Hey LRC, I have been contemplating whether to just give up distance and focus on sprints. Without any sprints or speed training, I can run sub 36 for 300m and sub 23 for 200 (during practice) which may not be elite but is not terrible. Ive have run 1630 for 5k, 157 for 800m, and 49 as a relay split (usually the 4th event I do during a meet) should I start working on the 400.
1. How old are you?
2. What's your training consisted of thus far?
3. Most importantly, why do you run?

Im 21, running about 25-30(off 5 days),
And I run to win
Are you in HS? You obviously have some talent. With your speed and 16:30 5k ability I'm surprised you aren't running in the low 1:50s for 800.
You should not focus on sprints. You should focus on 400/800 or 800/1500 training.

I haven't raced since hs which was 3 years ago but I still keep the same training regime I did in hs. And for sprints I meant 400m range which isnt a sprint. But doesnt really require much mileage
Just to be clear I meant 25-30 off of 5 days of running. Not 5 days off
You should run the 400 and the 800 meters.
