Do you think I can win the XC State Championship in my state. My PR for the 5k is 16:56 and i will need to break 16 for a title. My main competition is a good friend who lives 40 minutes away. Im doing 55-65 MPW.
What should i do this summer to improve my chances?
Couple of things:
1) You've got a minute you need to shave off and yet you only have one guy who is your main competition? That seems odd. I'm fairly certain you've got other competitors.
2) I also would like to know what state you live in where a time just under 16 minutes would allow you to compete for a state title. I suppose a small school division perhaps somewhere. All I know is I ran 15:48 in high school and was no where close to competing for a state title, and times are faster now than they were when I was in high school.
