My Goal Is To Win FootLocker Nationals In 4 Years, documenting on youtube.

My goal is to kick your s$$

Well if you're gonna race me in 4 years :D I guess well see who wins

Don't document your days, you'll get burnt out. Running is a lot of work by itself.

Lots of FL contenders have been running since middle school, it's ok if you didn't, but just be ready to bust your ass for the next 4 years.

Stay consistent, that will be the best advice

Me of course. You won't make it out of your local regionals.

I just started running but hopefully ill get good enough by senior year. By document i don't mean like film every single workout, but just talk into a camera how I felt the day, paces etc...for about 5-6min on 70% of them. And for track workouts actually record them. Thanks for the advice, ill definitely take a hiatus from recording if it is needed.

TBH With my talent level, i wouldn't even be surprised if I don't make it to regionals XD. But if I do i guess I'll see you there bro!

You are a toad

Good luck bro, the word 'talent' is for pussies that find excuses for their mediocre times. I was way slower than you when i was a freshman, because of my relatively sedentary childhood, and barely broke 6 minutes for my first timed mile. Guess what, i am now running 16 minute 5Ks!

Are you trying to build this kids hate flow because if you aren't then you are obviously a 16yr old who is mad that he didn't win his local turkey trot.

To Op- itll be cool to see if you make it keep the thread updated so people dont forget.

The times above do not represent talent. JV level times

Thanks bro, i agree with you. I started at a 10min mile not only a couple months ago(NO LIE!) and nobody ever thought I could get down to 5:10 in only three months. Trained 20mpw in that time, it is the only sport that has treated me well. I appreciate your support. I will get 1st at footlockers THANK YOU BRO!

If starting a channel motivates you, by means do it. Sometimes it's really hard to stay on track. When i was getting serious about running i told my team i was going to run 50 mile weeks (the rest are probably doing 10-15 miles), they thought i was crazy because i was so slow. I started waking up at 5 every morning to run six miles easy. By the next xc season i was the 1st guy on the team!

Does your team care about running or is it full of sprinters? 10mpw seems like what babies do XD. Thats great tho man hopefully ill be running 16's by next year.

Nope it's xc team lol. Only some mildly dedicated runners do offseason, and it's three sessions per week. ( Tempo run, intervals and long run).

OP, are you on a track/XC team? Or training solo? Just curious, since you said you were a reject from your school's teams and that you were going to record workouts and you did a solo 2-mile time trial.

Definitely keep a running log even if you don't end up following through on the vlog thing.

Definitely keep at it, man. Don't listen to the Goals Suck guy. Let people like that motivate you. I used to have dreams like you did in HS. They motivated me from being the second worst on the team freshman year to being the captain senior year. Like someone else mentioned, I did 40-50 mile weeks in the offseason, which doesn't seem like much, but everyone else was probably doing 10-20 mile weeks. If I had only trained harder and been more conjsistent I probably would've been even faster.

There was a freshman in Texas that ran 15:15 for 5K at today's TX State meet.

Also another that ran about 15:33.

Good luck.

Thanks golden miles today is my first day and i have 4 years left, so you're right I should stay consistent and ignore hate! I appreciate the reply bro

I have a team mate that runs 16:29 as a freshman, and 4:39 as an 8th grader XD. I can't compare to these guys they are phenoms but hopefully if I train harder i will catch up!
