Hello Everyone,
I am currently a junior in High School. I have pr's of;
1 mile - 4:33
2 mile - 9:59
5k cross country - 16:46
Ok, heres the scoop. I ran footlocker regionals today and it gave me a rude awakening of how many good runners there are. I am use to winning races in my district and finishing close to 200th was quite a shock for me. Heres the thing, not to brag or boost but I am pretty naturally talented. I say this because I run very repectable times off of non-sense training. My coach has honestly NO CLUE how to train individuals. My mileage for cross country is about 20 miles per week. Examples of workouts performed are 2x800m with full recovery. The workouts and treshold running are very sporatic also. Another factor is that we , as a team , are over-raced. We accumlated a total of 14 races and 1 time trial. This left me hurting for States and one of my teamates fell off pace from 16:43 to 18:10. What should I do? I really am at a loss...
