So today I pr'd in a preseason time trial by a minute of my 3200m time over the course of a year with a 9:41, however, I accidentally pr'd in the the 800m and 1600m in the same run with splits of 2:13/4:39/7:00/9:41. Next time when i run with even/negative splits, what could my potential time in the 3200 be?
9:25
gracias
Nice job on the improvement! How old are you?
17 in senior year. i wish i would have started track 4 years earlier.
That last half mile looks like it hurt. A little more strength and better pacing and you'll be looking great.
Gotta love Letsrun fast estimates. If your pr is 4:39 for the mile you cannot run 9:25. I'd say you'll be close to your run today: 9:35.

Since his ran his 4:39 1600 PR as part of a 3200, I think it would be fair to assume that he could run a 1600 by itself quite a bit faster - presumably he wasn't running all out for those first 1600 meters knowing he still had another 1600 to go, right?
Take a look at seed times in the 3200 at Arcadia in the Friday races from last year. Many many guys beat their seed times by 20 sec or more. . With more training and experience, and some good races, the OP can easily go substantially faster.

Don't worry about that. You already know you're in uncharted territory right now. Since it's so early, the question is not 'how good am I right now?' It's 'how good can I get?'
Focus on doing the right training and later in the season you'll laugh at how much you cared about what you could run now, because you'll know that whatever it was, you've definitely surpassed it by now.
It requires a little bit of self-discipline to realize what the important questions are, and it's natural to think this matters. But really it doesn't so much. And this question shouldn't be answerable, since later you'll be competing with a different (ideally higher) fitness level.
you ran 2:13,2:26,2:21,2:DIE.
no reason to change anything other than even out the first and second 800.
do 2:20's for the first 3 halves, and let the final 800 come down. You put together 3/4 of a very solid race, don't mess with it. The last 800 will come around quickly.

What is the most stupid running advice you've ever heard?🤣(It can be funny)
Are Asics, Saucony, and New Balance envious of Brooks, Hoka ,and On?
