Hello everyone, Im a Junior and my team was looking foward to score massive points at state. The only problem is that we dont have any distance runners. Our coach says that I am the only one fast enough to move up to the mile. Ive ran a 50.21 400m and a 1:55 800M, this was with 0 road milage and straight speed workouts. Do you all think its possible for me to run around a 4:16 mile. Thanks :)
Probably, sounds like you have some good talent. Honestly, i'd stick with the 8. If you improve to running 49s , I could see faster in the 8 going with that. Both will do very well in any state. Also, your focus on the 8 and proper training for that could set you up for a move up.
Focus on 800
Ignore these fools. Trust your coach. Try it out. If it ends up not working, he'll tell you. 4:16 is definitely possible with the right training.
Alright jackass, he should focus on the 8 because he can still run well with a pretty heavy track focus. This kid said he doesn't run road mileage. God knows how he'll to mileage necessary to run a good mile. He could be playing soccer or something on the side and is a naturally good athlete. We had a guy like that in high school. He ran 48 high/1:54 was a soccer player. Never did mileage with us distance guys only interval days. College has him doing mileage and he has regressed pretty badly.
