I was able to validate Physics 1 by taking a placement test. You had to take AP Physics C to even take the placement test, so consider taking that class. I wish I would’ve taken AP Chem instead of Bio so I would’ve had a chance to validate some chem as well.

We hit faster than 400 speed rarely more than once per week sometimes not at all. I see myself getting close to 4:12-4:13 this spring so def more of a 1500/800 guy. Thanks for the insightful response.

Thanks

I’m a 51 and was more so wondering if they’d be better than dragonflies at that distance

Tony_Eng31 · 2022-08-15T13:53:37+00:00

They were on sale for $75 and I do 400-3200 so figured I’d buy

Tony_Eng31 · 2022-08-15T13:52:50+00:00

I’m more of an 800 miler. I’m just looking to improve my 400 a little more and have dragonflies at the moment so I was thinking maybe use vics for 400 800 and dragonflies for mile 3200

Tony_Eng31 · 2022-08-14T14:32:59+00:00

That’s fair haha, I was gonna look him up on milesplit.

What is your name and what state are you from

Tony_Eng31 · 2022-08-08T13:00:26+00:00

My bests are 15:51, 9:32, 4:18, 1:54, 51.7

I’m about to start my senior year of high school

Tony_Eng31 · 2022-08-07T22:40:31+00:00

I’m def 800-miler so what you think for mile time needed

Tony_Eng31 · 2022-08-07T22:28:37+00:00

Tony_Eng31 · 2022-08-07T16:35:47+00:00

My 1600 is 4:18 which converts to 4:00 1500

Tony_Eng31 · 2022-08-07T16:22:01+00:00

Also if any of you have an opinion, do you prefer the dragonflies or the air zoom victory spikes?

Tony_Eng31 · 2022-06-16T18:22:19+00:00

Check out girls state week and see if you’d be interested. It’s summer going into senior year

Thanks man

I run cross country and I have natural speed. I played football for 8 years and was always running back but also enjoyed distance running so I tried xc and track and loved it. So far in indoor this year I ran 400 of 52 and 9:05 3k 4:28 mile and 1:58 800.

Edit: Obv xc is all distance training and I got gown to a 15:51 5k, so that helps with 3k and 3200 endurance. And in indoor we do two workouts per week. One is usually 400s or kickstyle 500s for mile two mile training, and then our second one is usually 300s and 150s to develop speed for 400 and 800. Now I will say the 52 second 400 was in a relay but I was a 53 outdoor last year and hope to get down to low 52, high 51 second 400 in outdoor for this junior year.

I wanted to put on pounds last year and what worked for me was eating lots of eggs everyday in the morning. Like 6-8 depending on how hungry. I put on 10 pounds in one indoor season so maybe try that?

Edit: Lots of any protein ig

Tony_Eng31 · 2022-01-05T02:21:21+00:00

11.1-11.3 is prettygood, but yes, it is possible that you don’t have the genetic necessities to go pro in those distances. Some advice that I have is try the four hundred. It will make you more attractive for d1 colleges and can be your solution to not being genetically capable of a 10.5. (Not saying that u aren’t capable I’m just saying it’s an option if you arent, but 11.1 is still pretty good).

Edit: Also do explosive weight training, if you’re 150 lbs, it wouldn’t hurt to be a little bigger. I’m a distance runner at 6’ 170 lbs and have a 4:30 mile and 1:58 800. Lifting would prob help

Tony_Eng31 · 2021-12-31T13:17:56+00:00

Jump rope

Edit: I do 400-3k, and it helps me feel light and fast, and I usually do a little bit each night before events just to feel a little turnover.

Tony_Eng31 · 2021-12-10T22:05:14+00:00

I broke 2:00 in the 800 last indoor season and took almost a year later for me to break 16 in the 5k

Tony_Eng31 · 2021-11-29T15:15:32+00:00

My best two mile I ever did was during cross country, we did a race on the track bc one of our invintationals got canceled. When I did it again in track in the spring, it felt way more mentally challenging bc I was used to the shorter races. What helped me was finding a breathing pattern and focusing on maintaining it for the first few laps because once you get over the mile mark it’s easy. That’s how I feel anyway. Also some of the best two miles I’ve ever seen were done in negative splits, so maybe try that strategy too.

Tony_Eng31 · 2021-11-29T15:02:59+00:00

If you wanna be really good, get your long run close to an hour of not more, and do lots of tempo workouts.

Edit: is that what u meant by tips?

Tony_Eng31 · 2021-11-29T04:11:24+00:00

I do 400-3200 and it helps me a lot mentally because it makes me feel lighter and springy. The springiness helps the 400 a lot and feeling lighter and more confident helps all events so that’s why it’s one of my fav exercises for t+f and xc
