Given the times, ages and training below, guess my 1500 time:
400m - 53 (age: 19-22 on several B 4x4s running 45 miles/week)
800m - 1:56 (age: 25, running 75 miles/week)
1000m - 2:30 (age: 26, running 70 miles/week)
1500m - X:XX (age: 23, running 70 miles/week)
3000m - 8:20 (age: 26, running 70 miles/week)
5000m - 14:36 (age: 24, running 85 miles/week)
3:50-4 flat
3:55
Centro would clown you in a 1500.
Should be in the range of 3:55-3:58.
Last chance to get your guesses in before the big reveal...
3:53
So I ran 3:48.8 for the 1500 at 23 and 4:07.7 for the mile at 26. The purpose of this post is to have others help me understand what the heck is up with this profile. How can I run so much faster than what my times at shorter and longer distances would suggest? When I put in the volume, I still can't muster quality 5000 performances. I have no idea how I pull off what I pull of in the 1500 given my speed constraints. Anybody else have the experience of sucking at distances both above and below your primary one?
