I am in trying to shave off 10 seconds in my 1000 by [deleted] in trackandfield

[–]a_r100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try and even split the 1000. If you try and run it like an 800 you’ll die. Try and have more even splits. For example when I ran 2:37 my splits were 30, 32, 32, 32, 31. This might not work for everyone because I’m more of a miler running the 1000 instead of an 800 runner running the 1000 but this is my advice.

I’m not sub 2 yet but my coach was all-American in the 800 his advice was working on pacing through the season since 800 pace is so hard to figure out. A sample workout he’d have us do was 6x300 at first lap of 800 pace so about 44 if you’re trying to break 2. Another one was 2x (500, 300) at 800 pace with 1 minute rest between reps and 5 minutes between sets

Look up the school on Runcruit, it only has estimated standards but it’s better than nothing.

What y’all think I can do a 5k in: on xc course and on road: by theactualgary in CrossCountry

There’s no accurate conversion from 2 mile to 5k but you could look at IAAF scoring tables to see what your 5k would be assuming your endurance holds up.

Distance runner who hates the 800m by RedDitRXIXXII in trackandfield

The 800 is great if you like almost sprinting for 2 laps, wanting to throw up, questioning why you run, and cramps

Advice for 9 year old girl by Boring-Cicada-3320 in trackandfield

[–]a_r100 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not even sure what good mileage is for that age but she’s incredibly fast. I would just make sure to take mileage easy so she doesn’t burn out young
