#47	Poopie October 7 at 10:07am Justin Kopunek said: “I don't know what some of you are talking about that this is not a tempo run. 5 minute miles is about 30 seconds off the race pace of a 14 minute 5k. Tempo is about 25-30 seconds off your current 5k race pace, which is what these guys were doing. This can change here or there, but these PC guys were doing a tempo run. Guy quoted above, David McCarthy ran the last mile solo, not Keith. There is no Keith on the team, they were just discussing Keith Kelly during the last mile. Comparing it to Dathan's 10 miler is way off base, because Dathan's workout was in fact, not a tempo. They even called it a "race simulation tempo", which is a way of saying pretty much race pace, but the distance is a little shorter.” justin, are you seriously saying that a ten mile run at half marathon pace is not tempo training? if ritz can hold 4:30 pace for 1:00, then yeah that is tempo. i think it is much more impressive than some guys tempoing 5 miles at 4:55 pace. Justin, do you think ritz was running at V02 max?, come on. reply
#46	Jonathan Wyner October 3 at 7:32pm Strong group! BUt somebody get the darn mix right! reply

#43	Cale October 2 at 6:08pm whats the name of the soundtrack reply
#42	Guppy October 2 at 5:36pm This makes me miss my college team. reply
#41	Repeating October 2 at 1:12pm MikeyB said: “don't understand why my comment got deleted? All I said was American Kids should not waste their time applying. Doesn't look like they are wanted?” This was settled awhile ago check out the roster on friars.com Plus doesn't anybody remember the women's team mostly being from NY? "2) there are 16 men on the PC rosters, 10 of them are american." Plus just like every American kid who applies to colleges, kids from out of the country are trying to make the best choice they can with the resources available, and best develop their talents. So stop with these ignorant postings and realize people will always try to maximize their potential wherever they may be and wherever they are from. reply
#40	Pc Lover October 2 at 10:31am who cares if they have accents and are from foreign countries...they run fast, end of story...people are just pist because these foreign kids are faster than americans so they deem it unfair. Im pretty sure europe isnt complaining about how fast derek and fernandez are running....all in all its running, go out there and run no mattter who it is, here the same thing about iona, but there american runners(sheridan weller parks) do just as well as the foreign people...motto of the post, shut up and run. reply
#39	MikeyB October 2 at 9:08am don't understand why my comment got deleted? All I said was American Kids should not waste their time applying. Doesn't look like they are wanted? reply
#38	Myers - October 2 at 9:04am The boyz seem like they have it together. I heard a lot of the guys saying the right things. One key to staying healthy is by not stressing. Keep your self mentally sharp by staying on top of your school work, so your not stressing in November - when you'll want to be well rested, relaxed and focused. Keep doing what your doing. Moderation and consistency! - GO PC! PS - The US wants to be the center of running period! Having "world class" runners means, recruiting the best runners you can get - no matter where their from !- All I can say is - WELCOME TO PROVIDENCE! - reply
#37	More True Than... October 2 at 5:28am It is funny though. If this workout was with a team like Alabama, and 6 of the top 7 were Kenyan instead of being Irish/NZ/UK, I don't think there would be as many people defending it. I can completely understand why Coach Treacy would recruit from overseas- its a huge benefit to the team, why would you pass on the opportunity if you had it? reply
#36	Tmr October 1 at 9:12pm tom webb's so sexy, hes my hero reply
#35	Dude October 1 at 5:37pm any yanks in that team? reply
#34	Anonymous Coward October 1 at 5:21pm Heartless said: “Ryan was the only person in the whole entire video who did not have an accent... Lost some respect for this team...” 1) accents and foreign athletes have nothing to do with anything. if you lost respect your being ignorant. 2) there are 16 men on the PC rosters, 10 of them are american. reply
#33	Heartless October 1 at 4:42pm Ryan was the only person in the whole entire video who did not have an accent... Lost some respect for this team... reply
#32	Brenon McCartack October 1 at 3:21pm "You got to at least make an effort to look good on the line and then it doesn't matter what happens" --- haha classic. reply
#31	Declan McCarthy October 1 at 3:02pm Looking good for the Cross Country lads. Good luck at Notra Dame and the rest of the season. And David go easy on Lee - hair looking that good doesn't come easy - that is why he is running so well. reply
#30	Anonymous Coward October 1 at 1:38pm Hankinson is the mannnnnnnnnnnnnn. get that kid a tag. reply
#29	Ryan From Flotrack October 1 at 1:15pm cale said: “I saw david and hadyen's epic 3:57 mile in indoors. it was a great race to watch. good luck guys” yeah that was a great race. this is the one you're talking about M mile H01 (3:57) Get the Flash Player to see this player. reply
#28	Anonymous Coward October 1 at 12:19pm Why does Matt Terry get a tag? He's not good. period. reply
#27	Cale October 1 at 12:15pm I saw david and hadyen's epic 3:57 mile in indoors. it was a great race to watch. good luck guys reply
#26	Anthony Nuccio October 1 at 10:59am Great workout. Good luck PC boys! reply
#25	Trent E. October 1 at 10:41am Wow Matt Terry must be the man or something... reply
#24	Friar October 1 at 10:35am you are all kidding yourselves if you think this was a tempo effort! reply
#23	Jeff Knight October 1 at 10:03am What a beautiful course. Soo jealous. reply
#22	MA Runner October 1 at 10:01am You can tell it was tempo by just looking at how relaxed they were. They ran pretty quick and the 5miles might not have been much more than 45sec off some of those guys normal times for an 8k on a xc course but you have to factor in that, that was basically 5miles on a track considering how flat it was. If they ran that on an xc course it probably would have been 60sec slower if they ran the same effort..... im just kind of throwing 45sec and 60sec out there but the point isnt the exact times, just that they were on a really fast course so tempo effort might equate to a faster pace than normal reply
#21	Justin Kopunek October 1 at 9:40am Anonymous Coward said: “But yeah...if that were actually a tempo I'd have been impressed from the beginning. Really just a fast steady state run...besides Keith's last mile.” I don't know what some of you are talking about that this is not a tempo run. 5 minute miles is about 30 seconds off the race pace of a 14 minute 5k. Tempo is about 25-30 seconds off your current 5k race pace, which is what these guys were doing. This can change here or there, but these PC guys were doing a tempo run.

#17	Anonymous Coward October 1 at 4:25am They did it with a camera weight..keeps things steady aye? But yeah...if that were actually a tempo I'd have been impressed from the beginning. Really just a fast steady state run...besides Keith's last mile. reply
#16	James September 30 at 11:36pm ive never heard of any of these people reply
#15	Ggdggdd September 30 at 11:07pm look at their quad in the beginning... beast??? reply
#14	Martin September 30 at 11:00pm ryan, you should be giving them their splits, not asking them what their splits are. reply
#13	Mandri September 30 at 10:23pm I was worried McCathy was skipping when it was just him running reply
#12	Poopie September 30 at 10:07pm ya know. 4:56s are all well and good for 5-miles, but the tempo run I want to hear about that flotrack somehow missed is DATHAN RITZENHEIN'S unofficial american record 45:03 10-mile tempo he did the otherday. I understand flotrack can't be everywhere at once, but how about a phone call or something. jeez. reply
#11	Matthew Bigman September 30 at 9:09pm Great video. Hilarious finish, haha. keep it up! reply
#10	Ricardo Balmaseda September 30 at 8:53pm jmack said: “they make it look so easy! what beasts says hes relaxed at 5:05 pace” The best beast out there ;) reply

PC Tempo - Season 4, Episode #4

September 30, 2009

A computer crash held Workout Wednesday out through the afternoon but we bounced back to bring you what you've been waiting for!

We're back at Providence College, this time with the guys. The men's team is returning a strong squad from last year, but the difference is they're more experienced and HEALTHY! With only one senior in the top five, there is a lot to look forward to with the Friars. They back at it this Friday at Notre Dame where they will see some of the country's top squads. They have their sights set high and look to be on track.

More with the Providence men at friars.com.
