Hey everyone! I will be running a 2 day meet soon. I will run the 3200 on the first day and the 1600 on the next. I was wondering if I will still be able to run well in the 1600? I am going to have to run the 3200 all out bc I am trying to qualify for state, so I can’t just jog it. The 1600 I am weaker in so I am just trying to pr Bc it will almost defiantly be my last mile this season. Anyone got advice on how to perform my best in the 16?
Thanks!
You’ve got a good game plan so far in taking it one race at a time.
Any idea what the rest of the 1600 field’s seed times are like compared to yours? Unless you are a significant favorite, I’d go out way towards the back, maybe even last place for the first lap at least and then move up if you’re feeling good.
Realize that you can walk away from a race without a PR but still have a specific, measurable positive result: (I negative split! I ran my fastest last lap ever! I caught three guys in the final 200!)
You can usually run pretty well on a two day meet, from what I've seen it's easier to double two events over two days compared to the same day

Thanks. I think that’s a good idea to stay in the back. There’s two guys that should be way ahead of the pack and then about 4-5 of us within 5 seconds of each other. That’s true too about thinking of the positives! Thanks!

That’s great to hear! Doubled 3200/1600 in one day meets before and have done pretty good still so hopefully this will go good!
