Running my first collegiate 10k tomorrow and I was curious what you guys think I could do based on the following workout I did last week:
2x2mile, 4 min jog rest after each, 1xmile 3 min jog rest, 2x800 1:30 jog rest after each. run on sloping asphalt roads
-first 2 mile: 10:20 (5:20, 5:00) pace was off for 1st mile but felt good and sped up
-second 2 mile: 10:05 (5:05, 5:00)
-1 mile: 4:53
-800s: 2:24, 2:23
quick clarification, I think the first 2 mile could've been at 10 flat since I felt great but the pacers were kind of off and I just trusted they were going 10 flat pace.

looks like you're shooting for low 31s based on that workout, but it's XC so i'll guess 31:50
really depends how hard that workout was for you. i could probably complete that workout (on a track, perfect conditions) but not even break 32. you could be in 30min shape, could be 32min shape. fair bet would be to go out at 5min pace
thanks a lot for the feedback. I did the whole workout solo except the first half of the first 2 mile since I kind of pulled away from everyone else. I think if I had a group with me and pushing me I could've done 10-15 seconds faster since I felt good.
Any other predictions?
somewhere around 31-32? your PRs might help with predicting...
