well, i felt great in that first mile.. then i saw my mile time, which was really fast.. then i started thinking about mile 3 and just started slowing down. The trick for me right now is to NOT think about mile 3.. just think about mile 1 & 2.. once I start thinking about mile 3 (especially during mile 1) my body starts holding back.. it's weird I know but.. seems to be the case.
so my goal for thursday is to only think about 2 miles.. i'm going to (hopefully) literally sprint the last 400m of the 2 miles.. then coast out a third mile, idgaf. But it's key for me to focus on 2 miles because these dudes are crazy fast (5:0x-5:1x pace for 5k).. so if I hang with them through 2 miles i'd be extremely happy.. that'd mean i could coast a third mile and still be under 18 minutes for the 5k.
if i still have gas after 2 miles i'll obviously use it but, trying to not even think about the third mile.. need to trick myself into thinking it's a 2 mile race, that'll give me the best chance to make top 3. That's my only chance actually... there's no other way to make top 3, than to hang with these guys for at least 2 miles.
