Sub 17 or low 17

That's all kewl, but:

What mileage have you been running up to this point in your life?

60-70 is totally doable, but if you haven't been anywhere near there yet you better ramp up easy. To make a jump from <40 mpw to 70 would be stupid. You have the time to ramp up though.

No.

I do around 45-50 last summer.

So far its varied but 30-40 has been easy for me. I’m starting to ramp it up now too. This week I’m at 34 before tmrw.

Seriously? Not a chance?

I've seen lots of guys put in huge base blocks in over the summer and come back and rip the field apart. I always too the time off and clicked into shape when I needed to. But there was no doubt the guys who trained through were definitely stronger overall

With that mile PR you will have to be an aerobic beast to break 17. If you could 4:59 I’d say you have a better chance.

there are dozens of not hundreds of threads in the archives about breaking 17, I suggest you check them out.

Ok yeah I definitely plan on going ham this summer. I’d say I should be able to go sub 5 its just the injuries have set me back.

Otherwise thanks I will definitely look at them.

Do people still say "going ham?" I figured that was outdated by about a decade.

Anywho, if you can run faster, you'll be the bomb dot com.

Haha yeah definitely out dated idk

I really hope so lol
