Official High School mileage and racing thread 8/17-8/23

@ehc - Thanks man! Equal rest means that however long it took to run that interval, that was the amount of rest you got. So I got approximately 3:26 rest after each 1,000m.

@KBXC- Solid week, I am still kinda shocked at how consistent your training is. Nice job dude, and nice 8 miler, it seems to me like you ran well, considering it was 6:34 pace overall. Keep working hard, I know its boring but base mileage is the most important, good luck w/ your training man.

@cheekiichaps- Wow, looks like a busy week running wise. Solid session on Monday, 8 miles on the track would be brutal! I really want to run around 68 minutes for 10 miles this season, and it looks to me as if you're already chipping away at 60 minutes! That's awesome, I think 16:22 for a really early season race is awesome, I hope you keep it up. Keep training hard, your training is paying lots of dividends already which is awesome, I hope you and your team mate end up going 1-2 at league, that would be sick.

Also, I checked out your Youtube channel and threw in a sub, it looks like you're very successful on there! Congrats on that, that is awesome. I bet you're busy now w/ School, running, and Youtube, I hope you manage them nicely.

@cheekichaps Woodbridge invitational? I thought most of the people on here were from states other than CA. Im going to be running there too. Good luck on breaking 15 30 there. Im trying for anything in the 16 minute range.

Yeah, I'm from CA. What division are you in? And varsity, right?

@TannerD22

Thanks for the kind words! Yeah, doing youtube + school + running is a lot to handle. Especially since I'm in junior year now, all the college and SAT/ACT stuff (and AP classes) is going to get serious now :/

PRs: 5k - 15:58, 3200 - 9:23, 1600 - 4:24,

The past week was the first week of XC training

M - 5 miles easy

T - 30 minute tempo - 2 on 3 off

W- 5xMile at 5k pace, 4 minutes rest. (5:15 5:16 5:19 5:15 5:15)

T - 3 miles easy

F - Hill repeats, 5 sets of 5 at maintenance pace.

Sat - 6 miles easy

Sun - Off

Total mileage: 33 (including warm ups and cool downs)

This week was considerably short on mileage but it's just my coach trying to introduce the new kids to xc

I'm pretty sure we're a division 1 school. I may run as varsity, but it really depends on how i do in the first race of the season which is a week before woodbridge.

Prs- 5k: 18:46 3200: 10:59 1600: 4:57 800: 2:11

Previous weeks: 19, 25, 35, 24, 31, 45, 21, 41, 45

Goal: 50 miles

Mon- 1 w/u 5k tempo in 21:36 1 c/d...5 total

Tue- 5.5 at practice, 2 when I got home... 7.5 total

Wed-7 at practice in the am, gym in the pm(weights + 2 on the treadmill)...9 total

Thu- 1.5 w/u 2 mile time trial in 12:25 1 c/d... 4.5 total

Fri- 6

Sat- 6

Sun- 13 (long run) felt terrible the last 4 miles, but got it done

Total: 51

Mon- This was not a good tempo, I don't know what it was, maybe the weather? It was 90 and humid, but I'm still disappointed with my time.

Thu- This 2 mile tt was not good either. I think it was from going to the gym late (9 pm) the night before then having practice at 6:45 am the next morning. I thought Thursday was gonna be an easy run. Oh well.

Sun- this long run started out well, found some new places to run. But after I got out of the shade and into the heat I just fell apart. Still very happy with the distance though.

I'm happy with my total mileage this week. I just gotta get used to going fast, well, fast for me, again.

@cheekiichaps- Yeah, I'm also a Junior and this year I need to take school very seriously, it's hard for me to be managing running, school, and a job. But, It teaches me discipline so that's a plus i guess. Have fun w/ your channel though, it looks like a lot of fun.

@chokitoesemayne- Awesome session on Wednesday, a workout like that shows great fitness! I'm curious what you mean my maintenance pace? But, nice week overall, it looks to me like you're very talented and based on your PRs you know what you're doing probably. As for warm ups and cool downs, most people on this site include them in their mileage because they're important and serve a purpose. Keep working hard, I hope to see that 5k PR cut down a little bit by the end of the season, that would be great!

@wsunc23- Solid week, that really sucks that it's still that hot where you live. It's cooled down to about 70-80 here w/ a really nice breeze so it's great running weather in my eyes. I think 12:25 after a hard day isn't a bad time at all, but it's obvious that you're going to crush that this season anyways. Nice mileage high for this build up, that always feels nice. Keep at the hard work, and trust me I know how you feel, my coach doesn't tell us the workouts before hard so I never know whether or not it will be a hard session. Good luck w/ your training.
