I'm 20 yrs old, previous PR 41:30 from the only time I ran a 10k, about 5 years ago. I just ran a 16:44 5k on Thanksgiving in very cold temperatures, and my actual PR is from last July when I ran a 16:24.
My goal for this upcoming 10k is ~35:00. Is that reasonable?
^ Anyone?
Based on this info:
Will it make a difference if we say 35:20 or 34:40? Will it change your pacing? If you change your pacing, you will only lose or win a couple of seconds. So you don't have to ask the question.
If you provide us more info on other PR's, training etc. We can give a better prediction. If you are very speed oriented, sub 36 might be a struggle. If you are very distance oriented, sub 34 might be possible...
35:00 seems reasonable to me. Your endurance is a lot more of a factor when going up to the 10K. If you've had decent mileage with some harder longer runs, I'd think you'd be good to go. Run negative splits too!
Update: Won my race in 39:30. I know, slow time but I wasn't feeling great that morning and the course was slightly muddy. Plus I threw up afterward.
Well, at least you came back and reported. I've stopped answering these threads because 90% of the jerkoffs who post them never return.
