Not only should you have bragging rights and be impressed with yourself for hitting the 75s, but also feel a real sense of accomplishment of setting the perfect pace for all of the runners. That was your assignment, and you did it perfectly. Awesome!

pacing seems like the ideal way to ease back into racing! all the nerves + environment of a race without the pressure.

Awesome pacing efforts for the steeple and 5k. You nailed the paces and I am sure all the competitors (and race organizers) appreciated that. Good that it helped you feel good about upcoming racing, too. So great to see you coming back strong from recovery. Best of luck with continuing training and getting back into racing.

Stoked for you too! Love the true smile you get when you talk about it. Haters will hate because they can’t string 75s together. Keep them hating while you keep on keeping! Still can’t wait for you to crush the trail running scene!!!!!!!

You were an amazing pacer in both races! It was fun to watch the meet! Do you say anything to the field before you pull off? Looks like you had a fun adventure and good job navigating public transportation! It took us a good day to figure it out when there for the marathon!

How'd you like the run along the West Side HWY? NYC has a ton of good spots for running but it takes a little while to find them -- like Van Cortland Park in the Bronx or Prospect Park in Brooklyn. We also have a ton of tracks. Staten Island is loaded with natural areas, maybe better than Seattle ;) NYC is not just Manhattan :) Congrats on getting back on the track and good luck in the upcoming 5000!

Based on what I've seen, I expected you to be the best pacer ever if you chose to pace, and you came through in fine fashion. Well done! And great vlog too. It was a nice look at what the trip and the experience were like, and very cool seeing you on the track in full race kit again.

Good job allie ✌ My question is that i want to run below 5 min mile Should i train at threshhold pace and do threshhold interval workout your answers will help me ( i dont have coach )

@allie_ostrander

2 жыл бұрын

I do think that some threshold training is beneficial for the mile. You probably don't need to do anything super sustained. Maybe start out with 3x5min with 90sec rest and work up to running 15-20min straight. For me, threshold pace is roughly 1 minute slower than my mile pace, but I like to go off feel. It should feel comfortably hard, and the effort should stay about the same, not get exponentially harder throughout. I hope that helps, good luck!

No, you are just told a pace and then given splits during the race!

Pity you couldn’t have asked them to delay the start so you could do you procrastination thing😂it’s hard to see in your workout vids how fast you are going but you sure were flying in the races. Is it within the rules for you to have kept banging out the 75s and finished the race (in first place!)
