I did a 5k this morning in 20:25. My downfall is the cheap beer.

Don't think I could do it on a track, boredom would kick in
after giving it for a mile boredom don't come into it mate, just holding on for the next to 2 miles and being able to breath is the only thing I think of, I will give it a go on the road next year see what I can do, when I was in the army age 21 I could do mile and a half in 7.55 I wish I could still run like that now its 9 mins our so but I am 15 years older
Brilliant that DA19.12 for cock crow 5km. My Garmin said 3.17 miles so would have broke 19 minutes.
Some going that. Try a park run?after giving it for a mile boredom don't come into it mate, just holding on for the next to 2 miles and being able to breath is the only thing I think of, I will give it a go on the road next year see what I can do, when I was in the army age 21 I could do mile and a half in 7.55 I wish I could still run like that now its 9 mins our so but I am 15 years older

for me its about 30 seconds per mile slower than eyeballs out. Able to talk but not hold a full conversation.How do you fellas calculate your tempo run pace? I've read a few different things online and wondered what the consensus is on here.
Would you say it would be advisable for me to calculate it as 30 seconds per mile slower than my 5k pace? It's the only distance I've done so far where I've really attempted to do it as quickly as possible. The 10k's I've done so far have all been done at a pretty conservative pace, just distance building really. I'm just looking for a figure to enter into my Garmin. It's the best way I find to keep a constant pace.7.5 miles last night in 47 mins, 6:20 pace. For all i was pushing on i felt ok in the second half and recovered quick after so the long miles are helping ... Just got no speed now!
should be another run tomorrow then marathon on Sunday.

not sure about tempo runs of 5k. I tend not to do them below 7-8k. Maybe something like a 8k tempo run 45 seconds per mile slower than your full blooded 5k pace. See how you feel afterwards and adjust as you need.Would you say it would be advisable for me to calculate it as 30 seconds per mile slower than my 5k pace?

It's on a runners world magazine 'break 50.00' 10k plan that I'm following. Tomorrow is '2 miles easy, followed by 20 minutes tempo, then 1 mile easy'not sure about tempo runs of 5k.

Just read 'Ultramarathon Man' by Dean Karnazes. Was almost tempted to go for a run. More of an inspirational insight into the enduring human spirit, and a lesson in persistence, overcoming obstacles, pain and strife than a 'how to guide.'
I'll probably do some trail-running to keep fit this winter when I can't get out on my bike.
Wow. How do you train for that?This book started me off in running in 2008 as loved this idea of this mad underground movements of crazy ultra marathon runners.......5 Ultras so far this year including 2 x 113 miles (although the second one was a DNF 27 miles short of the end of the C2C cycle route due to injury)......Karnazes may not be the greatest ultra runner but his writing is truly inspirational
