I ran the Irish Festival 5K today in North Haven.  Below are the Warm-Up splits and below that the 5K splits.  Official Results have the 5K done in 24:33 @ 7:55/mile. My splits were 7:49, 7:48, 7:58 (and 7:17 for the last 0.12 miles).  I was curious what kind of a result I could put together without any formal training/speedwork for the distance - just been putting in Easy and Marathon Pace miles this month and the two months prior had minimal mileage. 

Given that this result is 35 seconds off my best 5K time of 23:58, I'm good with that.  I wasn't expecting to set a record today.  I placed 56th out of 268.

Hi Pat,

You braved the heat today and ran a pretty good 5K. On a cooler day, you would have been pretty close to a PR.

Your relative position overall (56/258) is like 20%, which is the right range based on your past performances, so you are where you should be.

The long, slow endurance building runs are giving you a good base for the cooler months after Labor Day, so the aim is to stay injury free over the summer. The heat adds about 15-20 seconds to a mile pace so I personally don't worry about my times over the summer.

Keep up the good work!
