How would you rank these, and what type of runner do these tell you I am?
400 - 56
800 - 2:05
1500 - 4:07
5000 - 15:27
10000 - 32:00 (This one really sucks... not quite under 31...
1/2 marathon - 1:11:31
So whats the ranking? Other than I know my 400 and 800 are the worst.
Become an ultra distance runner!
Besides your 400 to your 800 and your 5k to your 10k you get progressively better as you reach longer distances.
Thanks! And when I said not quite under 31, I meant 32:00.
Your ranking is 954th.
To give a better answer we would need to also know your age. If your sixteen and running these times there is room for improvement in the shorter and longer races, if your 40 concentrate on the longer.
your a fast girl!!!
I'm 22. Been running since 16.
Then I would reccomend you get a coach and chase your running dreams. McMillan online coaching sounds like a great way to go!
You're a marathoner. The 205 versus the 71 says it all.
I agree with Fleetfoot.You have talent and need guidance.
Your md's are weak,HM pretty good,I guess the relative times across your range reflect whatever training mode you have followed.Are you self coached?
In order from worst to best:
400 - 56
800 - 2:05
1500 - 4:07
5000 - 15:27
10000 - 32:00 (This one really sucks... not quite under 31...
1/2 marathon - 1:11:31
Oh, and I'm faster than you.

These tell me that you're a white dude with no wheels who loves going for Sunday long runs. You may also like to run with your shirt off. On the weekends you like to party with "the boys". Musically you like bands that "you discover". You know pop stuff, before it's pop. You'd never call yourself pop, or emo.... you're really into the scene. You also like to "be crazy" and do things that "no one expects".
How'd I do?

How'd you like me to shove this post I'm writing straight up your sardonic ass?
Well, I am a white dude who does love Sunday long runs. On hot days, of course I run without a shirt on. I do listen to some emo and pop, and of course I would call it that. Mostly I listen to classic rock though. I don't really party at all on the weekends. You were probably about 50% accurate. I must say, saying I'm white was really going out on a limb. Because I bet so many minorities use letsrun.
And yeah, I'm self coached. Actually getting a coach would be great, but I don't really have the money for it.
I'll say this for you - You've got big brass ones for posting your times on this board and leaving yourself open to all the LR commentary.
By comparison, your times bury me. Didn't do any running after high school, myself. Picked it back up at age 38, so I pretty much lost my chance to peak at a young age. My only claim, a weak one, is breaking 10:00 in the 2-mile in high school.
How often have run run the 800/1500 in the time period where you set your 5k PR? It looks to me like you don't do a lot of sub 5k pace work.

If your 5000 pr is 15:27, why would a 10,000 at 16:00 pace "really suck"?
As others have said, you are definitely a longer distance guy.
It sucks because 31:59 sounds much better than 32:00. Thats the only reason.
400 not that bad for a distance runner. 800 just shows you've got little to no leg speed and you probably haven't run very man of them. The 1500 tells me that you've got no leg speed but decent stamina at your high end speed.
The thing that really sticks out is your 5k time. I have similar 10k/HM times (32:03 and 71:59) but have run 15:06 for 5k. Were these times on the track or roads?
In my opinion, I think you should work on your basic speed a little bit. My favorite way of doing this is by doing what 4x150m accels. On a track, accelerate from ~VO2 to mile to 400m pace over each 50m segment and then jog 250m and repeat. I know improving your sprinting speed sounds a little silly when doing lost distance prep, but sometimes that is a key (and very often neglected) factor when you're loggin a lot of miles.
