Quick but important vDot question for upcoming RacePrep phase
So my Outseason final 10K on Sunday actually yielded a *lower* vDot than my most recent OS 5K Run test from 6 weeks ago, which itself was slightly lower than the 5K test 6 weeks before that. Fatigue may have been an issue during the later OS. My question is, since I run with live pace via a Garmin , which set of data do I use in the Data Tool to calculate ranges going forward in the 12 week Race Prep phase coming up? My most recent 5K? 10K? Best 5K? Best half-mary? Let Chris G decide? 
Thanks so much guys. Love this freaking team, always there right when you need them most.

Here's what I do: my best 5K VDOT from the recent OS for my training runs; my most recent half-mary VDOT for my race pace guidance. I want to push my work, and be conservative in my race. The combination makes the day much easier.
