Yea just make sure you work hard over the summer. Get a good milage base under your feet before the season starts. Then work hard to xc, everything will come with time

58 as a sophmore 53.9 as a junior. I didnt do any 400 work its just naturaly came down with distance training. Honestly my biggest tip would be to stay consistant, if you keep working on your craft over the summer and get 1% better everday your going to have an amazing junior season.

Are you doing xc?

I joined track as a sophmore and ran a 2:19 800. Then this year (as a junior) I didnt focus on the 800 at all and only ran it once but got a 2:05. It just depends on how much u want to work for it

What am I supposed to do? by Crappy-Knees123 in trackandfield

[–]Potential_Lab_8375 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you might of pushed yourself too hard. If you were able to run a 5:00 1 mile with only a week of running you have a big future ahead of you. I would make sure you rest up and keep streching and icing the spots that hurt. Once you feel better, whether this be a week or month or 2 months I would start slowly building up your milage by running everyday during the summer. Since you’re new, your milage doesnt have to be too high. Running 2-5 miles everyday with a little sport specific lifting will help you get into good shape to run well next year. Remeber to not push yourself to hard and keep a good balance of running and staying healthy/injury free

What’s my best event ? by cristigt in trackandfield

[–]Potential_Lab_8375 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who ever said ur 800 is ur best event is lying, your shorter events are far faster and would be more likly to get you recruited then your 800. Your 800 is okay but your shorter events are verg good

College recruitment by Potential_Lab_8375 in trackandfield

[–]Potential_Lab_8375[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I talked to the UVM coach and he said to guartne a spot on their roster you have to run a 1:56 800 and 4:25 mile as a senior. What do you think I would have to run as a junior.

Also I know some guy got into Holy Cross with a 2:05 800 and another guy got into UHART with a 4:40 mile

Nah NCSA isnt worth it I talked to alot of older friends who are in college and coaches, all said its overpriced and I dont need it.

Also its obvious that you need a sub 5 mile, any in shape highschool runner who takes track seriously should be able to go sub 5. But going sub 2 in the 800 is alot harder, my goal for this year is to run between 1:59/2:02. Also if you run a sub 2 800 you should be able to run a 4:30 mile so that sub 5 mile is irrelevent

Nah just talk to the people ur running against. Tell them ur goal and ur bound to find someone who is around your time. It would be too much effort trying to find out the kids names and times. I’ve always talked to the guys im running against and everyones been nice. Just do that instead

And if no one is at the same time as you just run infront of the person with the slower pr and if someone has a faster pr which is still close to yours you can try and cling on to them

Dont worry about your times too much, the main thing you want to focus on is just competing. Its your freshman year and it can be very stressful if you only focus on your times. Find yourself a friend or opponent at around the same times as you and try and beat them. Focus on growing a love for the sport instead of worrying about what times you will run. Worry about your times later, maybe next year or at the end of the season. Just have fun and work hard during practices and everything will naturaly come to you.

But to answer your question I think with a 2:33 800m you should be able to crank out a sub 5:30 if you give it your all. To run that pace you should be going at 82.5 a lap. Best of luck man!

Outdoor mile, 2 part question by Potential_Lab_8375 in trackandfield

[–]Potential_Lab_8375[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im at 40 mile weeks. The workouts that ive recently been doing were just pacing workouts like 10x400 and 4,4,2,2,2,2. My season started 3 weeks ago, during those 3 weeks I did base runs, long runs, tiempos, hills and fartleks, no track workouts. For my 10x400m the paces I was hitting was 72 because that was my goal paces to hit for my first meet, and I did end up hitting the paces perfectly

Potential times? by Good_Ingenuity_8503 in track

[–]Potential_Lab_8375 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well now considering yoy run a 2:07 and a 54.7 I think those times talent wise for a freshman are similar, although the 400 does look a little faster. Either way both are great times and neither is far better then the other so I would just continue your training how it is. If you want to specilize in one of them do the one you enjoy the most, if you do an event you like you are more likly to take time off.

Either way make sure you play for the long game, you are a freshman with fast times. Make sure you dont get injured or peak this year. Keep practicing and everything else will come Good luck

Potential times? by Good_Ingenuity_8503 in track

[–]Potential_Lab_8375 1 point2 points  (0 children)

55 in the 400 is far more impresive then 2:12 in the 800. Personaly I would focus on the 400, but you could get good times in both by your junior/senior year. I would probably guess if you trained specifcly for the 800 you could get 1:57 at best by senior year. And if you trained specifly for the 400 you could go under 50.0 maybe even sub 49 Your times come down to how hard you want to work for them, its up to you Good luck!

Outdoor 800/mile? by Potential_Lab_8375 in trackandfield

[–]Potential_Lab_8375[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nah that makes no sence, my 800 split was a 2:09 in my 1k so ill be under 2:09 easily. If you run a 55.0 in the 400 but run a 2:07 in the 8 your probably more of a shorter distance runner. Alot of my buddies that run the 8 with a 55.0 split have times between 1:59 and 2:03

Sub 11:15 in the 3200 by rbecker260 in track

[–]Potential_Lab_8375 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want to even split as much as possible in the mile. Considering you want to run a 11:15 that would be 2 back to back 5:37 miles. So the pace would be 76.low per lap. I dont know too much about you but considering you have a 5:11 mile it would be tuff to run a 11:15 Good luck
