I am currently a high school senior. The college I am planning on attending in the fall (for various reasons) does not offer Cross Country or Track for men. As I am still interested in continuing running, I was looking for advice/opinions on what I should do. I would consider myself an above average High School runner.
My PR's are:
400m: :55.9r
800m: 2:07.0
1600m: 4:36.0
3200m: 9:58.5
3 miles: 16:28

Obviously I am hoping to improve all of those times (except the 3 mile) this spring. I was considering running a half marathon soon after state for track, and a full marathon in the fall.

Any advice/opinions on training, racing, etc. would be greatly appreciated!


As far as improving the times go, your 800m should free-fall during the spring...

I don't think it's possible to have a 55.9 400 coupled with a 4:36 1600m and somehow manage only a 2:07 800m in between...

To put it into perspective, my Freshman year of high school I had a 54.6 400m - 2:08.00 800m - 4:55 1600m

Of course, you could say that I was slightly more speed-oriented back then, but regardless, your 400/1600 credentials say you can certainly do much better in the 800m
