Mile, 2 mile, and 5000. What lap does the pain start setting in? For me I'd say around 600m in for the mile, lap 4 for the 3000m, 5000 5th-6th lap.
Post your PRs as well. Curious to see how it fluctuates between faster people/slower people.
Mine are:
4:35
9:35
15:47
4:40 (pain starts 800m in)
10:00 (pain starts after 2K)
16:02 (pain starts at 1.5 miles)
I'll include the HM (1:14) because it's a longer race but for some reason the discomfort always seems to ramp up around the 8 mile mark
-5k for me doesn't really start to hurt until after the 2 mile mark, but the pain ramps up fast when it does. The last couple laps are always hell. PR is 14:34.
-The 10k doesn't really start to hurt for me until the 8k or so and the pain never gets as intense as it does in the short races.
-The 1500/mile go by so fast that I often don't remember when the pain really starts to hit. In my most recent 1500 I didn't really warm up and I remember hurting really bad only 300m in. I think most of the time it's closer to the 800m mark though.
2/3 through any race is a general rule for me.
1500: 4:11. To be honest, I only hurt in that race the last 300 - I just couldn't move my legs any faster. In high school, when I ran the 1600/mile it usually started hurting around the beginning of the third lap.
3000: 8:53 These always hurt from before half way. I don't think I ever figured out how to pace them properly.
5000: 16:2x This PR was a split on my way to 10000 ignonimy (I fast talked my way into a race where the next slowest runner was a guy who was around 31 minutes.). That race started hurting at the mile.... it simply sucked. Other 10ks though usually didn't really start hurting until 4 miles or so.
800- usually goes by super fast so I don't always get it until after but sometimes startes to become unbearable after about 500m. PR is 2:21.
1600- after about 600, Pr is 5:07
3200- when I ran my PR of 10:59 it started about lap 3 but not real bad. The pain become extreme about 5 laps in.
1600- today it hurt 100% of the time, but usually around 1000m in is when the pain is close to its peak and stays there. PR of 4:59
3200- hurts around lap 5 but today it hurt 100% of the time, 10:44 PR
5000- hurts after 1.5 mi and PR of 17:40
mile/1500 - 700m-800m is when i usually start to hate it (4:30ish miler)
2mi/3k - hurts after 2,3 laps but not too bad, then really bad after 2k. 9min 3k
5k - in my PRs it never hurt that bad but on average races, about 1.5mi. 15:30

lol
1/3-2/3 rule:
1/3 - If you're hurting by 1/3 of the race you went out too fast
2/3 - If you're not hurting by 2/3 of the race you went out too slow.
Somewhere in that range is when you should hurt.

If you start hurting at 18-19 miles in a marathon, you're screwed.
Mile: 4:16
800m: 1:56
Mile usually start hurting around 1000m in, but sometimes as early as 800m or as late as 1300m depending on how it goes out.
In the 800 usually about 500-600m in.
Also half marathons become agonizing for me around 10miles in, but I'd care not to disclose my time.
