Hi all,
I was hoping for some advice on an upcoming race. It is a "Double in a day". A 10km race at 8:00 in the morning followed by a 5km race at 9:30 am. It is the 1st of its kind in my neck of the woods. Live in Eastern Canada.
I am trying to figure out strategy and pacing. Should I:
1) run all out in the 10km race and just see what is left on the tank after a break for the 5 km race
2) run conservative in both races
3) run conservative in 10km and all out in 5km
A little about me.... I usually run longer distance races but have been really digging shorter races lately and it works better for my family life.
My best times are:
5km: 21:30
10km: 46:35
Half marathon: 1:43
Full marathon: 3:36
My thought is to aim for a 48:00 in the 10km and then aim for 22:30 or 23:00 in 5km.
Anyone run these type of races? What was your experience?
Thanks
