So I was just wondering what other people thought would be a reasonable goal for outdoors this year. I ran 4:20 and 8:50 indoors this season. I'll be concentrating mostly on the 5k outdoors, so what do you think would be a good goal. I'll be hitting around 80 to 85 miles a week for the next month. 15:15? 15:00? 14:45? Any ideas/advice would be appreciated.
In that shape I comfortably ran 14:53 outdoors. I could have run faster at the end of the season, but was only in tactical races and got sick before a last-chance meet where I could have gone hard. Then again, I also could have run faster than 8:50 that indoor season (ran 8:53), so maybe I was in better shape than you. But maybe you're in better than 8:50 shape yourself. I'd say aim for sub-15:00.
Yea I definitely think I was in better than 8:50 shape probably more like 8:40 shape. Just out of curiosity, what kind of work did you put in that outdoor season? Was there a workout that stands out in your mind?

How old are you and what do your coach think?
