How do you pace the 3200 best? I tried for even splits and Ran a 10:34, and I'm trying to get sub 10. I felt like I had some left in the tank. Next meet I'm going for 10:19 and I know I will be running alone, in pretty decent weather conditions. I though of it mentally as 3 separate 400s for the first 1200, then for laps 4 5 and 6 I broke it up into 200s mentally, and then the last 2 laps I just focused on closing fast. Any advice for pacing?
I crapped so hard I damaged the bowl
Since this is just for a workout, you will be by yourself, right?
run faster
always helps
If you want to break 10, run 1:15s and kick the last 300m. Make sure you first 400m is an even 1:15, no fast start, just try to immediately get to 5:00 pace.

To be serious, you’re way way overthinking it. If you want to break 10:19, go out at 5:09 or maybe slightly faster and then just hammer it home. Try to run even 77’s and until the last 600 or something. You don’t need to break it up into a million pieces
