20x400 with 50 seconds-1:00 jog recovery on tired legs: what is my 5k shape

Why 20? You should have done 50.

About 22-23 minutes.

Yeah ok, 20x400 in 87-82( avg 84) with 50 seconds recovery, at a relaxed effort. I did a temp 5k in 18 the other day. My easy days are faster then that, actually l will do a second run tonight at a faster pace then that. I was running easy because l was running on tired legs and a sore calf, but that workout time is way faster then that.

20 is a sold session in terms of volume, considering l was hurting and couldn't hit the paces for 12.

17:02.

Obvious troll. Slightly humorous

You mean the 22 to 23 minutes? Without doing the math l ran the total 8k plus the last 200 with recovery added in, faster then that. I guess some people like to clown on here. I also was in pain with a sore calf.

I'm gonna say around 18:50-19:00 with ideal weather on a MONDO track (with pacers obviously).

17:34ish give or take one second

I wasn't running hard. I was under control and l was hurting because of calf pain.

I would say between 17:30 to 17:45

Alright, alright... 18:45 final answer

I did a real hard workout Sunday, so because bad weather is moving in for the rest of the week, this afternoon l did 20x400 with 50 seconds to one minute in between, in 87- 82 avg 84. The original goal of the was 12, but l had a sore calf that was hurting after 4, so l backed off the intensity, actually running it at a pace l felt relaxed at. This is only because my calf was sore. After the last one l did 200 in 38 seconds. I didn't want to push to the max in terms of speed, but l made it up in volume. What is my 5k time off this? Ball park idea? Keep in mind l had a sore calf, tired, and was running relaxed.

My friend, why don’t you also share what your really hard Sunday workout was?

We need an 8x400 workout with 5 minutes recovery during the vernal equinox at estimated to predict your 5k.

18:10ish

That workout really doesn't seem indicative of a that great 5k time. I felt pretty relaxed running 17x400 at 73 and my 5k pr the season before was 18:37.

Ok, whatever. That is 20 x 400 with 50 seconds jog recovery. It tells you a lot, and you didn't do 17x 400 in 73 relaxed, if you run 91s in the race, unless you had a day recovery.

2 weeks before l did 31:55 in a 10k, l did 14x1/4 in 71-73 with 45 seconds recovery. Something is wrong with you.

There was a 2-3 month gap, and I'm better at shorter stuff and at Track in general compared to XC. I'm also unfortunately better at workouts than races most of the time. IDK
