Nice, but confusing course. Lots of loops. 22:24.

Nice time. Do you ever use age grading? I bet your age graded time is below 18 minutes.

Nice. Think how fast you would be on a straighter non confusing course. :ok:

Thanks guys. I check age grading stuff, but I'm really just comparing old me to other me as I'm pretty sure you guys do too. I've been using these weekly things as speed work and it seems like I'm pretty much solidly in this time frame. I don't think I run enough to get a lot faster yet. I'm only running every other day and that only 5.5-6 miles and on the off days biking about 10 on a mountain bike on trails. I'm paranoid about overtraining these days because I don't want to go back to being hurt, like the last few years, so even in the races, I'm starting out easy and trying to gradually push it harder. The 1st mile was 6:45 so that means I'm slowing a lot but I don't realize it.Got another 5k scheduled next Saturday, and we'll see what happens. I'd like to get under 22 and I feel like I can if I just manage it right.
