Magic I was going to say holy **** 3:58 is really good haha. But still that's not bad for 1200 either !

Thanks everyone for the compliments

Back to the grind...

bballa, you should try aiming for sub-4 in one mile, it seems possible considering you have 4 minutes and 15 seconds for one?

15 seconds at that point is obviously a gigantic difference but it's something else that a top tier runner like you could aim for!

Re: I just ran a 13:48 5k

Dude, that time is insane! I usually get 20+ min on a 5k.

You're averaging at least 4 min a mile. I'm at 8-9 min a mile.

Congrats on that sick time!

Last summer I ran 3.6K in just under 11 mins. This summer I'm going to try to get close to your 5k time.

I was a runner in H.S. on the JV side and never got under 20, that's damn impressive

Jeez, I used to go all out in cross country in 8th grade. We would train by running 3.5k everyday during lunch. I think even then I had around 15min.

That's a batshit crazy time, congrats!

I never could do track. I don't have the stamina for it. ;__;

Re: I just ran a 13:48 5k

The only stamina we have is for jacking.

Yeah I mean I could probably get close right now. I definitely think I could with a little more speed work. The "line of fit" (i.e. what you should run based on 13:48) is a 3:59 mile, so in theory it is within range.

The thing is, run training is so freaking specific. I train to run 66 second laps for a long ass time, yet running 4 60 second laps is like a totally different thing.

Anyway, we will see. I am hoping to get in a 1500 meter later this season, so that will be my best shot at it (1500 times are easily converted to miles, with a 3:42.9 being equivalent to a 4:00.00 mile).

Usain Bolt is a sprinter, not a long distance.

I know that, 25thhour. Don't antagonize me just because you took something I said 100% literally.

I wasn't antagonizing you, just stating the fact.
