I decided to run a very short 2K pacing run this morning in an effort to try and learn how fast a 5:15 / km pace feels like. Not surprisingly I began the run with too fast a pace at nearly 4:15 per kilometer. I had to back off substantially to get down to my goal 5:15 /km pace.
I completed the first kilometer in 5:04 and the second in 4:58. I definitely have an issue with increased adrenaline at the start of my races and this practice session is a confirmation of this problem. The 5:00 / km pace felt good, i.e., it felt like a sustainable pace. The question lies in how long can I sustain this pace.
