This could have elicited harsher comments if the question was "what is 6:00 mile interval pace to you?"

35 years ago: A typical medium running pace for a 10-12 miler.
Now: Something not even achievable.
It's a pace that I rarely touch in training, can run more than 13 but less than 26 in racing.
But how does a 6 minute mile pace on a treadmill feel compared running a 6 minute mile pace outside?
I am 18 years old and this is my 800m pace however 3 years ago I was 40lbs overweight and this was more like a 200m pace XD "SPRINT"
Mile pace
1980's - Marathon pace
1990's - Half-Marathon pace
2000's - 10k pace
2010's - 5k pace
2019 - out of my reach
I began the 2010's hitting 6:00 pace for 5k if I was really ON, but it is impossible now. When you start declining due to age, it happens really fast (at least for me it did). I couldn't break 6:00 now if you held a gun to my head. I really miss being able to run that fast.
Sigh.....
A sign that I'm not as young as I used to be...
Used to be long run pace back in the day.
Now it's 5k to 10k race pace.
For me any distance of 10 mi to marathon 6 mom is the gold standard. I have beaten it In the hour run by two laps and missed by 2 mins in the 20 mi.
That "hobby jogger" business is bullshit. You go 10 to 20 mis at 6mpm you are a trained runner. Period.
I could play higher than "g" above high "c" on trumpet in a phrase in a band ., but cats who "only" could do "f " or " g" were still hella good players.
Elitists jerks say otherwise.
Probably 25-30 k race pace for me, hopefully marathon race pace by the fall.
