I'm going to a University for one year, but I am not going to run on a team for my first college to be focused on academics. After my first year I'm looking to transfer to a D1 program (Dartmouth) and am wondering if I can go from an 18:30 5k on 30mpw to a sub 16 5k with 70 mpw and weight loss?
I'm 5'6 140 and I'm going to be around
rofl
2/10
and I'm going to be
And I'm going to be under 130 in race weight...I'm being serious not trolling.
If you can't run a 16:00 5k at 140 lbs, then you suck.
sorry to say but i don't think that's possible if you cant even run a sub 6 minute tempo pace i don't think you will be going sub 16 anytime soon and was this 18:30 done in your trainers or spike if spikes then you gots a way to go my friend
I cant even go a sub 16 pace its hard as hell its not something you just say oh i'm going to go break 16 minutes in one year from a 18:30 pr you know it takes kore than two years with the right coaching and the right dedication and the proper training you don't want to be pushing yourself to hard
and it sounds like you are cranking up those miles way to much have fun burning yourself out
and dude i'm 5'10 and i'm 148 pounds i'm 4 inches taller than you if you want i could show you some of my training

Going from 30 mpw to 70 mpw, along with some weight loss is pretty much exactly what got me from 18:46 to sub 16. It took me 3 years to do it though.
I'm not the most durable runner, so I always had to be careful with increasing mileage too aggressively. I'm also in my 30s so you'll probably be able to ramp up faster than I did.
Good luck with your running, and your transfer.
Thank you, as long as I know it can be done.
lolololol, 10/10, you got someone to bite.

similar boat, but not quite as fast.
went from mid 18s to mid 16s in just over a year by ramping from 30-35mpw up to 65-70 and losing 15 lbs.
Got news for ya, Dartmouth ain't gonna give you a second look with a 16:30. And with an 18:30 you might get a position as waterboy.....if you're lucky.

You don't seem to really get what running is about.

If you can't get under 16 for 5K and 34 for 10K, you might as well get out of the business.
I might as well be, but ill never know if I can get under those marks unless I try. Thank you everyone!
Who said I can't get under those times? I started running sophomore year and my school doesn't even have indoor or XC. Why would get out the business of something I enjoy doing and want to improve?
hey its possible that you can its just highly unlikely that you will be achieving that goal within a year
