I am pretty new to running (2nd year of XC, 3rd year of track). im going into my senior year of highschool. last years PR's are a 19:20 3 mile and a 5:18 1 mile with barely any training at all. for the 19:20 i doubt i ever even reached over 15 mpw on a good week. i recently became inspired to be a runner and would like to know how possible it is to break a 17 min 3 mile, and what kind of training i would need to be doing to do so my senior year. Thanks
Dude, no offense but that'd be world record pace. Don't think it's gonna happen. I bet you can be good, just not olympic good. Good luck!
im sorry, but please tell me where in my post that i said i ran or wanted to run olympic times?
Run a lot of mileage more like 30-50 mpw. Also incorporate two a days into it for that extra mileage. Then add long speedwork like 5x1000 not 200 meter sprints.
Run harder, more often, and longer than your used too...
its the easiest step to getting better.
