Wondering what goal time I should have for a 1500 time trial tomorrow. I am in XC shape(little speed right now but good endurance). I am a D3 college freshman with PRS of:
1600-4:42.34
3200-9:46.08
8k-27:47 on a very hilly course
I think I could run low 4:20's but I'm not sure, let me know what you think!
4:19
WOW

Your 3200 is WAY better than your 1600. Are you sure that is your actual PR? You have probably split 4:52 in a 3200 race yet you are only 10 secs faster in a 1600?!?!
Assuming you really only could run 4:42 1600 during track season, I think you're in for a shock. If you haven't done 1500 specific training don't be surprised if you only run 4:25-30 for the 1500 in the trial.
Ran the 9:46 at the end of my senior season and the 4:42 at the beginning of it. I know I can go much faster than 4:42 seeing I ran 4:42.xx in practice after a 3k tempo a week after the 9:46 3200.

Well, I'd go with low 4:20s. Are you racing solo or against teammates?
What u get?

Raced against teammates. Ran a 4:20-21 and got 5th out of 14 guys. My splits were 65, 2:16, 3:27. Felt good to race on the track against but it was pretty chilly out (mid 40's) and a little windy so I was very happy with the effort despite no speed training either. Think I could definitely run a 4:10 by outdoor track, but I think I will be focusing on going 15:45 or so in the 5k in outdoor by then.
In what way was that a time-trial? It was a race, pure and simple, between fellow teammates (call it an intramural race if you like) only without wearing a number.
The hand time results came out this morning and I actually went faster than I thought. 4:19.4. Great considering little speed work and not yet track season.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
