    This year has definitely been a crazy one, and I’d love to top it off with a sub 10 minute 3200. I am currently a junior. Last may I ran a 4:46 for the 1600 and a 10:38 for the 3200. These were time trials which were done on road, and for the mile the first 800 was fairly downhill while the 3200 was pretty flat. This XC season I just ran a 17 flat (ik super tuff) but I believe I was probably in 16:50 shape, just mentally not there. I have been practicing really hard and my goal is to drop my two mile time from a 10:38 to a sub 10. If this were possible I could probably win my state championship race. Do you guys think it’s possible or nah? If so, any tips??

    Thanks!!

    1). Yes, it’s possible.

    2). Listen to your coach.

    I am aware of no states where 10 minutes wins.

    Your track time trials didn't sound promising at first, but 17 flat 5K puts you in the ballpark. Stay healthy and you've got a good shot.

    10:00 for me was a major struggle during my junior year. I ran almost exactly 10 flat 2-3 times while running 4:40ish miles. I finally ran 9:53, but after a hard winter of training I burned out a bit and went back north of 10,, but somehow rallied to run a 9;43 out of nowhere my last meet.

    Your 10:38 is slow relative to your mile time so maybe you don't have the strength for 10:00 and the 800 would be your best distance. I was 4:53/10:18 as a sophomore.

    Many places in North Carolina have great weather for track, because you can work on your speed year round, like California, but during this time of the year it is cool.

    Shift your focus in training toward 800/1600 and run fast times early in the season.

    The sub 10 will come.

    I ran 2:05, 4:35, 9:53 as a soph, and I focused on the shorter races as a junior, but still was given 2nd team all-conference in the long race, which got a laugh because it should have been for the shorter distances.

    I tell you that so you can see that the sub 10 for 3200 will happen if you have more focus on fast 800s and fast 1600s.

    I am not sure 10:00 in the 3200 will even get you to qualify for NCHSSA.
