the DATA
  • My Mile PR is 6:05, same race but in 2012. Last year I run it in 6:24 (and I was going at maybe 80% out).
  • When I run Mile Repeats, i usually run them at 6:45 or 6:50 in soft dirt.
  • Last Races
    • August 2016, Percy Sutton 5K, 21:18, 6:52 pace. Last Full Mile was at 6:20 (but it was downhill)
    • June 2016, Achilles Hope & Possibility (4M), 28:43, 7:11 pace

    • March 2016 United Airlines NYC Half, 1:36:03, 7:20 pace
My guessI think a PR could be happening if I am feeling good. I’ll try to get to a low 6 as much as I can… but really, who knows?
GO ON! Place your bets below!!! (I will probably not look until after, and no need to be nice!)
