    Why Care about Pace?

    DateSunday, April 1, 2012 at 9:53PM

    We've received a few questions recently related to pacing. What's it all about and why is it important? Let Bugs Bunny give you a little lesson in pacing - you've heard of the tortiose and the hare, right? Well no one wants to give out half way through a run. Check out these options for determining your proper pace:

    Complete the below intervals -  throw out your fastest and slowest and average the other times.  This will provide a close estimate to that’s distance’s pace, try not to vary by more than 20 seconds.  

    5k:  8 x 800 w/ 1:00 rest between

    10k: 10 x 1K (2-1/2 laps) w/ 1:00-1:30 rest between  

    Half marathon: 7-8 x 2k w/ 1:30-2:00 rest between 

    Marathon: 5 x 2 mile repeats w/ 1:30-2:00 rest between

    BTB Endurance: Week of April 1
