has anyone done this? wrote:
A kid i coach is a junior his 5k PRs are
Freshman: 17:18
Sophomore: 17:15
Junior: 17:21
He has always done easy runs at a 10-11 min pace, honestly sometimes i think itd do more if he just walked them, he runs with the guys who cant break 25 on his easy runs.. Is he doing them too slow?
He does about 50 mpw
I run 18 minute miles for my long easy runs and 14 minute miles for my harder runs. Now when I race have run a 4:10 mile without ever doing spead work.
I use the lyriad phyilosophy and the slower you go the faster you'll be. Always kept this quote in mind that I heard from an old chinese coach I think the coaches name is Ma Juneren.
