Any of those times would be pretty good for a female runner from a non-competitive nation. Best of luck to you.

I know i am not good but with 15 i still have some years to develop myself. Which of those times seems the best for you?

800 is pretty solid.

Impossible to say unless you give the country name.

Otherwise you may consider that there are many other Olympic sports which you may excel at.

You should consider Triathlon at least.

What does your Dad think?

none of those PRs stand out as greater than another

keep working hard

you could have potential for longer distances, as for a 15 year old you have run a good 10k and half marathon.

Goal no. 1 should be to get to run at a Div. 1 college in the US. Your best odds on that front are to improve your 5k time so you can score points for a cross country team. If you can get your 5k time down under 16 and your 3k time under 9, you should be able to run for a Div. 1 cross country team.

Long term, the marathon has the most forgiving standard for the Olympics, especially if you are from a small country that does not have a lot of good distance runners.

As for your PRs, nothing really stands out. Everything is very good and shows potential.

he thinks i can get there but he's my dad, that's why i wanted other opinions

thanks for those who answered trying to help. i live in chile. i know that i am not good in US standards but here things are not so competitive and many people get impressed by my times. I am glad i participate here and read lots of stuff about running around the web so I know i am not that good. A friend told me that my 800 / 1500 were way better than my 3,000 and 5,000 and that i should be able to finish a 9.10 3,000m and a 15.50 5k with a 4.14 1,500m best.

but then i've run this 1h15 half marathon and even my dad was impressed (not only because he is my dad i really think he was impressed). So i got confusing in comparing my 800/1500 with HM.

Estas corriendo muy bueno para tener 15 anos. Yo fue el director tecnico de un universitario en los estados unidos del primer nivel (Division I, NCAA).

Si puedes, sigue entrenando fuerte, con mucho calidad (no necesitas cantidad de km) y sigues trabajando en mejorando sus tiempos. Si puedes corres 2'03" en la pista sobre 800 metros, creo que tienes la potencia para correr debajo de 15'45" sobre 5000 metros en 2-3 anos.

Una pregunta: y porque corriste un medio maraton? El tiempo es muy fuerte, y yo tengo mucho tiempo en Santiago en negocios con mi compania y entiendo que hay muchas lomas en mucho de Chile.

Mira, tu papa ha corrido 2h23', y el sabe si tienes potencia para correr rapido, y especialmente para representar Chile en las Olympiadas. Con tus geneticos y tu entrenamiento, yo creo que puedes correr 2h23' o mejor en el futuro.

Estas interesado correr en los EEUU? Tengo muchos amigos que son entrenadores para enviar becas para estudiar en los EEUU y entrenar y ponerse fuerte. Mi hermano corrio con un chileno, Gonzalo Barroilhet en Florida State (el es cubano).

Buena suerte y sigue entrenando fuerte...

Kid, ignore this website and just worry about your training. You're just going to get a lot of BS info (on purpose).As a tip, I would be concerned about a 15 year old running that many events. Pick what you want to run in the Olympics and work on it. Otherwise you'll be lucky to be running by the time you're 19.

I agree with your dad. I think your 10k and half marathon times are most impressive for a 15 year old. I think your future lies in the longer distances.

I was just trolling a bit. Those are actually really solid times for a 15 year-old (much better than I was at that age).

As far as the Olympics goes, that's another story. It doesn't look like Chile sends a lot of runners to the olympics, so I'm sure that if you managed to hit the B standard for any athletics event there would probably be a spot for you on the team. The marathon might be the easiest, not that 2:18 is easy. The other standards look a lot harder (13:27 5000m, for example).

Here's an idea- can you "walk" 20k in 1:24:30?

why would you post this on letsrun...

Your 3k does not match 4:14 / 33:45.

You need a B standard. For now, consistency is most important. Don't leave high school slow

wading thru your horrible spansih, your prediction is he can run under 15:45 by the time he's 17/18? that's your prediction? really?
