So today I am running the 3200 for the first time. My 800 time that I ran last week was 2:49, and before that 3 weeks ago I ran a 6:29 1600 indoors and then outdoors I ran 6:34. These are not fast, but i think my most recent 800 time shows that I improved (I PR'd by 10 seconds) What is a good time to go for? And also, what are some good tips to run this race? Thanks!
wow didn't know girls used letsrun
How old are you?
How much training have you been doing?
When did you start?
The most important tip for a 3200 is it will take you longer to learn how to run it than it took to learn how to run the 800 or the 1600. It takes longer to get in shape to run a 3200 compared to an 800 as well. So be patient.
Your 6:34 suggests 14:00 and your 2:49 suggests 13:10 if you have been training for a while. Without knowing more, I suggest running the first 1600 in 7:00 and then trying to pick it up to 6:35 pace. It will be hard to speed up that much in the middle but if you do you will pass many and the race will be hard but fun. If you start dreaming about a 13:10 the first time out, you will most likely run 6:35 and 7:35 and not even hit 14:00.
