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!

Impressive, Markgall! The way I've had my best 5K times is when I've gone out 'too fast' and just about managed to hang on. It's a recipe for disaster with longer distances, though.

Next up for me is Midland Masters 5000 on Sunday. Just had to have a couple of days off thanks to the Covid Vaccine (1st dose), which made me feel like I had a nasty hangover. I probably would have been ok to run today, but not until after lunch and it was a bit hot so I played safe and spent the afternoon doing errands and meal prep instead.

Thanks everyone, appreciate. 3000m this Friday has been moved to a different track as Glasgow still under partial lockdown. Think I may give my PB of 9.48 an attempt but the 3000 is a hell of an event if you get the pacing wrong 😂

So what does going out too fast and hanging on mean in terms of the numbers?

For 9.45 I’d be looking at laps of 78. A fine line with that, if I banged out a couple of 76s them I think I’d crumble whereas if I started dropping over 80 I’d find it tough to bring it back.

On my 5k I did first 2ks in 3.20k whereas I’d been aiming just under 3.30. Knew I needed 3.24 for 17 dead, 3rd and 4th fell to 3.23 and 3.24 then a 3.13 to finish off. The 4th was the real tough one, legs and head were all over the place. Adrenalin kicked in for the last one. Was slightly over distance so has an extra 8 seconds so just as well I’d hammered the last k.
