Enjoy being left in the dust, """real runner""". Fartlek chads will continue getting their daily confidence boosts by putting hobbyjoggers in their places, resulting in raised testosterone levels. You wouldn't get it.
What a joke.
I used to do tempo runs at 5:10 pace. You are just slow. Hope to.achieve hero.status one day bro.
Anytime in the past when I was overtaken on a tempo I would surge and repass them again and then change direction and slow back down to my tempo pace and then they won't pass you again. It is annoying if you had a certain route mapped out for your run but better to keep your dignity. If a girl passes I usually just try to go at her pace and compliment her speed. Say she is fast for a girl and be sociable and funny.
Girls love when you do this
I mean maybe sure... until we get to a race

This is why girls carry pepper spray
Do you think Jakob ever gets passed doing countless threshold intervals? I’m sure many a times. But if his mmol was too high his dad would rip him. You have to be disciplined to run the right paces in order to improve. If getting passed by anyone bothers you then stick to the treadmill.

Probably almost never considering what his threshold paces are...
Only race day matters and only official results matter. Head to head racing matters. Times on the track matter. Everywhere else they can only be used to compare similar certified courses. Strava is worthless as is racing stranger down the bikepath on Wed.
