I have no calculated any of my running in years.. when I run I just go out and run and play it by feel. Never calculate my time.. I want to get over the fear and see how fast I am once and for all.. but I'm afraid that my ego might be obliterated and I'm slower than I thought.

Do "easy" time trials.
For example, if you believe you are in 40 minutes shape for 10k run 10k in 55 minutes. Too easy? Go for 50. And so on.
Do the same for other distances.

Disagree. Just go run a race. Sign up with a different name if you wish.
Just run a race. If you’re scared, enter a big race where no one will recognize you.
Steve Jones and Mark Nenow when they ran their PRs they had no idea that they were that fast. They just ran.
I believe Billy Mills was one second off his 5k PR at the halfway point of his 10k gold. He had no idea he was that good until he went for it.
Go measure a course and run a time trial.
It’s just easier.
I jumped in a 15k about ten years ago after not having raced in a long time.
Won, set a course record, but entered under my pseudonym ‘mike miles’.....
Fortunately the lady writing the checks for the winners knew me, winked, and wrote down my real name....
Just do a nice downhill TT....
1. Go to your local track.
2. Choose a distance - 400, 1600, 3200, or 5000.
3. Time yourself.
Done. Repeat as necessary.

I thought this was going to be a Larry Rawson joke.
How fast do you think you are? It'd be interesting to see what your perceived level of speed is compared to reality.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
