    Last year during track season as an 8th grader I ran a 5:28 1600m but was injured in the second lap. This year as a freshman I ran 18:14 for xc (3.1 miles) and I have my first track meet coming up soon and have not had a time trial so I do not know what I should set as a goal for the race, the latest workout that I have done to give a you a clue of what my current fitness level is was 6x400m (1:12,1:14,1:15, 1:16, 1:16 and 1:20 ) with a 3min. recovery between each. I do hope to pr is this reasonable and what do you think would be a good goal time? also How fast do you think I am capable of?

    thanks

    I should clarify that it was the 3rd lap and not the second in which i was injured and lost approx 10 seconds for the last lap and 5 for the remainder of the third lap compared to my first 2 laps. sorry for the typo

    with that much rest it doesn't tell us much. you're probably still around the same shape you were in before if anything. try to beat last year's time and see where you are now.

    At your age and with a really solid cross country season behind you, you can expect some significant improvement. Aim for 5:00 and see what happens. If it doesn't happen in this race, it should come this season if you keep working at it. Faster than that is definitely not out of the question, either, but it mostly depends on your workouts and your racing. Good luck!

    Ok thanks for replying, I only did that much rest because that is what my coach told me to do. it should also be noted that the goal of the workout was to hit 80 seconds on each repeat. It felt really slow so i was pushing it as fast as i could without getting in trouble for running faster than I was supposed to.

    thanks
