Afty's training journal (sub 20 5k) (Read 470 times)

    After 8 months, an update.  I never did get my sub 20 last summer.  After my last post, I ran 3 more 5ks, never finishing faster than 21:02 in any of them.  I did however run a half marathon PR in October at 1:37:27 and a 4-mile PR in November at 27:18. 

     

    In December I started training for a spring marathon, which is now only 2 weeks away.  This past Thursday I ran a 20:36 5k the day after a 7.5-mile tempo run and 4 days after a 20 miler.  Now I'm wondering what I could do on fresh legs.

      Hold your curiosity until after the marathon, but you'll kill 20 min with a few weeks 5K training after your recovery week.
