Notes

tracksmith 5 dollar 5k #3

best one yet! ben & daisy came out to watch and kyle paced me and while goal was to be at or under 19:30 was just 5 seconds off. I'll take it. first mile was a bit slow so I could definitely take those seconds off there. sunset was super cool while running and weather was unreal. feel good that i was able to run basically what I ran at the end of cross country last year at wooster (which I was never able to match during track) after just a summer of training, with not that many workouts. excited to keep training and hopefully get this down to 19:15-19:20 soon.

this series was one of my favorite parts of the summer. great to have a racing community even after college and hoping to start going to some more tracksmith workouts/long runs if it works out.

This was an excellent race and a great result! As we talked about, I think it'd be fun to do other sorts of races. Get some good races under your belt at different distances. Then come back to the track 5k later off a fresh bank of fitness and varied racing experiences.

You don't have to run every race as an all-out effort either.
