adarq if you run 1:05 half then you qualify for the next olympic trials. just sayin.

Crazy that that is considered a pedestrian standard for some... sub 5 minutes miles for 13 in a row... im not even confident I can break 6 for a mile.
yet another illustration of just how far out there world-class athletes are. 500-600 men and women qualify for the olympic marathon trials in the US but only like 10 have any chance of actually qualifying. the rest are extremely good runners who are nevertheless totally uncompetitive with the top people.
Bro, Rich Froning could beat them all cuz #fittestever #Glassmanisfatanddoespaleo
But seriously I've ran High 5s for just 1 mile before and I wanted to lay down and call the medics, just dig my grave right next to me I was done, so that's just insane to keep up sub 5 for 13.
, second was 6:24, third was 6:25 (couldn't push the second half mile) .. PR'd 5k (19:18) but, after that 2.5 I stopped/paused watch 3 times while I stopped, trying to get the cramp to subside.. so doesn't really count.adarq if you run 1:05 half then you qualify for the next olympic trials. just sayin.

That means i'd have to bring my 7:15 min/mi pace for 13 miles down to 4:57 min/mi.
