3K
Does anyone here ever have short races? Well I have a 3K coming on Tuesday and I really, reaaly wanna get sub11 but I don't know how to race a 3K. So help please. Do I go out hard and hang on or go out at 6 pace and build to 5.30?

Re: 3K
Run it like a 2 miler but go out a bit harder and start your kick sooner.

Re: 3K
Remember that a 3k is less than 2 miles, 6:00 to 5:30 pace at a 5:45 avergae may be too slow unless the course is hilly.

Re: 3K
6 pace makes a 11.10.
could i do better than 6 pace in a 3k if my pr is a 6.12 pace in a 5K?

Re: 3K
I had a 3k race this year. But yeah I only have to race that distance once a year but I would go out harder and try to keep a faster pace than normal since it's shorter.

Re: 3K
I have to do a 4K race for AAU Cross Crountry. But if I were you I would walk the course and choose landmarks to help you with when to kick or identify the last tenth. That's what I usually do when I have an odd distance like 3K or 4K.

considering the terrain difference, his time might be very close to that of a track 2 mile, and if the
times are the same then the intensity and the timing are all the same
