A/R TT....Round 3 - 10min TT, 10k TT, 10m TT, Saturday July 4th

I am so sorry to ask this. Its probably the stupidest question ever asked here :pac: but I'm having one of those pre-event mental hiccups.
My watch is set in miles right and all paces in recent months have been that way so I know where I am with them and whether I have room to push on. Actually cringing for myself here now
I want to keep it simple on Sat and finish when the watch tells me 10k is done. But keep the pace feedback in miles. Does that make any sense? :pac:
I've split the run in two and set a pace for each 5k on my watch. At the moment it says 'Run 5km - xx:xx to yy:yy min/mi. Run 5km - aa:aa to bb:bb min/mi
So that's it? On Sat, the watch will tell me the distance in KM (or at least beep when the 10k is done) but the pace feedback will be in miles? Admittedly I'm over complicating it, but I want to avoid any need for mental arithmetic or misinterpretations in mile 4 when I'm dying

The setting on my watch for pace is separate to the workout setting. I had 5k in for that TT but didn't change anything with pace settings so still had it showing as pace per mile. If your watch is also a Garmin I can't imagine it would be any different for you
enjoy and good luck! 0 -

Thanks ReeReeg, I really appreciate the response.
Yeah..mine is a garmin and everything it's telling me is the same as yours.. So 5k at a per mile pace. I just wanted to make sure so thats not an extra battle I have to have with myself :pac:
Thanks again 0 -
Quick one folks.
Tomorrow I'll update the table and start checking the names on Strava etc..
Its last chance salo0n to go for it and stick a target up!
Anyone not on the table yet but posted don't worry I'll go through the thread and scoop up the updates and the drop outs
And 10 minute folks, its 10 minutes! I need to know what you did in 10 mins. So lets say you run 3k but do it in 10:06 and stop it at 10:06, I can't record that as a 10 minute result. Set your watch for 10 minutes!! You can run through it and have your watch on km splits so it will record 3kms for you anyway
P.S wheres Healy my apparent partner in crime?0 -

How do you set your watch to do exactly 10 mins, my Garmin is so old you need to put coins in it to get it working!!!

Quick reminder that we will take results off Strava not results posted here.
Instead of that last TT lads advice to drink beer before your TT and give you kudos for doing so, I'm more health conscious and will advise you to get some SLEEP! Its likely to be wet and windy tomorrow and you will need all your mental resolve to do a TT in those conditions, especially the longer 10s.. 0 -

I am so happy! 1:10:17. I thought I was pushing my luck hoping for 1:10, put if I kept my cool, I might just get it. Maybe I could have found those 17 seconds somewhere and I'd be absolutely over the moon!!! But I'm not going to let that spoil today.
I can't thank all the organisers of these TTs enough. In the middle of this pandemic, when I'm sure you're all flat out with WFH, family life and your own running, you all clubbed together and put these events together for the good of everyone else. Fair play lads.
I always thought that when people said 'slow down', it was for the easy part of any training run. What I didn't twig, until I did the mile TT, is that you have to control the workout paces too. I may be able to hold on to a pace I like seeing on my watch for a 2 minute interval, but if I can only do a mile in 10:30, that's what I should be working off. So, although I was bitterly disappointed with the mile TT, I benefitted so so much from doing it. I spent 2015 thinking I was doing a terrible job and not improving (no disrespect to ecoli or whatever his name is now and his plan ), but when I look back at the workouts on Strava, I know now I was running everything way too fast plus sprinting through intervals so it's no wonder I had nothing to pull out of the bag when it came to race days and ended up like an angry little gremlin
Today, with the benefit of sorting my paces out in the training runs, I could go out and know I could take it all at a pace that was appropriate. I changed my route last minute to include the hills, because when I looked at my planned route it was way too downhill. So when the hills came I tackled them okay and when I tired I told myself that going uphill was not the time to be making judgement calls, so I kept my cool.
The paces I'd set I worked not to hit if it felt too comfortable, so I can't say I took any part conservatively, or was kind to myself at any stage. I began to waiver in mile 5 so I just blanked everything out and held on, and the benefit of all the tempo/threshold training runs came in to play. When I tried to push with half a mile to go, I started counting with a plan of just lashing all I had left in to it with quarter of a mile to go. But it flew in so fast (time wise) I lost track and left it too late, maybe that's where I would have got those 17 seconds! :pac:
But I'm delighted. I'm not where I was in 2015, but I'm certainly not where I was 10 weeks ago either!
Thanks for these TTs and for allowing a slow-mo like me to take part and for answering all the stupid queries I'll never regret putting my name in despite the results being way off where everyone else is.
I'll go donate now.
Best of luck everyone else running today!!0 -

Just back and tucking into some breakfast ... 1.5 miles on the nose for the 10' so 2.41 km, a fair bit below the 2.5 km target. Started well, just outside target pace until the mile mark and then, instead of picking it up as per the plan, started slowing down and the will to fight the hurt just wasn't there today. Oh well - onwards and upwards!
Thank you to the organisers and well done to everybody who is taking part today. 0 -

10 minutes 2,99x metres :eek:
Let me tell you. That hurt. Alot. From around a mile in the pain started. Somehow I held the pace for the most part but there was to be no kick in the last minute or the final 200.
Anyway, here they come
Excuse the first: I misjudged my finish line. I ended up having to run out of the business park onto a pathless road to finish.
Excuse the second: To make sure I got the 10 minute interval I switched off autolap on the watch so got no automatic splits. I thought I was off by two seconds though after the second km so it's not a real excuse. I had a pretty good idea where I was at. There was no way I was kicking on today even if I noted the split being down a little.
Excuse the third: The second and hardest km was on a gentle upslope straight into the morning breeze for the entire km. I managed to not lose too much of my pace here but it sapped me.
Final excuse: Aerobic base :pac:
Back in reality I got my 3k in 10:02. And I'm absolutely delighted to get so close. The doubter in me was secretly predicting 10:10s. Had to aim high though with the 10 minute target. I couldn't run it any faster than I gave it today as my legs are still reminding me. And I feel I'm already overachieving considering the mileage I put in weekly anyway. Better weather and a more tactical route i might just squeak it on current fitness levels but I'll tell you one thing it's going to take me at least a couple of days to recover fully.
And happy anniversary B.0 -

I'm active on Strava and some high level discussions are going on behind the scenes between Mike and myself. 0 -
