A 1:29 half does equate to a 19:30...so like joey said you might wanna slow down a bit so your body can recover... :P good luck!Bennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322592627916680182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309666217976230745.post-85744299162409145202011-03-25T21:24:56.244-04:002011-03-25T21:24:56.244-04:00Thanks Joey.

It sounds stupid but when I run alone I get so excited that I can keep going at tempo pace so I keep going. I know it's not a great training strategy to get excited and bolt though! It truly is hard to correct but I need to slow down so I don't burn out...thanks for looking out as always ; )Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06261508163848946407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309666217976230745.post-67415937916390143572011-03-25T21:14:02.249-04:002011-03-25T21:14:02.249-04:00the strange thing is that based on your half race ...the strange thing is that based on your half race times, the 5k should be about 19:30. whats a mystery and amazing is that you can run at what would be your tempo pace for 4 -5 mile workouts, you are running everyday for 6 -10 and now a 17 miler?!?! When I was in 18:30 shape my regular runs were 7:30-7:45 an long runs were about 8. If I'd tried to run 7mp everyday I would have broken down in 2 weeks or less. You would benefit from learning to appreciate slowing down a few days a weekrunjoeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18144630884574152071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309666217976230745.post-57058955355164051792011-03-25T20:43:19.664-04:002011-03-25T20:43:19.664-04:00Thanks for the advice guys.

Benny, I haven't done a 5k since probably last fall. I'm kinda curious to see what I could run now!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06261508163848946407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309666217976230745.post-41861837150768115352011-03-25T17:42:15.017-04:002011-03-25T17:42:15.017-04:00You are running too fast if your 5k time right now...You are running too fast if your 5k time right now is a 19:28 your easy runs should be around 8:23 very easy around 8:55, a moderate run is anywhere around 7:55 and basically you are running tempo anything below 7:07.... Heck your running faster than me! :PBennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322592627916680182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309666217976230745.post-24804269377865594112011-03-25T16:33:50.714-04:002011-03-25T16:33:50.714-04:00Amazing.

But still, it's just hard to understand why some days it seems so easy. I would recommend re-considering doing another long run tomorrow. Unless of course you have a 50 miler coming up soon.runjoeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18144630884574152071noreply@blogger.com
