I looking to find a good post collegiate training group for guys looking to run fast from 800m-1500m.

It's been a while since I've raced and I'm wanting to get back into it seriously and give it another go. I know how talented I am and I can say that I'll probably never make an Olympic team but I think it's within the realm to qualify for the trials.

a group with several guys who are in the following range would be perfect:

1500m - 3:48ish types

3000m - 8:20ish types

5000m - 14:20ish range

steeple - 8:50 range

Obviously these times won't get you into the trials, but a group of guys in this range would be a good group to train with to see where things could progress to.

Is there anywhere with this type of group training.I do realize that in this group most everyone would have jobs if they aren't finishing up school.

re: BoulderGroup

I am actually looking for the exact same thing. What areas are you looking at?

re: lookinoutt

Like I said, we have a group moving to Boulder this summer. Sub 3;45 guys and 14:00 flat guys.

Right now Tempo Sport is in Boulder, but we have nothing to do with them!

re: BoulderGroup

a group full of 3:45 and sub 14 guys might be a little too much for me right now.

i don't doubt that I can get to that point but it will take some time. i honestly haven't had consistent training since high school and remain a 4:20 miler. I've hung in workouts with a big group of guys who are beyond that 3:45 and 14 minute barrier but it's been a while and honestly, while i was in that group i was racing all of my workouts just to hang in there.

i feel like had i been able to be brought along a little slower and could have stayed healthy i could've made a breakthrough after a couple years. i'll need solid training through the summer to be able to jump in with a group starting in the fall most likely.

boulder would be a great option and honestly i'm open to just about anything.
