What do you think I could run in a 5k based on this workout?
12:36
Definitely sub 17. If I had to guess, probably around 16:35ish on a good day - 17:0x with bad conditions.
How did you feel while running? relaxed or dying to hit pace? The workout indicates a low 16:00. However, some people can nail workouts, but not be able to sustain that same pace in a race.
I was supposed to run them at 2:40 but after the first one, I just kept going. I kept expecting to die but it never happened. It was a hard effort but I was nearly fully recovered at the end of each rest. The first lap would go by in a flash and the second lap would be the actual challenge.
RIP: D3 All-American Frank Csorba - who ran 13:56 in March - dead
