I'm an incoming sophomore highschool girl. Last year my xc 5k pr was 21:55, 1:49 600 indoor and 2:34 800 outdoor. This summer I have done 20-30 mpw, lifted twice a week, and done personal training twice a week. Long runs range from 8-10 miles at 9:10-9:35 pace. Runs are generally 9-10 minute pace (slower when running with team, faster when running alone...I do long runs alone). What do you think I can run for a 5k in xc?
too vague to tell. just wait until time trials/first meet. good luck!
Not nearly enough info here. Any indicator workouts you'd like to share, or any workouts at all besides a long run?
Run 4x1 mile and you'll have your 5k pace
What did you do in mpw before your XC PR?
In the spring, what times did you run for the 1600 or 3200 or did you just run many 800s leading to your 2:34? You need to train for and run every race from 600 to 3200 the rest of the year if you want your XC time to keep coming down.
You do lots of different types of training. Tell us all about what you did the summer before your XC PR.
Why don't you stop speculating, train well, run a 5k and find out? Speculating does you no good...
Stick with the 800m
