Week 8 of 5K until $ETH hits $5K

The end of my week is starting to look pretty busy, so I wanted to get this out of the way early. 

Shaved more than a minute off of Saturday’s time! 🏃🏻💨

I ran earlier in the week, but was feeling pretty good this morning and decided to do a bonus run. Sub-23 minutes next week. I can feel it.

why you use miles for gods sake

talking goals with that in between is hard mode

Because we’re American and that’s how we’re coded. 

I have no problem using either. I’ve become pretty good at converting quickly as I race internationally often. Metric is clearly a superior system though. A good benchmark is a 4 min per K pace = about 6:26 per mile pace

are you training during the week with intervals or only running these 5ks on Saturdays?

im just following the training program of my coach but i can say that doing sprints has been a game changer for me. 

thursday for example was 

2km warmup on z2

4 x 2km at 4:30 min per km + 2 min slow slow z2 in between each sprint

2km slowdown on z2 (which is about 6:30 min per km for me at this point)

he spoke to me about the importance of these for teaching your heart about things that I don’t remember yet

just saying. you may get to sub 20 sooner than you think 👀

Until this week, I usually do other forms of cardio during the week (e.g., stairs, bike, elliptical), but I might start running more since my endurance is getting better.
