Hello Letsrun,

I'm a 15 year old girl and I wanted to know what I might be able to run a 2 mile and mile in based off this workout:

6x300 with 1:30 rest in between: 62, 59, 62, 58, 58, 57.

Rested for 7 minutes, then did a mile at what felt like a comfortable run: 6:59

Then rested for another 7 minutes and did the 6x300 again w/ 1:30 rest in between: 64, 63, 61, 60, 60, 58.

Thoughts from workout:

Overall, I felt smooth and comfortable for most of the run. I felt tight in my legs the last 2 300's in each set, but that's about it. My pacing was very erratic, since I tried to do 67, 65, 64, 62, 61, 60 on each 6x300 set. Overall effort I would say "fun". BTW, this was my first speed workout of the summer.

Great workout, but longer distance miles are needed to be able to run the mile or two mile you want to run. If you are running some 3-6 mile runs on a regular basis, you will be happy with your track times. I suggest you work on your mileage this summer if you plan to run cc and/or track. Tell us more when you have time, msmith. You have a lot of great running years ahead of you if you enjoy it.

I've been averaging about 30 miles per week so far, and I plan to slowly move up towards the end of the summer. I've been doing some 6 milers as long runs. What do you think I can run based off of this information, silverfox?

30 miles/week is fine for your age. Your long run is plenty for your age, also. Hope you are taking at least one day/week off. If you want to do speed of some sort once a week, do it. everyone once in a while, run back to the barn, so to speak. Run the last part of your run a little faster, maybe at 7:30 pace or so.

I think you are in 5:30-6:00 race pace but I would just enjoy running this summer and not worry about mile times. Run a few 5K's for fun. Run with some other girls you can find that run. There may be some older ladies in your area who run that you can run with sometime. Are you going out for cross country? I would recomment it. Then, you can see some super good 1600, 3200, or 800 times next spring in track. Keep us posted on how you progress, msmith.
