Hi I’m in 8th grade. I am currently running 35 mpw (long intervals, tempo, short intervals, LR), and was wondering how to get sub 10:20. I’m able to do my 12 mile LR at 6:24, sub 34 for 12x 200, just did a 3x1200 at about 4:00, and sub 6:20 for tempos. My endurance I think is on par, but I don’t know about my Vo2, and anaerobic threshold is on the same level. Can I get there, if so how? thanks.
So I can be the first grumpy old man to check in, your long run is too far and too fast for your age and background. It sounds like you're putting too much effort and stock into your workouts. You'll have more success if you train at your ability level, as determined by your race times and training background.
You have over four more years of running left before college. Don't worry about fancy workout terms or obsess with times. Just train consistently, have fun and don't put too much pressure on yourself.
Best way for you to improve is to stay healthy and not push it too much. Honestly you probably just need to grow.
Agree with the other guy don't push yourself too hard. Read Build your Running Body by Pete Magill.
