairly hit and miss.
Did a hard (appropriately distanced) 5k TT with some friends on Wed night, we each figured we would finish 30 seconds apart one guy planned a 19:30, me with a 19, and one with an 18:30, so we set off in that order 30seconds apart. I flagged a bit in the mid 3 to 4 km section. and got reeled in by the guy behind me.
Ended up with the two lads almost neck and neck to finish, 1st starter (19:30 prediction) home at 18:48, 3rd started home in 18:04 and I was "last" in 19:06. At least i was closest to my predicted time
For me its all about that first km, getting that appropriate level of speed up early but not overcooking it, maybe a few more disciplined shorter reps at that pace may help get the muscle memory in tune with knowing what it should be doing.0 -

Either I'm gone mad or Garmin is winding me up... This run has totally changed on my plan. I wonder did it go... 'No way you're capable of that love, wind yourself back in there' :pac:
I cut my run short on Sun, did it think I wasn't able and rejig itself?
I'll stick to the original plan anyhow, but I didn't realise the plan changed like that.0 -

I'd no relevant PB to compare against so was thinking I'd be in the 38 something range. A bit of a shock to run 37:07.
The McMillan calculator predicts a 3 km time of 10:10 based on that. It does mismatch my current mile time by about 10 seconds though so... Basically it looks like I'm in for another nailbiter trying to crack these round numbers

Whinge Alert
I'm battered and bruised. In body and mind :pac: Our house was raided by Gardai last week and yesterday I had a disagreement with the bathroom floor as it flew out from under me
I'm so all over the camp I haven't picked a route yet. I don't want hills... well I dont want to be a total wuss and avoid them altogether, but I really don't want them in the second half and they're so big around here! I was going to do the local parkrun route, but apparently there's a weirdo hanging around in the bushes trying to grab kids. Although I certainly couldn't be mistaken for a child (except perhaps in height) the way my luck is going I'm not taking any chances :eek:
I have a vague idea of where I might go, so we'll see how it goes. I'm not one of those that can 'smash it' despite adversity. I just hope I can try harder than I planned and finish up happy I did all I could.0 -

Ironic I know, I refer to it as “The day my Independence was taken away”.0 -
