I haven't been in school since I graduated this May, but I'm hoping I could walk on with a 1:53 and 4:10mile. I've been averaging 30-40mpw, but I haven't been on the track, which has forced me to hammer all my distances runs around 5:40 pace. I've been doing hills. But can this time still be achieved despite no speed work (I planned on doing track work at the beginning of November)?
Prs:
100m-10.89 (2009)
400m-50.12 (2009)
800m-1:57
1600m-4:20
5k-16:11
I would appreciate some feedback. Thanks.
Either you are a liar, an idiot or both. Your times don't correlate at all. Sub 11, apparently FAT? With that and a 4:20, you should have run 1:50 not 1:57.
Also, you planned on starting intervals in november? that was almost 2 months ago.
The answer is no. maybe train correctly and i'm guessing you have not idea how to do that.
" With that and a 4:20, you should have run 1:50 not 1:57."
That's not necessarily true. I ran a 4:28 mile in high school, but my 800 PR was 2:05

Sorry, I should've told yall that I started out as a sprinter and then moved up to distance, my senior year my coach had me run 70-80 miles during the winter (didn't benefit me at all). When I meant "speedwork" I didn't mean hard sessions, I meant like 200s and 400s at mile or 3k pace. and the reason I haven't been on a track is because ever since i graduated, i've moved to place that's like 2 hours away from a track. C'mon I'm just a light-skinned brother! naw i'm just kiddin. Anyways since I'll be at my college I'm attending next week, what times should I hit on the track for intervals around this time (200s,600s, 1000s?) Thanks.
