    re: here's some advice

    WOW am I glad I've found someone who is attempting this as well, you though have ran a bit faster than me. My PR's as of last year were 10.68 and 21.51, I used to split low-mid 49's consistently in the 400 when I was running in college but haven't touched a 400m since. I enjoy the sport and running way too much to give up, but I have no real desire to do sprints anymore, the training has become too habitual and I need a change of pace. Im 25 years old and am 6' flat, 190lbs.

    I haven't dug too much into this thread just yet, but I know there has to be some sort of a conversion period to a distance runner correct?

    re: Coach RT

    Coach RT, my email is

    strono31@gmail.com

    , Id like to talk some time when you have a chance, basically need a push for the first general step in converting to a mid-distance runner.

    Right now, I've been training as a 200m runner for indoor season, I've ran a 22.21 thus far on a 300m track, that being the first meet of the year for, but have since then been relaxing, one too many life stressors so I've taken a good 3-4 days off of doing anything. Reason Im doing this too, when I do my tempo work for off days and to build up some lactic tolerance, I hit 27 high and 28 low with 3-4 minutes in between reps for 200m, it feels relatively easy and would like to venture out and see if I could do an 800m, I've been joking about it for quite some time, but Im taking it serious now as I feel I could go sub 1:50 at some point in time, considering I already have the anaerobic base, it'd just be building up the aerobic base (properly).

    So yea, any help you can offer would be awesome.

    He's back spamming the Usatfmasters Facebook page with his 10min/mile pace. I just want to yell at him that he's a 400/800 guy. Stop running 4-5hr marathons.
