16:41
My take on it wrote:
16:41
Agreed. Most freshmen/high schoolers in general have 1600 PR's waaay better than 5000 because they never put in a solid base. For a freshman who can only run 4:48 for the 1600 to run 16:41 is impressive.
i agree with the above posters. it shows that you have aerobic strength. usually i see freshmen run 4:50 but only 17:30 for 5K.
Actually, my mile PR is only 5:02 from last year in 8th grade. My friend who is now a senior ran 4:48 when he was a frosh though. I just wanted to see how I would compare to him If we were the same age. I also ran 10:24 in 8th grade if that helps.
Was the 5k xc or track? And legit? And on a hard course?
Would still say 16:41 is better though. Ran 16:54 soph year xc, 4:43ish freshman year track.
