Parrto Predictor update

Last few weeks, the parrot predictor has been all over the place due to our speed workouts.
Mar 09 2:54:40
Mar 16 3:10:15
Mar 23
Mar 30 3:02:58
Apr 06 3:06:06
Apr 13 3:10:15

The missing week I only ran 21 miles due to knee issue, so it didn't have minimum mileage to figure things out. I'm feeling good, so I this this parrot is out of whack, especially since I just ran 17 miles at goal pace, and he still only gave me a 3:10.

One things for sure, a 3:06 or a 3:10 in Boston will be absolutely be considered a failure. (more on race plan and race goals later on next week)
No cracker for you this week, Polly.

My predictor was never within half an hour and usually more than an hour slower than what I ran in Austin. Though I don't do the kind of workouts that the parrot rewards you for.

Even the week I ran 3:04 and entered that data, the parrot said I'd run 3:09:54.
