Split by Quarters II: Push, Aggressive Push then All-out
Split the -mi into quarters. Start with a push pace, then bump it up by 0.3 - 0.5 every mile. In the last mile, keep pushing by pumping it up every couple of seconds if you feel good. In the last mile, wrap up the benchmark with an all-out. 🧠 This strategy is not as precise as other strategies - YMMV depend on how on you feel on the day of the benchmark.
Moreover, this strategy may not be best fit for Power Walkers, as it’s a bit complex. 🙏
Flow
In the last mile, go progressive push at mph on average. Max out your all-out at mph in the last mile 🔥
💡 Your progressive push will be ~long, and your all-out will be ~long.
