hi my PB is 19:20 but i need to run 17:59 by next week Saturday. if i do i will be recommended to an athletics club and i won't have to pay a club fee and will get free gear. My PB is like 2 months old now and since then i have increased my mileage peaking at 50 miles per week. i'm still in the midst of building mileage so that could be another obstacle. Should i taper this week? is it impossible for me? should i just go out at 5:45 pace and try to hang on for as long as i can?

also i'm on the young side so i'm improving a bit faster.

re: need a miracle

If you just started running recently then it’s possible you’ve gained a lot of fitness in the past 2 months. If you’re really trying to run a great race and this is it then might as well taper for it

Assuming course is flat then go out in 5:45-5:50 first mile

How does 5:45 pace feel right now? Have you done any workouts at it? If you feel good at that pace for standard interval workouts for example then I bet you have a shot at a big PR

If you’ve just been base building then the odds may be lower compared to if you’re been doing quality workouts

A whole pint of beetroot juice is too much. It'll either leave you sitting on the crapper all day, give you stomach ache, or at best, uncomfortably slosh around your stomach during the race.

Just a shot, maybe two is all you need.

The rest will also help

Disregard everything but faith based answers. You need a miracle, not suplements

That's a good thing, he needs to cut as much weight as possible.

Nah. Probably a high school girl in the UK. Hints were: would get free gear, PB, athletics club.
