I went out way to fast today and at the 0.40 mile mark, I am running 6:40 mile (best mile is 6:51/mile).  I then slowed down and my mile 1 split was 7:33/mile.  They get worse from there with an 8:11 and then an 8:09 mile.  Simply went out too fast today. 

Next week is Christopher Martin’s 5K.  Strategy: Go for 7:26/mile to 7:33/mile at Christopher Martin’s and keep the pace steady throughout the distance.   See if you can redeem yourself!

Marc did this race with me.  He got a great 7:25/mile pace.

And Bob, workmate, ran this race with me as well (not a blogger and new to running for the most part I think).  He ran it at 7:52/mile pace.  His running form seems pretty smooth and consistent throughout, machine like – similar to Marc.  But Bob kind of looks like a tank running along.  Large (muscular), plodding away, methodical.

Hi PRE! Good seeing you at this race!

A bit off your pace, but still an OK time.

Based on your recent 5 miler in Wallingford, you might be able to get 23:33 at a 7:33 pace (RunForFitness.org), very much in keeping with your goal for next week.

As of yesterday, you are now an expert on going out too fast so you will know how much to slow down a bit.

As long as it does not rain, you may get a new PR; your training has been good so go for it!

The 5K is a tough distance to pace yourself and I always end up blowing my wad too quick. Keep to your strategy and I bet you will hit your goal next week.

That's what I call a complete race report. Lots of figures and stats!

I felt a little wet behind the ears after seeing your "Running Accomplishments". It looks like you really enjoy that aspect of running :-)
