You are reporting the following post to the moderators for review and possible removal from the forum Poster: Saul Goodman Subject: RE: High School athletes don't think, can I define tempo runs like this? Body: I feel you. HS kids are going to benefit most from an appropriate tempo but have several things working against them. Lack of overall aerobic fitness to handle long workouts, lack of attention span (this generation of HS kids from 2005 - present are terrible and they only get worse every year), inconsistent days (see lack of aerobic fitness), poor racing tactics leading to race times not indicative of actual fitness... It's tough. Ballpark works. Given their lack of aerobic development, mile pace plus 75 for most guys (4:30 - 5:30 range), mile place plus 90 works for most girls (5:15 - 6:15 range). You really only need to adjust for outliers. Fast girls are easy, just put them with some guys. Fast guys you may need to run with. The slow ones, well, you can just adjust how far they are running. Nobody says it out loud, but it's not really important on their specific paces. Hit the submit button below if you want us to review the post.
