    This is my first message on the forum, so before anything you should know some details about me. I'm 17 years old, 55kg, 171cm.. I'm been doing sports since 7, but I was never serious about it, until now... And I'm really disappointed with my results. It was my first week of training and yesterday I tried to run the 1000m. Well, surprisingly I got my WORST result ever, 3:27! :(. When I was 14 I ran the 1000m in 3:15(that is still my PB). I really don't know what is happening, maybe I trained a lot during the week(7 times) and then the body was not responding? It can be as it's still not used to a lot of training. I would like to hear some opinions from other people :)

    Why don't you talk with your school coach.

    Because I haven't a coach. Well, my father was the coach of a 3-time London Marathon winner but I want to do it by myself.

    sounds like you have a good base so you should do lots of speed workouts like 6x500 4x200 for example also take a day off or really easy day the day before you race

    Thank you, I might be doing that :) Today I just took the day to relax so (hopefully) tomorrow I can be strong and set a new PB on 1000m!

    The only thing I still find strange is the fact that when I was 14, and without any training at all I run it in 3:15 and now I was 12 seconds slower! Things must change..

    Ok, I don't care about your opinion. I'm here to learn and hear different opinions from different people. If you don't want to help that's ok for me, but please don't answer.
