tues- 9 mile run

friday- meet, 800, 1600, 3200 races
saturday-13 mile run
sunday nothing
monday-4 x 2000 @ goal 3200 pace
tues-9 mile run
I feel so sluggish now after all these workouts, and am wondering if this too much? It seems to me that there is hardly any recovery runs.
Why did you take Thursday and Sunday completely off? Those days would have both been perfect for easy runs. That said, that probably is a little too much quality. If you hadn't tripled that would be pretty normal though.

Yes too much. Second monday´s 4x200 workout would be impossible to do for myself, so it´s too hard. My advice, more base work and some anaerobic threshold workouts. Especially because you have 3 races in friday you need more regeneration and medium work.
If taking complete days off, better it be Monday as one. Then, your coach will not demand a workout on Sunday. Therefore, one workout eliminated. This might help. Look out for yourself. Slugggish is usually a precursor to injuries. Also, why not make the weeks alternate? Have one week where you only do 4x800, and the other 8x800.Better to stay fresh and strong than sluggish just to meet the demand. I assume you are in college, so the coach with throw you out with the bathwater if you get injured. Someone else will gladly take your place. Look out for you. They are not.

He ran the 1600 and 3200 in a meet. He is clearly in high school.
I know some dumbasses, but I don't know too many who would have you run 4 x 2000 at 3200 pace.
I call bullshit on this one:

My turn! I call bullshit on this one. It is not possible to do two 300's all out with 45 second rest, much less EIGHT.
All out just means as hard as you can.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
