Training Advice/Discussion

7 years ago 05/02/2016 8:41am EDT

Freshman: (40mpw tops)

5k:17:50

400:53

800:2:05

1600:4:50

3200: DNR

soph:(35-40mpw)(slacked huge this year)

400:53

800:2:08

1600:4:51

3200:11:10

Junior: (55mpw solid sometimes close to 60)

4x4 split:52

800:2:00

1600:4:39

3200:10:17

I know not the best times but I am showing improvement. And I am planning on taking training seriously this year. Bumping up to 65-70 mpw and all that jazz. What event do you think i should focus on? this year I focused on the 3200/1600 and trained for that. But should I do the 800/1600? or all three? UIL just passed a rule where we can run all three now. And what do you think my potential is with 70mpw? are my school records possible? 4:24,1:58,9:47

re: justathought

You seem like an 800 guy to me. All those school records are possible if you train consistently.

You have pretty solid wheels so I think if you focus on getting stronger with miles and thresholds and such, the 800/1600 would be vastly improved and where you would have the most success.

I think you are an 800 guy. I think 55-60 mpw is good for you. Maybe try to work on your speed.

The 1:58 is certainly possible. Maybe that 9:47 too. The 4:24 is the toughest to me.

re: justathought

what event is your favorite? whatever your favorite event is, i'd focus on thaht. i'm guessing you want to be a mileri'd say do 40 miles per week and focus on speed for the 400-800 or bump up a few miles per week and go for the mile. 50-55 mpw is all you need. stay fresh and race hard to get improvements (doubling/tripling in meets etc)here's my high school background:200m - 23 something400m - 49.8 open800m - 1:551600m - 4:253200m - 10:17 (raced once as sophomore)5k XC - 16:12 usually 25-30 mpw in track, 30 mpw in XC for the two years i did itmy focus was almost entirely for the 800m in track. no tempos, just 200-400's and hill sprints
