After getting tested last week, my lactate threshold pace is just under 5:30 per mile
(3:25 per km)
I am currently running 85 mile per week and I’m racing a 5k and a 10k in the coming weeks
PB’s are 15:03 & 31:16
What times should I expect to run for these races ?
About 15:37 and 32:30 from my experience based on the 3:25 LT pace.
31:00 & 15:00
So the man in the white coat told you that your LT Pace is 5.30, and you think that this has such meaninful significance that you can determine target race pace from it?
You can't.
The boffins have no idea what your racing lactate levels will be.
Better to run 5x1000m that will give you much more meaningful info.
The real question is, do you feel more or less fit than when you ran 15:03 and 31:16?
what would 5X1000m tell me. should that give me an indication of 1k splits for a 5k ?
what recovery ?
how would that transalte to 10 k ?
15:03 & 31:16
