In adjusting times for tempo ranges-do you 1)take FAT performances or hand timed performances to determine paces from?
I do typically allow the athlete’s paces to pass or not the look test but since I don’t see many of the tempo sessions, they want actual paces to run at.
2)I know it will vary from location to the next but approximately what kind of adjustment should be made to run on a grass field? I know you have mentioned long grass, short grass etc. before as just one thing to consider.
I have a field that has fairly short grass and wonder about the degree of adjustment to make from track pr’s.
Probably the best way to monitor is to tell them they must finish at the pace they start with. They’ll know if they’re going too fast after the first session.
