Want to continue to improve, and wondering if this was a good workout: 11x400, 3 on grass, 8 on track, 200m jog in between, 5k pace until last one, where it was mile pace and then sprint. Will this help me see improvements for someone who wants to make it to states, and eventually run d1 collegiately?
Bump I was thinking about doing something like this for xc, too.
Anyone???
It's hard to say if this is a good workout since we don't know what the rest of your month leading up to this has incorporated. Have you been racing every week? Have you been keeping up with your threshold workouts and long runs? I personally like more 1000's and 800's at 5k pace. I feel the 400's are too short for the 5k. Also, how far out from your most important race is this? That makes a big difference. If close, then it would work, unless you're a runner that thrives off of more threshold workouts.

so, you're a girl, then.
Why are there so many jerks on here? The kid asked for advice, he/she doesn't need stupid comments. Some of these kids don't have a coach that cares or is knowledgeable, so they are looking for any advice that could potentially help them.
As for the workout, If done at 5k pace, it's not a difficult workout. Make sure you're running relaxed with proper form. You could always do them at 3k pace, or make the reps longer, such as 800 or 1000's.

Ok, thanks for the input. The workout felt really easy, so hopefully my coach bumps it up some more next week since we don’t have a race that week. I did 6x1000m last week, but sadly died in the second half of the workout, running about 5:20 ish pace first half, and 6 minute pace second half. And to the guy that was asking my gender, I’m a guy, step off.
