Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Could anyone help me with pacing. Not sure what time to aim for in my 3000m race on Wednesday.

If I can my 1500m which i did on tired legs the day after a 5km pb i would have ran 72secs for each 400m for a 4.30.

What sort of pace should I be able to run. Worked out that steady pacing at:
75 would be 9.22.50
77 would be 9.37.50
78 would be 9.45.00
79 would be 9.52.50

Alan,

Why haven't you purchased a GARMIN training watch yet? Some who is serious about improving as you seem to be should have would of those devices for improving. No excuse....get one :)
