Ok so I am a sophomore in hs and just finishing up track. here r my pr's:
5k: 16:35
3200: 9:54 (hopefully will drop this to mid 40's next week)
1600: 4:35
I don't run the 800 but I bet I could do it in the mid 2:0x's
based on this do you think i can break 16 with a hard summer training plan ahead during xc season? run about 50 mpw during the summer.
No doubt. Only a matter of time.
on a flat course probably. with 4:35 mile speed, you better be under 9:50 for 2 miles though.
if you can run 9:45, then sub-16 is easy (with good conditions). when i broke 16 on the track i was probably in 9:50 3200 shape and 4:37ish 1600 shape
Are you me? Because you sound a lot like me.
Soph - 10:01 3200m, 4:35 1600m, and 2:06m 800.
I've been putting in around 35-40mi, so if I increase my milage to around 50-60, will I be able to go 15:50?
Yeah, man sub 16 is a not brainer. That's 5:10 pace or maybe 5:09, so if you can't break it then it's probably because you don't know how to pace. Don't wait till cross to do it though. Jump in a local road race during your base training and get that shit over with.
Sources: ran 16:04 but can't break 10 minutes for 3200.
Well I did 4:31 9:58 15:58
So it's deff possible. Depending on what you're doing for training, I'd suggest some 8x200 like a sprinter would or some 1000s done with lots of rest. Worked well for me considering I had little foot speed the summer before I broke 16.
