5k race coming up.
Always go out really hard first mile and feel terrible second mile and then run slowest mile as 2nd mile.
Should I try to run a tempo feel pace for the first 800, probably go out faster than tempo anyways bc excitement, but at least start of slower?
Does this work well? anyone tried?
Try to run your 5k pace for the first 800. If you don't know what that is or should be, post some info about your current workouts or races.
How about going out at 5k pace? This isn't rocket science.
3 mile tempo- 18:50, pretty comfortable
6x800 meters tempo sorta, around 2:55, comfortable
10 miles at 7 min pace as recent long run
I think my goal is to do 2:50's for each 800, but I think 2:55 will feel like 3:05 at the start
Do it--your tempo feel is probably your 5k pace. But you should try to get a better handle on your pacing. Also, you may consider doing your pre-race strides slower (at 5k pace, so your legs don't get confused).
Do my workouts indicate that I'm in sub 17:30 shape?

More ridiculous over analysis of running.
Just go out and run.
You clearly are a recreational runner so just go out and run it at a nice steady pace. If you feel you have excess energy with 1km to go pick it up a little with 500m to go if you are feeling strong give it your all for the rest of the race.
What you run at the beginning means nothing it's how you finish.
Most likely.

What is the most stupid running advice you've ever heard?🤣(It can be funny)
Are Asics, Saucony, and New Balance envious of Brooks, Hoka ,and On?
