This is my first year of dIII and I am coming back from an injury that took me out for 5 weeks right before indoor track.
I run about 50 miles a week and do plyo twice a week. I am increasing my mileage slowly and working with my injury.
My times are:
1600:4:52 (wasn't tired followed coach's pacing)
800:208
400:56
What is a good prediction for my outdoor 1500 time and even 8k time following into XC season.
around 4:52 for a mile, maybe like 4:40 for 1500
What is your school? often depends a lot on the training.
What do you predict for me?
PRs
1500: 3:50
5k: 14:26
800: 1:54
All ran within the last 8 months. What could I run for 1500 outdoor this year?
Just win the race!
I was in a similar boat as you last year, as it was my first year of collegiate running as well. I ran 4:51 in the mile and outdoors I was able to hit 4:21 for the 1500 in outdoor, but I know I didn't run to my full potential so I'd say you can even go faster for the 1500, hopefully sub 4:20. For the 8k, from experience I hit 27:39 my freshman year and only hit 27:24 sophomore year because I didn't increase my mileage that much. But I guarantee if you do run the mileage, you can PR by a good 45-60 seconds. Good luck this year.
