@running_devil: Hybrid bro lost his race at the start line. ๐ญ๐ฅ A few days ago I raced a local 5K. It was almost 30ยฐC and I was sitting in 2nd place after lap one.Then a guy tried to blast past me around the turnaround. For about 10 seconds it looked impressive. One corner later he was completely cooked. ๐ And honestly, thatโs how a lot of runners ruin their PBs. They start too fast. They react to every move. They race other people instead of racing their own plan. The funny thing is: Nobody gives out medals for the fastest first kilometer. What matters is how fast you get to the finish line. So I stuck to my pace, stayed patient and kept working. Result: ๐ฅ 2nd place ๐โโ๏ธ 17:55 for 5K ๐ฅ My favorite 5K workouts: ๐ 10 ร 400m fast (60 sec jog) ๐ 6 ร 800m at 5K pace ๐ 5 ร 1 km (90 sec jog) ๐ 400-800-1200-800-400 pyramid ๐ 20 min tempo run slightly below race pace The best race strategy is usually the boring one: Stay controlled early. Start racing when everyone else starts suffering. ๐ Whatโs your current 5K PB?
