i would if i had made it professional as a runner but i had to settle for sub 14 min 5k in trainers, just didnt have enough time to log the 110 mile weeks due to my $250k a year job and my super model wife to take running more serious....
yes numbskull even splits IS more efficient, but since your obvioulsy a f*cking moran you didnt read that this guy runs a 48 but 2:01...which means he doesnt have the aerobic STRENGTH. so yes if he had MORE TIME it would be the most logical to improve his strength to be able to run EVEN SPLITS. but the problem is he has 2 months. 2 months is not even close to gain any aerobic strength to be able to run 25/26/28...
the OP wants to drop under 1:20 in 2 months, the only way to try to achieve that is to work on what he is naturally good at...SPEED. if his 600 pr is 1:23 off of 48 speed, but his 8 is 2:01 that means he dies that last 2 REGARDLESS.
thats why i gave him that specific workouts to do for the 2 months. that way he can run 49.2-49.5 as fluid and relaxed as possible and hold on the best he can. you are trying to argue with me like im an idiot and dont know anything about running.
if he had 6 months to go under 1:20 then yes there would be workouts geared more towards his lactic threshold, aerobic/anaerobic threshold levels in hopes he would be able to do run EVEN....and then he wouldnt be trying to run 25/26/28, it would be 26/26/26.
like i asked before to the OP, on the 1:23 or any other 600s what has he come through at 400 at?
and for the bragger who says he only ran 52 but ran 1:18 im calling liar on that one. if thats true then you had to have been able to run 1:45-46 and 3:36-37 and i dont think you did that either.
but im sure all you guys know better than me, and had better coaches than me. i dont lie about my times nor make sh*t up about what i might have done. if dude has 48 speed at the slowest 50 flat...until he has more strength...but its prob in his best interest to go out that fast now and get used to it, how many times i saw guys go out in 53 high and wonder why they ran 1:49-50. top pros besides maybe yury and symmonds go out 50 or lower
