Raced just as usual, my PR’s as a 16 year old are from this season, 2:06 800m and 4:28 1500m. On friday I ran a 2:10 800m and then on sunday (today) i raced a 1500m. It was hot, it felt just like any other race - but i ran 4:45? . Then did the 800m three hours later - 2:17? What can cause a crazy difference like this? I have been running around 2:10 and 4:30 all season consistantly.
Unrealistic expectations.
1. Your season sounds very long. Racing into july? Why? if state already happened, end your season and start training for xc.
2. Check your iron levels
3. Yeah, it's hot.
Maybe Op is British, with seasons like October-March Cross country and April/May-August Track
Yeah, i am british, thank you

You sure it wasn't the runners trots?
OK so mid 80s with 50% humidity is hot over there? OOF
nevermind. not the heat.
Check your iron. choices 1 and 3 have been eliminated
Not enough easy running.
