What is my ceiling?

How fast can you sprint a 200?

What is your height and weight?

I apologize i am just now seeing this. I've never actually done an all out 200 that wasn't in a wlrkout. I'd guess 28? 27 with spikes maybe? I'm 6'0 150 lbs..

Bump...

My ceiling in my bedroom has a large mirror on it. can you guess what it is for?

-_-

To watch your boyfriend's hairy @ss?

He'd need two mirrors for that.

Hey-Oooooohhhhhhh!

Thank u everyone for the serious answers.

You may be at your ceiling. Not everyone has the talent or genetics to run as fast as elites. It isn't ALL about hard work. I ran in the high 10's a few times for the 100m in highschool but sucked at XC. The higher up in distances I went the worse my achievements got compared to my peers. Maybe you are more suited for the 400 or 800?

You running a xc 5k and 100meter dash is not a very good comparison. I don't think I'd be good at 400 or 800 even if I trained for it specifically...

Hey man, I'm sorry about donkeys on letsrun. My best advice in this situation is finish your season and take time off. After this I keep your mileage high 90 to 100. If you can handle this without getting hurt, that's a talent on its own. Really the best thing to do when your in a rut is too run a lot, run quality, and don't get hurt. Just be persistent. Some other posters said you may have reached your ceiling. However, this is a cop out answer because they don't really have a solution. And there isn't a clear solution but to be persistent your only 20 you can still improve. Just run. One of my buddies was stuck in the 16:40-17:00 for 2 years and just this spring he ran 15:38.

Thank you for a great answer!! I can handle that mileage. I just don't really get hurt. I've only had one injury since i started running. If you don't count breaking my finger playing basketball 2 years ago :) so i think you're right. I just need to stay at higher mileage. Do you think i need to change my diet? I eat probably 60 carbs, 40 fat / protein. Like chicken and nuts. I drink a lot of water. Also i lift weights twice a week the last two years. During base seasons i always get in the pool as much as i can, or lake. ( i live by lakes )

Evaluate your form. You want to be as efficient as possible.

Maybe cut down the milage to 50-60.

Let recovery days be recovery day; take it easy.

Hammer the last half of long runs (long run ~12 miles.)

Cool thanks for the advice. I usually go 6:50 ~ 7:10 on recovery days. I'll slow it down a bit. I also do core exercises 4-5 dsys days a week. I'll be sure to cut down my mileage a bit too. How do i evaluate my form? How exactly do i improve it???
