If you are able to beat people in a 5k by over a minute on the road (or anything up the a half marathon by a couple minutes) but lose every time to those same runners by a minute on 8k cross.
Can anyone explain this to me? Im older than my competition (28yrs old). That's the only thing I can see. Most of the guys are 18-23.
I ran 15:27 5k PB on road and multiple sub 16s, and runners who havent broken 17min are beating me on 8k cross. My 10k and half marathon PBs which are recent, are much better than theirs..
Anyone else have this problem?
