Since she hasn't done anything to warrant scholarship consideration, a 6 week build up for this race was our best option. After this race, she will have a 2 week break and then back into base work. Doing a normal winter and waiting until spring to try and run fast would have meant that she'd have to end up walking on some place because most schools will be finished recruiting for this class by then.
If you think she can only run 5:20 based on the workouts discussed, then you apparently don't know what you are talking about anyway.
Keep your head in the ground big guy.
14 x 400 with 200 recovery at 4:52 pace.
^--- this is the biggest mark against you!
Where's the pudding?
you tell others that there is no need to be rude, but you are just as rude to those who dissent.
Way to make running "fun", coach. "Hey kid, we gotta hit this time on this date, or your not going to get xyz scholarship".
If you take anything I say to heart, I suggest you buy a book with some soundly defined training philosophies, and apply a scientific treatment to your coaching.
also, your coaching resume is worthless without any verification.
