Subject: RE: Any other college runners feel like they race every morning????
Body:

This is one of the reasons why I quit my college team after one CC season.

-Our morning 5 milers always ALWAYS ended up at 5:00-5:10 pace.

-Our 8-10 mile recovery runs started out at 6:15 and ALWAYS ended up significantly sub 6. There's always one guy that's feeling good - and the whole group goes along. I was no saint - I led a few of those runs. I was completely brainwashed and knew nothing about training.

It was frustrating to me that I could do the following workouts:

8X800 @ 2:16
5X1mile @ 4:50-4:55 on a flat grass course
10 miles in 55 minutes (long tempo run)

But could never break 27 minutes on an 8K CC course!!

It's so clear to me now why I raced so poorly - man I could have used Letsrun way back then.
