2011 Track (and field) Goals

it's that time of year again.

I'll start:

- healthy as a horse
- consistent 70-80 mile weeks
- race people

indoor minimum time goal: faster than at least one of the following...

- 4:40 full mile
- 9:20 3k
- 16:20 5k

that should set me up nicely for outdoor where i hope to finally start doing work after what feels like an eternity of setbacks.

minimum outdoor time goals:

- under 15:50 5k
- under 33:20 10k

if-everything-goes-perfectly goal:

- 32:24.99 10k (ECAC qualifying mark)

for fun:

- consistent core routine
- improve ancient 800 PR of 2:13
- break 60

Start to run regularly again, maybe break 2 in an open race. Second one is a stretch cause I haven't run in 6 months

Sub 4:40 indoors for the 1600 and then we'll go from there, PR is a 4:43 indoors from last year, I just can't get injured or fall sick and I'll hopefully be ok

Won't be running till this summer, and will be training myself.

So given that situation, I'd be happy hitting 11.4/23.7 and under 2:15 in the 800 when i run it.

Indoor: Rehab achilles and do mileage
Outdoor: 4:40 and 10:20. This is my first time I'll be (at least planning on) doing base training in the offseason before racing so hopefully I can drop a lot of time. Last track season I was basically fat for 75% of the season and not as fat for the last bit. It also helped that I realized I was exhibiting symptoms of mild lactose-intolerance late spring and dropped milk from my diet for the remainder of the season.

Stay healthy
Stay fit through the END of the season
Maintain mileage as appropriate
Double as appropriate
Time manage well
GET SLEEP
Eat well
Run hard when I should
Run easy when I should
Listen to my body and my coaches
Help my teammates out
Get into the college of my choice (well, I should receive admit letters during track season)

Or...51/1:57/4:15 (1500m)
I would be very happy with either set. Hopefully the first will lead to the second.

Aside from that....
Indoor
Not too concerned with times. Getting down under my mile PR would be nice (4:44). If I do a 5k road race, sub 16:58

Outdoor:
Sub 4:30 mile and sub 2:00 800.

and oh yeah.... stay healthy and not burn out

xcrunna

11-30-2010, 10:23 AM

Indoor: sub 4:35/sub 9:10 3K. Hopefully, I can go faster, but with only one day with access to an indoor track I don't know if I'll be training intensely enough to expect more(and to approach the old mile PBs). Going to ramp up to day off every other week or three weeks instead of one and try to do at least 1 race or a second workout a week.

- Sub 9:30 3200m/2 Mile

Outdoor

- Qualify for State in the 1600m and 3200m

with 70-80mpw you should be able to run 4:40 back to back for 2 miles at the minimum.

yeah dude. if i don't have the natural ability to run a 9:20 2 mile off of that kind of mileage then i shouldn't even bother running any more. everyone knows that.

holmdel4life

11-30-2010, 04:55 PM

60-65 mpw and start to do some consistent XT
Indoor: sub 4:45 1600m, sub 10 3200m
Outdoor: sub: 4:40, sub 9:40

Lofty goals for the 3200 but I pr-ed by like a minute and a half from last year in XC with a 16:45 5k on a legit XC course

Believe123

11-30-2010, 10:40 PM

Get back to training relentlessly
65-70 mpw through indoor

Yea, I agree. None of them match up. the 4 and the 8 are from 2007 (although I've tried breaking the 8 a couple times in the last couple years) The mile though is from this year.
I have no speed:(

not run any 10k's whatsoever

always a good goal^

Indoor:
800: 2:00 (most likely on a relay leg, we'll see)
1k: Sub-2:40 if i run it
1600: 4:27 (priority)
3200: 9:53 i guess (school record). Havent run one since i was rockin an 11:28 sophomore year.

Outdoor:
800: 1:58
1600: Sub4:20orbust
3200: 9:45? 9:40?

Competitive goals are to at least give myself a shot at making state in the 1600 indoor and out. Just want to be in the running with 250 to go, make a move and see what happens. In spring my team should also have a shot at some shool record relays once our top guy comes back from basketball.

why would you limit yourself like that? that's like saying you want to break 4:30, but you really want to avoid breaking 4:20 because that would just be too good... :confused:

Indoor: rehab ACL and meniscus. build up to consistently doing some 5-milers to have a base fitness while i can't sprint.

outdoor: 6'10" HJ by the end of the summer as well as sub 50 in the 400. not on any team, so i have no deadline pressure

it proves nothing, just like your post. i was simply demonstrating the absurdity of drawing a sweeping conclusion (e.g. "mileage isn't a big deal") based on a single completely uncontextualized anecdotal statistic.

Top 3 at the State Finals for 1600m. (I think it'll take about a 4:16)
^That's like my ridiculously hard goal that would be amazing to hit.

More realistically:
Indoor:
1:59 800m
4:25 1600m
For either I would like to make the fast heat at State.
Outdoor:
1:56 800m
4:20 1600m
For either I would like to make the fast heat at State, preferably the 1600 because I feel that is my strongest event.

The most important thing for me is achieving the place/competition goals like doing well at Conference/Sectionals/State etc. The times will come.

This is funny.... You say in your profile your 100m pr is 10.94. I'm calling shenanigans.

Funny cuz here it says your 100m PR is 12.41, 200 is 25.53, and a 66 second 400. http://profiles.berecruited.com/athletes/athletics/83337

Milesplit doesn't even have half the results from my high school career due to the fact that my name is routinely slaughtered in entries and most meet results weren't even sent to milesplit (maine used an independent site, sub5.com for a lot of HS meet results) until recently. I will give you that I sucked most of the time/was incredibly inconsistent my senior year. I was lazy as **** and apathetic and it showed.
The milesplit profile times at the last link were last updated, based on the 11.62, sometime in 2009.
During the summer there are numerous small meets all over the state. I've run in a bunch of them since junior year, and only ever been able to find the results of one from 2009 online. It was at a local meet this summer (either the last week of june or the first week of july) that I ran my 100 PR in a time of 10.70, handtimed. The conversion comes to 10.94c. It was probably like a +4.5 wind, but that obviously wasn't being recorded.

This summer I'll be running at the same meets, and I'll make sure to insist all the results go online on a site called stalkedbygreghamalian.com just for you. I am flattered by your efforts at discrediting me, though.

indoor:

- maintain 70+ mile weeks all winter, core routine, plyometrics and hurdle drills
- maybe run a UW meet with little to no preparation and hopefully go under 4:20 or 15:20
- if not a UW meet find a fast road 5k and go under 15:20

outdoor:

- maintain 70+ mpw
- peak at the end of the season instead of one month in like I did in XC
- get enough sleep during AP testing

minimum goal (ideal)

Why the need to call him out on this thread. I mean I would understand if he was trying to boast about how fast he was on a thread he made or claiming some outlandish PR but really? At this point you are just trying to incite something. Especially by going out and trying to find out every recruiting website he has been on.

Well, I was confused as to why his PR was 10.94 and his goal was 11.4, so I did some research and what I found was completely inconsistent with what he said. Maybe he did run a 10.7 in some meet where the results weren't posted, but O find that extremely hard to believe because nowadays nearly every meet posts their results.
As to inciting something, that was purely SprintsFTW19 by consistently negging me. Sure, I understand I'll be negged for dumb and bad posts, but about 70% of my negs are from him.

You can also use the fact that milesplit is almost always horribly wrong. It thinks my 1600 PR is 4:40 when it is 4:27. It also thinks my 5k pr is 17:05 when it's 15:50.

The point is to ghamalian that you can't trust these random websites that have people's "PR's" recorded. I'm actually confused as to why you would research him just to expose him, I don't think he is going to lie about how fast he is.

I researched him because he was saying I was a sh1tty distance runner (4:42, 10:16, 16:25) so I wanted to see what he ran for times (and I was especially curious after he said he wanted to run a 11.4 after 10.9 was his pr). After seeing that the time he said he ran was almost a second faster than his PR in the results I found (junior and senior year of HS, all his team meets), I wasn't going to let him get off that easily. I mean, if he can produce results that show he ran 10.7 hand time I'll believe him, but until then I won't.

Not even remotely true, especially in Maine.

All your posts are dumb and bad so I don't know why you're complaining about being negged.

I don't need to produce anything for you. If I were going to lie about running 10.94, why wouldn't I also lie and say I run a 22 second 200 and a 48-49 400? I've literally negged you like 3 or 4 times, and they were all because you're a douche with an inferiority complex, and all of this proves it. You could have been a sub 4 miler, I still would have said you were a ****ty distance runner, because I know you're an insecure little bitch and it would get to you. You're so insecure that me saying you suck online prompted you to go through the trouble of trying to find all the results from all my meets to try to "expose" me, and despite being wrong you're going to go "lalalala show me the results" and cover your ears and stick your tongue out because it will make you feel better about yourself, but you're still just a whiny little bitch and everyone here knows it.

True, I'm primarily going to be running it at duel meets. I think I was more conservative in my goal since I never really ran it as fast as I could have last year.
My PR was from a dual meet the day after a 12 miler with no competition.

All are quite lofty. In training, I'd like to stay healthy and get up to 70 mpw for a while before the season and average 60ish until championship meets. Sub-4:30 would give me a good shot to place well (or dare I say win?) at sectionals. It could get me to state, depending on the nature of the regional race.
assuming you're from NY, what section are you in that 4:30 gives you a shot at states?

Also, 4:30 is quite a bit better than 10:00. I'd say 4:30 is worth Sub-9:50 easily.

These are comparatively embarrassing, but:
-Break 2:04 in the 800 to net our team's Soph record (I have no idea if I'm capable of this, so we'll see. On one hand, I've started working on my core and I've upgraded to much better spikes, so that will help shave off 4 seconds; on the other hand, I barely ran over the summer (7 weeks straight of not running, to be exact. Don't ask) and my XC times were pretty slow this season; on the other other hand, I always run really slow in XC, so it isn't really a proper indicator of my 800m potential (Last year I ran 19:08 in the 5k but 2:08 in the 800m, which is quite the disparity in times.); on the other other other hand I am thinking about this too much.)

-Score at States (this sort of goes along with the above goal; yes, 2:04 probably is fast enough to score in Maine)

-Be the top Sophomore in the state for the 800m (this won't happen considering my competition, but it's something to strive for.)

I don't want to set a firm goal for anything until I at least have a benchmark from my first race, mostly because it is going to be a huge mystery what kind of shape I'm in. I've never started from as far behind as I am this season, but it might be a blessing in disguise.

Anyway, my definite goal is to PR in whatever events I focus on, which shouldn't be too hard, given my PRs are all either ancient or from very early in seasons where I promptly got sick and/or injured and stopped improving. Most of my PRs since high school are from when I wasn't even in shape, so my goals, apart from the REAL goal of just being healthy, will actually be much quicker. That being said, baseline minimum goal is just to be PR and be healthy. I'm a JR in college, with current PRs of:

800- 2:02 (sr year HS)-- I will almost certainly not run an 800. I've run two since hs, both as workouts, and my speed is not my strength, even more so now than then. Whatever.

1500/1600- 4:39 (1600, sr year HS)-- I'd like to at least run the 1500 outdoors once this year to knock of this PR equivalent (4:19ish for 1500, if I'm not mistaken. Should be VERY easy to improve on)

3k- 9:20 indoors last year. Very first race, very out of shape. Got very ill afterwards and did not improve at all. I know I can run a LOT faster, but I'm not being specific until I get a baseline and some better fitness under me.

5k- 16:17 (FR year, college)- PR is from the very first 5k I ever ran after being injured for most of that winter. My 5k indoor opener last year was 16:19, directly after which I got sick. I can run much much faster than this. Most likely, the 5k will be my primary even outdoors.

10k- 34:28 (last year)- I only ran the 10k last year because I was in miserable shape after missing lots of training due to illness and its very easy to qualify for NYSCTCs. I ran 34:28 as a hard progression workout at our home meet in March and promptly failed horribly and ran a 34:52 at states, which is pathetic. Although the 34:28 was easy, I have no desire to run the 10k again this year, so I probably wont PR in that either.

Wow, that was way too specific for such broad goals.

Sparknotes: Run faster than my PR in whichever events I run. Once that minimal feat is accomplished, run CONSIDERABLY faster, something of which I know I am very capable.

LJ: 20' (eventually 22'6)
HJ: 6' (eventually 6'6)
100: 11.8 (eventually 11.2)
200: 23.7 (eventually 22.5)
400: sub-60 (i've ALWAYS been between 61 and 63 at time tirals, eventually 53.5)
800: 2:10 (eventually 1:57)
5k: 18:45 (someday 16:30, lol!)

My current PR's are:

TJ: 42'
LJ: 18'7 (though somehow I have a 20' first TJ phase into the sand)
HJ: 5'10
200: 24.5h (only 200 senior year, down from 27.57 - my only 200 junior year)
400: 61 ish
3200: 12:10
DISC: 108'7 (only time I did it in HS)
5k: 19:54

As it stands, I have mush work to do!

By May kick asses on both sides of the track.
Set myself up for a monster cross country season next fall.
The first three are requirements for anyone who wants to be a quality college runner. Perhaps you could tell us what #4 means? As to #5, get more specific. What would be a "monster cross country season"? Make the team, score at conference, make nationals, score at nationals? Goals become real when you have some accountability. What's your target and who are your "accountability board" members? Just trying to help.

I would imagine so, but the kid was clearly stronger aerobically as a 9:00 3200 does not match up at all to 4:12 mile. Id put it at 4:05.

Indoor Goals:

-Enter the season with decent base mileage. At least 100 miles in the months of January and February.
-800 in 2:09 (help our 4x8 team qualify for indoor state) *2:14 PR
-1600 in 4:56 *5:11 PR
-3200 in 10:25 (indoor state qualifying) *10:52 PR with no base last year

Outdoor Goals:

-400 in :56 for shenanigans at a meet. gosh I have no leg speed haha *1:00 PR
-800 in 2:04 (possibly go for state w/ the relay) *2:09 PR
-1600 in 4:42 *4:58 PR
-3200 in 9:59 (state qualifying is 10:01) *10:34 PR ran it once outdoors

Any words of advice? I am staying faithful to my training and since cross season I have avg'd 100 miles/month in nov-jan. I'm a Junior and am finally going to focus on running, even though for the last 10 years I have been all about wrestling. Of course staying healthy and injury free is key, and my number one goal.

My junior year, I was running 250 miles a month. Run more miles IMO. Unless they're all at 6:20, I don't see your times dropping dramatically on 25 miles per week. Just a tip, though.

Sorry, I forgot to mention my in season training. As soon as indoor starts we are bumping my training up to 30-35 mpw with 2 days of some sort of speed work, a tempo, and one long run. Outdoor season is projected to be around 40 mpw with a similar plan. Of course it alters with the outrageous meet schedule that high schools have. This is all done with only running 6 days a week as well.

QFE for the first two.

My suggestion is try to slowly build into 50 mpw or so. 40 is slightly low for that 3200m time, but I'm saying this to encourage you to train smart and well to achieve the time.

I think you should be doing 10 or 11 mile long runs on Sundays, at whatever a nice, conservative effort. Now by "conservative" I do not mean "easy", I mean a pace that will keep you at a good effort that really works your body, yet easy enough to where you could still talk to someone with little trouble while you're running.

Indoor is our main collegiate season...

Main goal: Race well and mix it up in every race I'm in.

1500m: Q for nationals (auto is 3:52)... I've run 3:53 so far this year. Finish top 5 in conference.

1000m: Q for nationals (auto is 2:25).. I've only run 2:33 so far (Pr is 2:30 from last year) but that was doubling back and winning by 9+ seconds...1:53 800m is probably more indicative of the shape I'm in right now.

4x800m: break 7:45.. individually, run 1:52.

Are you D2? Damn, 2:25 is awfully fast if so..

3:53 is a pretty good shot of being in already, depending on how the depth charts line up.. Even if you run 3:52.x and don't get the auto, you might be in anyways.

ILrunna

02-06-2011, 12:03 AM

Outdoor:

9:30 3200
4:2x 1600
sub 2 800

Any tips? Coming back from a right leg injury. Sorta ruined my base in my opinion, was out for a month. Crossed trained decently. Starting up at 30ish miles this week, going to bump back up to 50 miles the next 4 weeks.

I know I have plenty of time until April/May but I'm mad I lost a month of running. Last season PR's: 10:31, 4:40, 2:10 off a crappy 20mpw base, and excessive speed work. Definitely going to be smarter this season.

When should I start doing speed intervals? Should I just hold off until March? I'm planning on just getting solid mileage back in over the next month so..?

Nope... Canadian university athletics (CIS). I'm hoping that time gets me in... they run straight finals though and only 12 athletes qualify. I think I missed my boat on the 1km though.. ran 2:28.2 this weekend by myself at my one shot at the distance. It was supposed to be a competitive race but it didn't pan out with a bunch of scratches.

Be able to run 50 mins a day at around 7 min pace without feeling tired/getting sick from it. Repeat for the rest of eternity.

Maybe run a road 5k in 17 mins and if I am feeling ambitious maybe a goal of sub 16?

Note: I do not run anymore, I haven't ran in 7 months

02-08-2011, 11:33 PM

after failing to even get under 17 in my season 5k opener it seems appropriate to revise my goals. all the old ones are out the window.

- don't blow monstrous cock at running.
- maybe get more than three hours of sleep on a weekday once in a while.

NEW GOALS:

build-up slow over the next 10 weeks from 44-70 miles a week. stay relaxed, feel good, and address some mobility issues in my hips/hamstrings.

be fit enough to rabbit the 10k at our home meet in April somewhere between 20:00-20:30 for 4 miles, whatever it takes.

by the middle of May I want to be able to rabbit my brother through 2 miles of a 5k in 9:25-9:30 and feel pretty controlled doing it.

overall, take the steps necessary to be a factor within our conference next fall, and put the last 18 months of failures behind me.

Indoor Goals

400 - anything sub-60
800 - anything sub-2:10
mile - 4:35
3k - 8:50
5k - 15:20

Seeing as my indoor season is over, I figure it's time to evaluate my season.

400 - 58.0
800 - 2:08.0
mile - 4:38
3k - 9:03
5k - 15:25

Overall happy with the season, I ran pretty close to the times I wanted to while keeping the focus on the 10k outdoors (steadily building my mileage throughout the season. this week - conference championship week - looks like it's gonna be my highest mileage week so far this season).

Outdoor goals
1500 - doubt I'll run it, but if so, anything under 4:15 will do
5k - 15:10
10k - 31:30 - my real focus this season, if I can run this I won't care if I don't get my other goals.

02-17-2011, 11:40 PM

Only indoor goals left are sub 8:44 3k (school record,) and placing top 5 at conferences in the 5k. Ran 15:28 solo until the last 1k, and I slept hardcore and zoned out, wasn't uncomfortable at all that race.

Outdoor Goals:

1500- sub 4:05

3k steeple- Qualify for nat's, or as close as possible. (At least sub 9:15)

5k- sub 15:00

Since my mileage has been decently consistent, with really great workouts, I feel ready and confident about these goals. I ran 8:54 as a season opener, after only two weeks of real training since cross ended. I feel ready to be able to hold 4:40 pace for a 3k.

to review the season thus far
Indoor is our main collegiate season...

Main goal: Race well and mix it up in every race I'm in.

I think I accomplished this. The worst I finished in any race was 3rd and never lost by more than 1.5 seconds

1500m: Q for nationals (auto is 3:52)... I've run 3:53 so far this year. Finish top 5 in conference.
Still not sure if I've qualified...I've run 3:52.43 and auto is 3:52.19....I need ONE person to scratch to be in

1000m: Q for nationals (auto is 2:25).. I've only run 2:33 so far (Pr is 2:30 from last year) but that was doubling back and winning by 9+ seconds...1:53 800m is probably more indicative of the shape I'm in right now.
Qualified with 2:25.92

4x800m: break 7:45.. individually, run 1:52.
we ran it once and then one of our key legs got injured...went 7:49 and I split 1:53

Nationals still coming up but pretty successful season so far!

-Sub 60 400 (I know I can do it, I just haven't run one outdoors since I ran 60.6 Jr year of HS)
-Sub 2:05 800
-Sub 4:40 mile/Sub 4:20 1500
-Run a 5000 and not have it suck completely (16:40s would be nice though)
Post indoor re-assessment:
Had a bout of tendinitis in my knee which interrupted my base but it has gone away gradually and everything else has been fine.
400: ran a 4x4 leg once at our first meet in 61.x, never did it again. It has to happen eventually, and soon would be nice because our 4x4 is so bad I could help it if I can run at or under 55.
800: ran 2:13.96 with a terribly slow first lap (34). Might run it one more time this weekend at a last chance meet. Unsure if I am doing it outdoors but I will stick with 2:05 as the goal.
Mile: ran 4:52.23 with a big positive split (2:21/2:31 halves). I think low 4:20s are possible for the 1500 if I improve going into outdoor.
5k: Haven't run it yet. Probably could go at least under 17 right now, maybe mid 16s by the time I run one outdoors.
Steeple: Decided I am doing it. Goal is to not fail the first time, and then eventually in the 10:30 range. Reach (far reaching) goal is to score at conference (8th was 10:12.87 last year).

it sounds like you're either a sprinter who has been wasting his time dabbling in the distance events this year, or else you're a distance runner who has absolutely zero understanding of what the 400 is. if you can come anywhere even remotely close to a 50.0 400 then you should never again bother with those events from 800 on up. a 50-flat is infinitely superior to all your mediocre mid-distance times. not trying to rip on you, but you seem confused about something here.

similar situation with you. as distant as your 10:30 steeple goal seems given your current PRs, your plan to drop 6 seconds in the 400 is at least 10 times more distant still. you should certainly be able to break 60 one of these days, but a sub-55 second 400 would be a better performance than a 4:50 mile, and as far as i can tell you are no sprinter. keep it realistic here. just to put it in perspective, a 6-second improvement in the 400 is roughly equivalent to a 30-second improvement in the mile. so when you're a 4:20 miler, maybe then you can come back to this sub-55 business.

1000- 2:44.74 (qualify for states)
800 split- 2:04

Indoor recap:

800: 2:09.8 split leading off a slow relay in a slow heat where I was ahead by 3 seconds the entire way, basically tied my pr from last spring

1000: 2:47.73, dropped a significant amount from my less than stellar 2:58.x from last spring but still missed my goal. I think my time converts to a faster 800 than my PR which gives me hope for the spring.

Goal for Spring

800- 2:04.24 a.k.a. states
that's really it, last season of high school, states or bust
if possible i wouldn't mind running a decent mile or 400, but 800 is all that matters

I've heard steeple times are roughly equivalent to 2 mile times? 10:30s would make sense assuming I get a good amount of hurdle work in. Not saying I plan on dropping a 55 this year either (though it would be nice), just commenting on the futileness of our 4x4 and the fact that we have no good sprinters.

I've heard steeple times are roughly equivalent to 2 mile times? 10:30s would make sense assuming I get a good amount of hurdle work in. Not saying I plan on dropping a 55 this year either (though it would be nice), just commenting on the futileness of our 4x4 and the fact that we have no good sprinters.

i'm not saying you can't run a 10:30. not at all. i'm just trying to give you a better understanding of what 400 times mean because you clearly have a somewhat warped perspective of what those times really indicate. i'm not trying to be mean when i say you will almost certainly never run under 56.0 in your life. it's just not that easy to improve your speed, especially if you're focusing on longer events like the steeple. in all honesty, i think you have a better shot of running a 4:25 mile before your running career is over than you do of hitting 55. and if you have a realistic sense of your own abilities, you can probably see how putting that kind of a goal out there at this point sounds pretty naive.

of course this is all dependent on two assumptions i am making (based on prior posts you've made) ... (1) that you're a frosh or soph in college and (2) that you have been training at a decent level (40+ mpw, structured workouts, etc.) for a decent amount of time. if on the other hand i got this wrong and you are actually a freshman in high school who has never run 20 mpw, then the sky's the limit and you could easily (though still not necessarily) be running sub-55 within two years.

you will almost certainly never run under 56.0 in your life.
http://images2.memegenerator.net/ImageMacro/5243727/Challenge-Accepted.jpg
Seriously though, the fact that I never run it (1-2 times a year) and that it is almost always my 2nd or 3rd race makes me think that I could drop a few seconds if I put my mind to it and actually did some serious speed work. And the fact that you care enough about 400 PRs to write 2 longish responses questioning my judgment makes me lol.

I want to completely overhaul my stride such that my foot lands directly underneath my center of mass. I realized that my last switch to a forefoot strike did more harm than good because I wasn't doing this. But I would also like to run some PRs as usual.

it sounds like you're either a sprinter who has been wasting his time dabbling in the distance events this year, or else you're a distance runner who has absolutely zero understanding of what the 400 is. if you can come anywhere even remotely close to a 50.0 400 then you should never again bother with those events from 800 on up. a 50-flat is infinitely superior to all your mediocre mid-distance times. not trying to rip on you, but you seem confused about something here.

I would set that goal at a slower time for the 400 but I am just trying to get a shot on being on a really good 4x4. I will set my goals high for the 400, and keep the rest realistic. The sprint program at my school is far superior than our distance program.

if you think i actually care about your 400 PR you are still misunderstanding my posts. those rants were just expressing my frustration with ignorant distance runners who know literally nothing about races under 800m and make silly goals that make that ignorance evident.

an equivalent example can be found in BlackIrish's LOL-tastic 2-mile and 5k time goals. the pace for his 2-mile goal is actually SLOWER than the pace for his 5k goal. this is a good example of a "sprinter" who is incredibly ignorant about distance events and makes silly goals that make that ignorance evident.

in both cases i am just exposing the individual's particular bias and accompanying ignorance so that they will at least be able to recognize their bias.

so stop taking it so damn personally.

Why? Many of you guys would rip on someone if they had outrageous goals for distance events, he's just pointing out the same for the 400m.

Show'EmTheRopes

02-28-2011, 04:07 PM

I think its fair enough that he is frustrated. I hear distance runners quote 400m PRS or what they "could run" for a 400 all the time. It cheapens what real sprinters actually accomplish over 400m. The same would go for a 50.X guy saying they could run 1:55 without ever having run one.

I have a lot of respect for guys with the wheels to run sub 50 in the 400. I know I'd be hard pressed to break 53 in an open 400m race.

It's significantly easier to take an 800m time and put it in 400m perspective. With the average distance runner's strength/speed, you take the average 400m in the 800 and divide it by two. The pro's can get it down to about 4 seconds of a differential, with a lot of strength. Even most of the pro's stay right around that ~6sec mark though.

I at one point had a difference of 6.01, to the hundredths. My PR was 1:53.62, and I had run 50.80.

This is fact, not trivial evidence.

I'm sorry, you're right. You aren't a sprinter who doesn't understand distance events, you're just a dip**** who doesn't understand anything, period. Even someone who knows nothing about running can figure out that an 11:00 two-mile is slower than a 17:00 5k and therefore is an absolutely retarded pairing of goals. But unfortunately realizing that fact does require a functional brain.

Well played sir :D

I think okko was insinuating that you aren't going to realistically run the same pace for a 2mile as compared to a 5km. There is bound to be some slow down in there somewhere.

The goal could have been set up like... he only runs a 2mile midway through the season, and the 5km comes at the very end of the season. So the 2mile could be a bit of a stepping stone. Just my 2cents.

Probably won't compete at all in 2011, but I'm trying to get into decent shape these next 2 months. Then in summer, I'm going balls to the wall with training. Hoping for some serious results next indoor season.

Goals for summer:
-Lift 3-4x a week
-LOTS of plyometrics
-Sprint workout at least once per week (hills, 200s, etc.), no more than twice a week
-Long run (for me) once a week/every other week
-Martial arts training 3+ times a week
-One day in the week strictly for cardio (will probably mix martial arts with other things I do on my own time).
-Core every other day or so

I want to buy a heavy bag to put in my house and use that for some cardio workouts.

Might do double sessions on some days (morning/evening).
Gonna be a fun time :D

Just have to make sure I don't overtrain, but I don't think there will be a problem as long as I gradually build up.

I forgot some really important non time-related goals. Like everyone else, staying healthy is a priority and keeping training consistent. I want to stay consistently in the 45-50 mile weeks even with racing. Before people go into how I need more mileage, I know, I don't do the most and until I do, I'll have limits but being injured most of XC and having a bumpy indoor season cause of illness and weather I don't want to go up too much too quick. If I ever run the 800, I'm shooting for around 1:59 (I almost never run it and I'm not really an 800 guy in the first place)

Ran a 56.0 at my first meet on wednesday in high 30 degrees and rainy then ran a 53.5 today in 60 degrees and overcast, so it was really nice to have good weather today so I can set my goals.
I'm thinkin around 51.8 or 51.8 for my goal and I think it's attainable. Today was only my second 400 ever, so with more races (and experience) i'll definitely be able to bring it up.
Also probs gonna run the 800 about halfway through the season my coach said, and I'm not sure about a good goal for that. Based on my 400 time today (and factoring in improvements in the coming weeks) what should my goal be around?
I was thinking maybe 2:02 to 2:04
ran a 2:06 in cold dry air, so I'm getting really excited about these goals. Our team also has a chance of placing really high in conferences and maybe going to regionals. Split a 61-64 to outkick a private parochial school:D. Our team went 8:24 with a 2:04, 2:06, 2:07, 2:07. Our first and last guy can both go 2:02 by conferences, and I will go 2:04ish and our other guy could probably do like 2:04-5. setting a team goal of under 8:16

Since I ****ed up my left achilles now (both are screwed now) I'm just hoping they are both better by summer so I can get mileage in for cross country. I feel pressured to try to run this track season so I can ensure a captain's spot senior year but I don't think it's a good idea.

If you're really looking for the captains spot, show up to practices even though you're not working out. Help out where you can, give splits in workouts, yadda yadda yadda. Definitely show up, and be of use at meets. Hopefully, your teammates will see that the team matters to you.

I've just never been able to figure out how to run the 1500. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually am beginning to prefer the 3k or the 1500. I used to just do the 1500 because I was god awful at the 3k and had some potential in the 1500. Not to mention I hate running in circles. Now, I'm thinking the 3k is a better option, I am better at it, and it will better prepare me for cross country next year (which is my only motivation to do track in the first place lol).

Seeing as my indoor season is over, I figure it's time to evaluate my season.

400 - 58.0
800 - 2:08.0
mile - 4:38
3k - 9:03
5k - 15:25

Overall happy with the season, I ran pretty close to the times I wanted to while keeping the focus on the 10k outdoors (steadily building my mileage throughout the season. this week - conference championship week - looks like it's gonna be my highest mileage week so far this season).

Outdoor goals
1500 - doubt I'll run it, but if so, anything under 4:15 will do
5k - 15:10
10k - 31:30 - my real focus this season, if I can run this I won't care if I don't get my other goals.

Well, this outdoor season didn't really go as planned. I have pretty much been injured since posting these as my goals. I pushed through several foot injuries (not smart I know) for a few months and even took the whole week off leading into my only race of the season (a 10k). Went out way to fast and pretty much ruined my only chance of a good time. Still managed to break 32 though, but fell short of my goal time. After that it hurt to walk, and the trainers have been very unhelpful as far as figuring out what's wrong. 7 weeks of no running and I'm no better. Seeing a doctor tomorrow to hopefully get things figured out so I can get started on summer base.

Show'EmTheRopes

05-15-2011, 02:48 PM

I'm back to running and [medically] healthy (apparently)!

New goals:

Get in shape for April 1st at Princeton.
Qualify for fast heat at Leagues.
At least a 1:49 split before the spring season is over.
48 split.
3:54 or better.

So it ends up I only had a month and a half from the very start to the end. I went all the way from 2:06 to 4 weeks later at 1:58 (and felt great afterwards, but don't get me started on how bad I feel about that -.-). I went from a 53.High split down to a 51.High. I didn't qualify for Leagues (I almost did, I fell just short of going because my coach chose someone else to go over me, as he should've).

So I had higher ambitions, and I almost continued the season by running unattached races. I think I could've been down in the PR range by the end of it (I would've ended the beginning of June at most), which would've put me roughly 2 or 3 seconds off of my goal.

Overall though, I actually feel really healthy, and I'm very, very excited for big things this upcoming year.

-Don't rush achilles tendonitis aka get completely healthy/stay healthy
-Get some good mileage/training in this winter and during season (60mpw)
-Help my boys break 4x8 school record
-Sub 4:40 1600m
-Sub 10:00 3200m
-Qualify for State
-Run well at State
Well, the main goal I had was to not rush the case of achilles tendinitis. Finally got over that and am 100%! I managed to build up a little bit of mileage with the 2 and a half months of track left once I started to run. Built up from 0 to back up to 60 and was at 60 or so for 3 weeks before tapering.

Wasn't able to run the 800m at all. Didn't want to push it before I felt completely healed. My coach (I'll try not to get started on him. He seems to think that anything over 25mpw is stupid and that Coach Joe Newton is some crackhead for having his runners run more than that!) refused to let me do the 1600m at all throughout the season because that would take his "pet" out of an event. This "pet" was ranging from 4:55-5:00 for the 1600m the entire year and the guy STILL wouldn't let me run... UGH!

Had sectionals yesterday. Ran 4:45 the first mile (felt like I jogged the first mile too) but then just lost it the second mile and ended up at 10:17. Didn't qualify for state then. Just didn't have that strength like I had in my last couple races during xc season last fall. Guess that's what happens when you're injured all winter!

Overall, happy that I'm not injured now and that I'm back to 100%. Wish my coach wouldn't have been a fan of the favorites game and would have let me run the 1600m during the year so I could have been able to qualify for state in the 1600m (4:37 qualifying time for Class A). I know I could have done it yesterday too if he had signed me up for that race. UGH. Ready to start my base for college. NCAA D3 FTW!!!!!!

Only ran the 1500 once and ran 4:52, and ran the 3k and have pr'd everytime, down to a 10:16, and with two more races to go, breaking ten will be pretty tough, but somewhat achievable.

Hit 46'7 in triple and 21'0 in long. Current PR's are 45'5 and 20'1.5

I would up falling short. My best jump of the year outdoor was 45'3.5", and on that jump I was a foot behind the board. Then on my last jump of the year, I scratched, but had them measure it at 46'1".

Long jump turned out at 20'1.75". Look for that to go way up next year

2012 track goals:
800 and 1500: Run fast enough for colleges to recognize me.
5k: I'll probs only run it once, but I want to run under 16:30...I don't think this will be very hard, but I just want to be able to say I did it.

Goal/PR
100 (spring break team octathlon): :12.2/:12.8
200 (if I can convince my coach to let me run one for the lolz): :25.5/:27.8
400 (probably a relay split): :53.9/:55.9
800 (open or relay): 1:57.9/2:07.0
1600: 4:21.9/4:36
3200: 9:39.9/9:58.5 definitely want to at least beat our girls 4x800 school record of 9:46
5000 (if I run one): 15:59/17:00
2000ST (if I qualify for MWDG): 6:14
Qualify for state in either the 1600 or the 4x800, hopefully the 4x800 since we have low 7:40 potential.

I don't really know what I should shoot for. My 3200 pr is like 930 and but it was around 1015 the previous season. What should I set my goal around?

maybe your goal should coincide with making state or being all-state?

800 - 2:12.5
1500 - 4:35
Mile - 4:55
3000 - 9:45
5000 - <16:45

Feel free to tear into me if those times don't really line up. The 5000 is the big one for me though.

I have no idea what to expect this year based on my terrible XC season and my current attempt to train much more intelligently over the winter than I did over the summer but I would be very happy if I hit these times (or below):
800: 2:05 (PR: 2:08.5)
Mile: 4:45 (PR: 4:52.2)
3000: 9:40 (PR: 9:59, HS 3200 PR is equivalent to slightly better though @ 10:38)

That is for indoor at least. I will adjust for outdoor depending on how I do and if I move up or stay 8/15.
