Just about to go out for my Friday pace run and I have uncovered an ugly math problem. The goal is to run some miles at the pace of my next race. If it's a 5k I'll run fewer miles, but faster miles than if it's a half marathon. Next race is a 10k and my goal time is just under 40 minutes - which is 6:25 pace.
The problem is that my current PR for a single mile is 6:30. So somehow my 10k pace (6.2 miles) is now faster than my 1 mile best time ever. Seems like I should have perhaps been working on my speedwork somewhere along the line.
The plan is 2x1 mile at 6:25, which will be 1 mile warmup, 1 mile at 6:25, recovery for a couple minutes, another mile at 6:25, then easy running for 5 miles total.
Let's see what happens.....
