I've been running 70 mile weeks with tempos, fartleks and a long run. I just ran the Berkeley half and ran 1:16:41. But I am more of a speed guy than a endurance guy. My 400 pr is 53 but more capable of around a 51. so can I break 4:00 1500m this season?
feel free to ask any more questions
Previous 1500 best? Xc PR? 3k/5k pr?
Read this thread for all definitive information about a sub 4 1500 on this site.
It just depends. I ran 51 for 400 (could’ve been faster I guess, I only ran it once) the season I broke 4:00 for the first time and I was capable of running 1:10-1:11 for the 1/2. 1:16.high would’ve been a tempo-long run for me that season.
I’d say you’ve definitely got a good shot. There’s also a chance that you’ll run much faster. If I had to bet money on it, I’d bet on you. You’re definitely capable of doing it this track season, it just depends on if you do the right training.
No
I ran 4:35 mile two years ago with about 30 miles a week and was hampered by injury for a long time. I am much more fit now. I ran 26:32 8k this XC season with severe winds. I don't have an official 5k or 3k PR.
thank you
Thanks! what kind of training were you doing when you broke 4? Your half time is really amazing!
