Im going to be a softmor in hs and going for sub 17 and just about to end base. Although I was not religiously running tempos once a week I would do a good amount of proggessive runs and end some runs pretty tired. I built up from 30 mpw to my first 50 mile week this week after spending about 3 weeks in the 40's the last couple weeks. My training paces have not improved and I did mile repeats for the first time yesterday and didnt feel any different. What did I do wrong?
climb up to 60mpw after 3 months you'll fly
Bump, advice please.
just run man. 10 miles a day easy to medium that's all
Don't worry, Interval training takes time to adjust to. You will have good recovery, you will see improvements.
you did 4 weeks of base building and expect to run faster? Might as well have done a crash week...
Not really understanding what you mean but I started the last week of June and built up to 50 mpw this week... Please explan.
I really hope you don't think softmor is the correct spelling.
Oh no lol *sophmore...thx
It doesn't come immediately. It takes time to see the fruits of your labor. Be patient it will come.
Also, remember your body hasn't even absorbed the benefits of a workout til 8-12 days after you do it. So basically, at any given time you're running off of what you did 2 weeks ago, that's why we do 2 week tapers.
And you just finished base, your aerobic fitness and endurance is high. Your speed is low, but you have the foundation. Give it time and the speed will catch up and you'll fly. The goal is to run fast late in the season, not early in the season, have patience young grasshopper.
Lol I feel so stupid...I need to get back to school

Literally laughed aloud at this, thanks a lot.
Question, someone with no base with a anaerobic ability vs someone with base and no speed work....who is faster at the end of the season with same workouts and same mileage?
I think it would depend on the race distance? I think the guy with the anaerobic ability would beat the guy with a base in the the 4k and shorter distances but the guy with the base and no speed would win in the 6k and longer distances. The 5k I think would come down to natural ability. Thats my guess and my two cents!
