I have a 5k race tomorrow and one of the kids is sick & the wife will be running with the other. So I get to run full speed. I'm also training for a 1/2 marathon. I think I'm going to use it as an interval training session
- run really fast for 3 minutes
- slow down for 3 minutes
- repeat
Maybe 25.5 minutes?
My usual race strategy is
- use fast looking people as pacers
- negative splits
- try to pass the person in front of me
