I'm age 19 with a PB of 1:56.89 from indoors last march. Other PRs include 16:44 5k, 27:19 8k and 4:30 in the mile. Also a 50.46 4x400 split. I haven't trained unitl this last month and I'm in around 18:00 5k shape. Am I capable of sub 1:50? What kind of training should I be moving towards? LET ME KNOW.
Nobody knows. Nothing there suggests you can, but people can always improve, so maybe one day you'll run 1:49.
Quick answer is....Not a a chance of making your goal
Your 5km and 8 km times are irrelevant so why are you telling us.
8oom is essentially a sprint for 2 laps so you obvisously need to work on speed.
A 7 second improvement at your age is highly improbable because you are now full grown and you need to realize that all the training in the world will not help you unless you have the innate ability to perform at a higher level you are wasting your time.
Hardly. I bet if you train hard for 2-3 years, you'll get close to 1:50, and definitely within 5 years.
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
