haven't bumped this thread in a while..

first ever sub3 1km without watch feedback. I also haven't hit a sub5 mile without a watch either, so that'll be PR worthy at some point.

but sub3 k's mean more to me than sub5 miles. To put it in proper perspective, as of tonight - this year i've done:

4 x mile @ sub5
2 x 1km @ sub3

sub3 1km's are harder for me than sub5 miles, because sub3 1k is <= 4:49 min/mi pace.

so tonight, without watch feedback, I maintained 12.55 mph.. that has me pretty excited.

when I can do that at 13mph... skrrrt.

- no watch 1km @ 2:58 (4:47mm/12.55mph) ::: first ever sub3 1k without watch feedback AND 3rd ever sub3 1k
- 800m was 2:22 (4:44mm?), last 200 was 36 (4:48mm?)

- first ever grass sub5 mile! 4:58.9
- mod speed (grass, spikes, feel great) ->
- ran it strategic: mostly 5:0x through 0.8 mi, then kicked to drop it sub5 // last 1km = 3:05 (4:55 min/mi)

 

evening:
- grass mile PR: 4:56 (no kick)
- 2 x sub5 mile in one day
- 3 x days in a row sub3 1km or sub5 mile
