Hey guys, I know there's tons of threads around here that are like this, and I know that u guys are often trolls, but can someone give me a ballpark range of what I could run a 5k in during XC?
2 mile pr: 10:42
1 mile: 4:56
800: 2:17
I'm a rising sophomore so I understand that I will probably never have a kick, but I'm doing serious base building right now. Any chance of sub 17:30?
There's not enough information for us to tell you. You'd get better estimations if you provided weekly mileage and a general outline of how your track season workouts went.
Why do you say you'll never have a kick? Plenty of runners don't see a big development in speed until junior or senior year. Don't worry about it.
Your times from track are very similar to my sophomore year, and I ended up running 17:34 in the next XC season after averaging 50-55 mpw over the summer. So, yes, I'd say sub 17:30 is very possible.
