To each thier own. I've found i can come within 3 sec of my 400 pace when I do 10 X 400 with 200 jog. So, if i can do 10 X 400 avg 75 then i know i can run a flat 5k at about 78 pace.
Absolutely and I when I can complete the run from the recliner to the can to the refrig and make it back to the recliner and recline before the commercial is over then I'm ready to run a sub 15 minute 5k.
These things are soooo correlated.
Obviously if you can run a anaerobic repetition style workout in xx then you can run a largely aerobic continous race in xy.
It took me 3 minutes to walk from my car to the starting line last week when I ran 15:08. So if it only takes me 2:30 next time I know its money in the bank that I'll break 15:00.
Try indicator workouts that have a little better correlation with the end goal.
Oh, and have a nice day.
