This calendar year I have thus far run ~ 2,150 miles at an average pace of 6:31.6 minute miles.
What's your average pace for the year and your PRs (5k, 10k, half, marathon)?
(I think I'm running too fast on average for my PRs but would be interested to see how these figures compare for others)
Mine is 7:27, and I’ve run 16:30 and a 9:15 3k. I take morning runs pretty slow, so around 8:00 pace, base distance runs usually average out to around 7:30, and long runs I usually average around 6:50-7:00.
I’ve also noticed in periods where I’ve overtrained, my pace per mile is quicker than periods where I’ve peaked well. Anyone can do workouts, but knowing when to back off on an easy run can really help.
