During the absence of our rockstar erstwhile sprinter turned marathoner, this corner will discuss miscalaneous running related items.
Yesterday went to the track to do a 5k time trial. Was planning to hit 24 min. After 4 rounds time was 7 min 60s. So decided to do reps. Next after 300m walk recovery, did 1200m in 5m 39 sec. Bit faster.
Saw a young 13 yr girl being trained by her coach under the watchful dyes of her father. She was doing 100m reps. A couple of 18 yr old boys ran one of the reps. An excellent sprinter Aldo ran, starting from 110m mark.
By the time I approaachrd them, the girl had finished her session. So the sprinter graciously agreed to “race” me, with both of us starting at 100m mark. The guy’s start was so explosive. Never seen anything like that in the lane next to me. I just gave up. That’s how intimidating it felt.
The guy is 23 yrs, and is training for 200m Olympics. Will be following his career.
Was aggressive mood today. Wanted to do 25 min 5k. After 4 rounds at exactly 8 min, reaalized couldn't continue for 8.5 more rounds at this pace. So decided to make today's workiut a Mike repatriate with 400m walk in betwen.
2nd mile 7m 38.72 sec
3rd mile 7m 57 sec.
I will take that. More importantly, the confidence is back.

As a beginner I have a lot of questions though. Should I just open another thread instead of derailing this one?
