I have a 13.22 100m off of 5K training.

*2 Miles 12:35

Congrats on finding running as a hobby! I don't know if 13.22 means anything. I'd guess it is average ability for a distance runner. Keep training and find out!

Thanks :) I know that, from trolling these boards, that a 12 100m off the couch could mean a potentially world class miler, and that Mo Farah's 100 like 12.98. Either way, thanks for responding jccj.

Age?

FAT or hand-time?

Your sprint speed is out of proportion to your endurance, especially considering your training. If you are an age grouper (old or young) you might want to shift to the sprints.

19, and no I'm 5"'7 159lbs. at the moment, http://i835.photobucket.com/albums/zz272/Tyguy80s/webcam-toy-photo52.jpg I'm considering working on my sprint times after this four mile race in Sept.

*ouch* I can't unsee that, lol.

If I were you I would train to break 60 in the 400, a decent benchmark of running. You can always move up later.

I would incorporate weights and low-carb diet to improve your body composition. Also do some other sports, like rock climbing, martial arts, mountain biking, etc..

I XT with cycling and calisthenics when I'm not too tuckered (I do doubles through a training; I'll consider weight training 'specially when I work on my sprint times). I dunno 'bout the Keto diet though. I've noticed my leanest body when I ate 35-55g fat and 500-700g carbs, and 90-110g protein.

EDIT: *"...I do doubles throughout a training week..."

In addition... I love melting eyeballs with that photo XD but would it be possible to getting jogging miles in while sprint training like Owens and Abrahams? I really like getting the miles in and I do enjoy running distance; of course focusing on the shorter stuff is what most all runners begin with.

Good morning everyone! bump

You are a Millennial--how about a TRIGGER WARNING!!If your true goal was to be ridiculed by my 55 year-old female assistant, you succeeded.

If you run 13.22 for 100m off 5k training maybe you could run a 13:22 5k off 100m training

Maybe the switch-up is the exact training stimulus I needed. Aerobic base miles are a waste of time anyways :P

I did another sprint session today. 2 x (3 x 60m with 20m Rolling Start, 110m Walk), 250m walk. The splits were 7.6, 7.97, 9.8, and 7.8, 8.2, 7.9. I'm assuming this is just improvement and adaption of the fast-twitch fibers. My question is that, at this rate considering that I haven't actually lifted weight in a few months and that I'm mostly doing 5k style training, do y'all think I have potential in the sprint distances and should focus on them once this 4 Mile race is over in Sept.? Thanks for reading :)

Maybe you didn't hear this the first time:

Doesn't really mean anything... you're too untrained in general to really see your potential in any specific distance

Farah may have run 12.98 in a 100m sprint because he probably didn't care and was basically doing of for fun. He has run sub 51 for the last quarter of a 5k which is like 12.7 per 100m. 13.22 is honestly average speed for a highschool distance runner. I have never gotten all state in the 800 (despite my attempts) and I can bang out 8x100m averaging 12.5, and these are strides

He is not a millennial, look up the generation brackets
