So this xc season is my last season in highschool, im going to be a senior and this is the first summer that i have actually took training serious, running 8 miles a day by the time preseason had come around. My previous times were 20:40 9th, 17:25 10th, 16:50 11th, these times were all with little to no training in the summer (talking about maybe 3 5 mile runs a week or less) so what do u think i could run this xc season? On the track my prs were, 400 55, 800 2:02, 1600 4:34, 3200 10:10 any input would be helpful thanks

WHat training have you been putting in now?

How many miles per week?

However, off the information you've given me I'd say around

15:30 - 16:10 is your range.

I see that you had a massive drop between 9th and 10th grade. What do you think got you there? Summer running or just growth?

There was a kid on my team that ran really fast on the track that year and i kept up with him the last 3 races of the season and trained with him at practice i pr'd 4:48 for the mile that year and mainly the only thing that got me there was hard training in season because i started the season out with a 19:46 and when i started off my junior year i ran 19:17 first race, i started this season off with an 18:16 in 95 degree weather with some serious hills

Wow! It looks like you're a slow starter, but that's not a bad thing in any way. It just shows you need some race experience like most of us do. I could definitely see you under 16, if you stay healthy (physically and mentally), periodize (I probably spelled that wrong.) your training and racing correctly, and make sure you're saving your harder efforts for the races that really matter.

Just keep training smart, and see where the process takes you. If you'd like to report back w/ how things are going, I'd love to help out, and I'm sure that some other LetsRun users would too. Keep training smart, and remember to make your hard races your important races. Keep at it.

Last saturday i ran a17:00 5k on a very loose sandy course, the last hard practice we had was repeat 800s on grass with 200m jog rest my times averaged around 2:20-2:32 and my fastest was a 2:17 i think im ready to do much more. I have a great team behind me and i think we could average 16:40 on a fast course by the end of the season, we averaged 17:11 at this meet.
