I ran 16:20/4:35/9:50 my junior year in HS as well as a 1:20:03 Half marathon my sophmore year. I quit after cross my senior year. Im 18 Years old and have been running on and off for about 7 months. Where could i be at 2 years from now with some serious hard training? Im hoping to get in shape for 31:30 10k/ sub 1:10 half marathon/ and sub 2:30 marathon.
What are my chances?
just curious, but why did you not run track your senior year?
Zero chance, because you don't have the mental talent or ability to stick with it.
Some people are self-motivated and hate taking breaks. Others are only motivated when they're surrounded by a team. The fact that you have been running "on and off" is a sign that you aren't self-motivated. Guess what, while you certainly have the physical ability to run a sub-70 half and a 2:30 marathon, it's going to take a lot of consistent self-motivated training which will not happen.
I predict two month from now you'll be on another "off" phase.
bump.
You seem to have been good enough to have mantained things such as drive, motivation, and knowledge of training. If you believe in yourself and are committed to putting in the work needed to achieve this than absolutely you can. I didn't run track my senior year and i regret it everyday but it motivated me to start training again.
