    16 yr old rising junior

    prs:

    5k: 18:47 (xc)

    3200m: 11:13 (outdoor)

    1600m: 4:57 (indoor)

    800m: 2:19 (indoor)

    Lost a month of outdoor season and never really recovered due to concussion and flu.

    I took a 3 week break off after the season ended and ran a 19:29 5k on a hilly course..

    My past 3 weeks have been:

    45 miles

    50 miles

    15 miles (couldn't run at friends house)

    55 miles (is what I'm gonna run this week)

    Should I pr?

    In season I only run about 25 miles, so my mileage is much heavier. Also ran the 19:29 off of a 3 week rest, so I feel like this much heavier mileage should lead to a pr?

    Hey man, you're looking great. I would take that 5k after your break with a grain of salt because yes you took time off, but you can still run hard after 3 weeks. That being said, 19:29 is really close to 18:47. That means a little out of shape and with track mileage, you were 40 seconds away. You're training harder than ever now and you're growing and maturing, so as long as you keep it up, ID be 100% surprised if you didn't PR within your first three races. Good luck man, keep up the good work!
