Our FINAL session of speedwork is called ‘Predict Your Pace & Win The Race’. It’s pretty straightforward. You’re running 12 laps (3 miles approx) on the track. Whether you tackle this one slow, fast, or somewhere in between, you’ve got a chance to win!

To be clear, this is not a ‘competition’ that will necessarily be won by the swiftest runner. This competition will be won by the runner who knows their pace/level of effort best.

At the beginning of the ‘race’, all interested parties will be asked to ‘predict’ how long they think it will take them to complete 12 laps. This pace could be your comfortable/conversational pace, it could be your target race pace, maybe it’s your tempo pace, or maybe it’s your personal best pace. Whatever pace you opt to run, make sure it aligns with your ‘prediction’.

There’s one minor ‘wrinkle’ to consider when tackling this competition. Anyone participating in this competition will NOT be permitted to use their watch, phone, device, etc during the run! You’ll need to run according to ‘feel’. Only I will have official finish times for all runners.

Just like in the Olympics, we’ll have gold, silver, and bronze medalists with prizes for each runner who make it onto the podium! The three runners who ‘predict’ their finish time with the most accuracy will ascend the podium and there are prizes up for grabs!
