[[old] row4lyfe]

hi! i was wondering what the relationship is between a 1.5 hour piece and a 2k? what should i be able to pull on a 2k if i did a 1.5 hour piece at a 2:10 at about a 28-30?? thanks!

Its an excel sheet with various 2 km times and times for other distances relative to this.<br />I dont think its exact for everyone, but it is fairly accurate in my case. Should put you in or around the right region anyway.

My best 21097 was at 2k+18 and I've only done 3, so its probably a softer pb than my 2k, 2k+17.5 gets my vote.

My best HM is 2K+13. <br /><br />Should I conclude I can do my 2K faster? I don't think my legs and lungs would agree after doing a 7:17 last saturday. <br /><br />Tom

Some people are sprinters and can clock really quick times, whereas others are not so quick over short distances but do better at endurance. It may well be something to do with the ratio of slow to quick-twitch fibres in your muscles, my guess is your physique also plays a part as well as your age. To draw an analogy, track sprinters are large and muscular, marathon runners are smaller and leaner. <br /><br />In the on-line logbook my short distance times have me ranked at 68% (of 390 individual times) , whereas my half-hour time rating is 51% (of 716 individual times). Bascially I'm the tortise to other peoples hare, but over distance (theoretically) the difference should steadily reduce.<br /><br />What training plan do you do ? I'm trying the Pete Marston plan to see if I can chop some time off my 500 to 2K times and I haven't tested the times yet but I'm optimistic when I finish the cycle it'll show improvements.
