Let's Change The Subject. Looking for Track PR's 800, 1500, Mi, 3&5000

800M: 2:14

1600M: 4:34

3200M: 10:38 (last 2 miles of yesterday's tempo run)

5000M: 16:27

4 mile: 22:17 (yesterday's tempo run)

8000M: 28:24

i hate when people put qualifiers on the PRs.

no one cares if it was in the rain,wind, sleet or snow. if there was compitition or no compitition. if it was in practice, in a race, in time trial. if you had on spikes, missing a spike, flats, or trainers, or even barefoot. or it was run here or there or everywhere. indoor, outdoor. now or then, this way or that way.

a time is a time. and it is your PR.

So why don't you tell us your PR's ???????

if we are not braging then

1:54

3:54 1500

9:11 SC

Two weeks ago we ran an eight mile tempo, out in 22:18 back in 21:12 (on a measured course)

Side note:

no matter how fast we think we are, all of us have such a long way to go.

Best of luck to all

(800- 2:09 (but it was the first meet of the season AND my first 800 since the season before)

1600- 4:36 (my back was hurting and i couldnt get my form straight for sprinting the last 250 or so)

3200- 10:12 (it was junior year, so i could have run faster senior year)

5000xc- 16:00 (i didnt try between 2 and 2.5, kinda was thinking about the mixer the night before)

4 mile- 21:02 (it was a midnight race and i sprinted the first 400m, then walked for a bit, then decided to race)

(but really i should be a whole lot faster because i only have one leg and crap myself every race, but when i do race after getting out of the hospital, i dont put qualify it.))

800m- 2:06 indoors

1000m-2:46

1500m-4:19

3000m-9:25

5k? haven't run a serious one yet...

8k- 26:47 road

I agree, it doesn't matter what the conidtions or circumstances were when you set your PR's, like I could say my 8k road was run on a WINDY day, which it was, but when it all comes down to it, no one cares, your PR is your PR...

and I dont think that you can use (kartelite) your splits in training for PR's either, sorry pal.. A PR means your best ever performance in a RACE.

Quinton, I figured you would have came through the 1500 faster in your race against Walton. They must not have gotten the split on it.

On a slightly more serious note, I think that training PR's should count (as long as they were actually on a track in practice and not "by yourself" on an unmeasured course.) My PR's 1600-4:27.2 in practice 1500-4:06, 3200-9:35 8K XC-26:36 (only run 2). I'm a college frosh and obviously not that great.

4:11 (1600)..208+ 202+

1:53 (800)..57 56.

14:53 (5000)..444 444 455 w 30 fin.

25:15 (8000)..452 458 523 501 501.

all those prs are 2 yrs older or more except the 5k.. last spring. Sure would love to break through in the mile though.. become a sub 4 miler someday like some of the greats before me. Sure is a long road. Still I'm 22, there's time, I still believe in it, and my training's finally going good.

Yeah when I put my PR's from practice down, they ARE on a regulation college track. If Runna wants my PR's from races, well then they go something like this:

1000M: 3:20

1600M: 5:47

3200M: 12:36

Do you see why I'm putting down times from tempo runs/time trials? And I'm not trying to brag, but just about every one of those PR's is "soft" for me--my 1600 was run on 2:18, 2:16 splits and my 800 PR is 2:14 (I regularly run intervals at around 2:20). Also, that 1600 was set right when I took up running this July, so I've no doubt that I could be sub-4:30 right now.

Oh wait, but my "REAL" PR is only 5:47...

1500 - 4:11 (haha, I'm slow)

3000 - 8:47

5000 - 15:23 (yeap, still slow)

8k cross country - 25:52 (opps, you said track pr's)

10000 - 31:36

400 - 49.0 (split)

800 - 1:50.82

1500 - 3:50.29

mile - never raced one

3000 - 8:38 (indoor)

5000 - 15:40 (messing around in a road race)

8000 - 24:32 (cross country)

800 - 1:58

Mile - 4:24

5K - 15:12

8K - 25:21

10K - 31:36

1/2 Mar - 1:09:13 (hopefully to change this weekend)

Mar - 2:29:50

What most athletes should be capabe of

best 400m time x 2 + 10 seconds + predicted 800m time.

best 800m x 2 + predicted 1500m

best 1500m time x 2 + 30 seconds = predicted 3000m time

best 1500m x 3 + 2min 30sec = predicted 5000m time

best 500m x 2 + 1 minute = predicted 10000m time

best 400m time x 2 + 10 seconds = predicted 800m time.

best 800m x 2 = predicted 1500m

best 1500m time x 2 + 30 seconds = predicted 3000m time

best 1500m x 3 + 2min 30sec = predicted 5000m time

best 5000m x 2 + 1 minute = predicted 10000m time

800-1:55

1500-3:52.03

mile-4:15.7

3200-8:54

5000-14:20

Like to find someone that those formulas actually work on.

My own are very close. Here's my actual PBs with the predicted times in brackets.

400m 56.2 (2.02.4)

800m 2.02.2 (4.04.4)

1500m 4.06.5 (8.43.0 + 14.49.5)

3000m 8.40.4

5000m 15.15.5 (31.31)

10000m 31.36

my 5k PB is probably my weakest, but when I was at my fittest I only ran a couple.

I am probably the slowest runner on this board for most distance but I was a sprinter/hurdler in college and HS. Here goes:

200m 22.8 (23.9 w/ 5 hurdles)

400m 49.9 (relay)

400IH 56.53

800m 2:12

mile 5:24

2.5 miles 15:52

5000m 19:52

Each month, a dude named Statman provides a listing of a lot of letsrunners' PRs.

Probably the most inspirational is McVeigh's... he doesn't seem so swift around the oval, but can run well for a long time.

Or, I guess you could say that Sullivan doesn't even have a listed marathon time, but he can scoot around the track a few times at an Okay rate (note sarcasm).
