Subject: Help me understand run pacingHi everyone, I'm currently using one of the BT training plans and yesterday's workout was the following: 80 minutes tempo wu: 25minutes, RPE 3 main: 8 x (3t, 2r ) 3t at RPE 7-8, 2r at RPE 2 cd: 15 RPE 2-3 I think I understand how this should be done but I'm just wondering if I am pacing things right (more or less ). So I mapped out the distances I covered for the warmup/cooldown and the main set and came up with the following. For the warmup and cooldown combined, my pace was 5:50/km For the main set - both the tempo and rest section combined - my pace was 5:16/km Maybe there isn't enough information to answer this but I'm wondering if I'm in the right ballpark as far as differences between my RPE3 pace and a tempo pace. I guess what I'm trying to figure out is, am I going too easy or hard for RPE3 and ditto for RPE 7-8. If it helps for a reference, my fastest 10k is 49:35 Thanks for any advice Arend |
