    I hate when Dave and Carson disagree. It leaves me lost as to what to do! ;)

    Dave does more 5 K's, I would likely stick with his advice. Carson is more of a long distance expert, but Dave is too. I don't know!

    I, too, have a 5K coming up on Sunday. Fast, flat out and back. I've not done much specific training for running that pace, so we'll see what happens.

    I'm also looking forward to seeing how you will do!


    This will be my 4th 5K race:

    June 2013: 29:42
    August 2013: 27:45
    March 2014: 23:00

    At this point I'll be happy with any gain I can make... PRing by 4:45 minutes won't happen anymore haha

    Ha! We don't disagree. I was thinking along the same lines as Dave. I think 7:00 to 7:05 for the first mile would be taking it easy. I see her running something like 7:05, 7:01, 6:57, :33.

    :)

    That sounds pretty good to me. So we do agree, we just have different ways of saying it!

    Probably just a difference in internal definition of taking it easy. :smile:
