Today, I did some speed work at short distances, along with walking between it. Today was going to be a walking day only, but I threw in some speed.
The strangeness of the distance is because I focused on a point to point run:
1. .62 in 4:12
2. .27 in 1:45
3. .18 in 1:13
4. .30 in 1:45
5. .56 in 3:49
6. .21 in 1:23
On a scale of 1-10 as far as typical speed work for this distance, where does this fit for someone who wants to beat a 5k pr of 19:35?
what is this, a Guassian Elimination?
GTFOH!!
Are the distances in miles?
You ran 0.27 miles (about a quarter mile) in 105 seconds? That sounds like the opposite of speed work.
4. None of them are really anywhere close to your 5K pace, much less faster than your 5K pace, except maybe the last 2 intervals. That's not speedwork, that's a mild tempo.
I am not even sure I can run a 19:35 And all my speed work is faster than that

Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
