When doing the standard 10x400 workouts @ mile pace, 5x800 @ 2 mile pace etc. I am running these pretty hard but the pace is way off of what I can race in a mile or 2 mile. And it feels like I'm running at least 90%! Opposite of most people who practice way better than they race, I seem to race a lot better than I practice! What gives?
Well,isn't that the way it is supposed to be?
We train and build up to race and perhaps you have managed to balance your training regime just right for you,if so well done.
But I am not so sure of the truth of your statement "most people who practice way better than they race".I think that most serious runners perform better in a race situation,their differential may just not be as big as yours.
