How fast will I run a 5k tomorrow?

I'm jumping in a 5k tomorrow, because I haven't raced a 5k in about a year.

However, I've only been really training for about 3 weeks, and really have just one track session to base any level of fitness off of. So...based on the workout times from below, does anyone have any guesses as to how fast I'll run tomorrow?

5x1200 w/90 seconds rest:

4:22

4:17

4:10

4:08

4:00

Started at about tempo pace, and cut them down, to where the last 3 were probably more of a VO2Max effort.

It was pretty windy on the track that day, but will probably be pretty windy at the race tomorrow.

I was kind of thinking 17:45ish would be a good goal, depending on what the wind is doing.

Anyone have any other thoughts? Any input is appreciated.

Sheesh...I'm really getting tired of this....but FOR THE LAST TIME.....I got into my Delorian, charged up the flux capacitor, and went to the race tomorrow....You probably don' twant to hear this.....But it wasn't good....You TOTALLY bonked at mile 2..........you ended up walking to the finish line and got beat by a fat powerwalking women wearing a camelback and an iPod....And a rediculous pink wig.....Your time was 31:16.....

Sorry man, but it was clearly listed in Greys Sports Almanac......you're screwed.

re: va boy

if your male and running that slow, who cares? In fact, if your female and running that slow (and not hot) who cares?

re: not interested

I care, asshole. If you don't care, don't read, don't post. Don't be a dick and try and bring down someone else's goals by being an ass who thinks he's so much better than the rest of the world.

re: Curious...

Stallyn,

Walmart gave me my money back and some gift certificates FYI. The mechanic there was ASC certified (same as any mechanic).

I think you've got 1730 wrapped up pretty easy. I just ran a 1630 indoors, and I don't think that workout would be "easy" for me. Short rest is really a good indicator. I'd take it out in 322 for the first K and see where you go from there.

Good luck

Curious,

Stallyn is a jerk; and clearly a nerd to remember that much about "Back to the Future."
