My watch is such a hater. (sopuli.xyz)

I have been working on my 5k time, and today I ran at near race intensity to see where i was at. My watch has been estimating my 5k time to be around 31 minutes. Well today I ran it under 28. I go see what it had to say about this, and it drops its estimation to 30:30. "Ok bruh, I see what you're about now.", I say to it.

Anyways I am interpreting this as a reminder that my watch doesn't replace a real coach, and I need to put more thought into my training.

My best 5k was 51 minutes on trail, my watch says I can run a 5k in about 25 minutes. It's not happening, the trails weren't gnarly enough to double my pace, I'm just slow.
