I run a comfortable 6:30 – 7:00 per km pace. I vary between it, sometimes going lower, sometimes higher (depending on where I am in the run), but generally I’m there in that bracket.
The only way it will improve is if each day I show up (giving space for rest days) and work each day to shave off a second here, a second there.
The goal is to get below 6 mins consistently, and at first I thought that was a goal that could be done in 2 – 3 months, but I was properly corrected – by my legs.
Growth, change, pace – these things don’t change over days, weeks, and possibly even months, but more realistically by years in trying to do the right thing over and over again and showing up consistently to make that change happen.
That is how you eventually hit your pace.
