<p>"i do not believe you are anywhere near the caliber of jim ryun or alan webb"</p>
<p>actually, webb "only" broke 4:00 his freshman year, he spent 4 years trying to bring it down 15 seconds. That means that he is no where near the caliber nosx, not the other way around ....</p>
<p>Webb broke 4:00 his senior year of High School. He ran a 3:59 1600 split in a relay his junior year, but didn't break 4:00 until his senior year, when he went 3:53.42 (I have a video of the race).</p>
<p>seriously? I thought that Webb was in the 4 quite early, hm... my pardons.</p>

<p>I know what you meant ... but Webb did break 4 minutes quite early ... I think the 4th or 5th US HS kid to do it ... that makes it pretty early even if it was "only" his senior year!</p>
<p>i fractured a metarsal right before the league cahmpionships and districts :(
im a PA runner, and i missed all of winter, im just starting to run again now, i missed three months thanks to a stupid bone thats 3 inches long, i was making amazing progress coming out of a hard summer training
best 5k: 16:16 was predicting a sub 15:30 at districts and top 25 finish at states :(
best mile was from last year: 4:32, i was hoping to go sub 4:20 senior year but its gonna be hard after taking 3 months off from injury and only having a month until spring starts</p>
<p>i didnt know so many runners were on here, im so excited about running in college and hopefuly dont encounter an injury ever again, where are all teh runners from?</p>
<p>Wow you are a speeddemon! Those are amazing times. I'm sorry about your injury, but since it's not permanent damage, you have many years ahead to improve!</p>
<p>Good job, Speeddemon and good luck. I sent you a PM.</p>
<p>I ran track in 5th grade. I did the 1600 and 1200 meter, as well as hurdles. I was last place in every race, except hurdles one time, when one of the "hurdlers" tripped and fell. I got the most applause in each of my long distance races, though. :)</p>
<p>I was recruited by track. I'm sort of slow though (9 minutes per miles). Hopefully I can condition all the way to 6 minutes per miles.</p>
<p>What events do you run?</p>
<p>hey all you sprinters, how much does running inclines help
ive been running inclines to get a sub-13 time on 100 before track season starts</p>

<p>55 - 7.1
100 - 11.88
200 - 24.4
300 - 39.9

<p>yay for hurdlers =) and long jumpers</p>
<p>sorry to hear that speeddemon608, I have achilles tendonitis and bursitis and its screwing up my first year in college track. It might be as long as 4 months before it heals, which means almost my entire season will be gone. :(</p>
<p>but serioulsy running in college is a lot of fun, i strongly suggest it to anyone, weather you are good or not! Just don't get injured :/</p>
<p>sigh I got an MRI yesterday, it didn't look good...</p>
<p>i do mainly lacrosse, but i do run track in the winter</p>
<p>i'm tryin to get in shape for it, and working on me speed endurance (when you ccan run sufficiently fast for a long amount of time without getting too tired)</p>
<p>Someone suggested a workout like this</p>
<p>Do about 400ms (finish it around 1:30)
jog recovery for about 200m
then repeat and do this about 5 times.</p>
<p>do y'all think that will help my fast run endurance?</p>
<p>I did track freshman (last) year. However, I suck....hehehe. Best mile is only 5:21 LOL a long ways off from the 4:30 runners at the Okinawa regionals meet last year -_______- oh well, I'm being cheap and dropping running this year and serving as the manager for the team. Haha.</p>
<p>5:21 as a freshman isn't bad...</p>
<p>yay for hurdlers... unless you are from WA - then you're GOING DOWN!!!
A lot of this discussion is quite funny; nosx, you are my hero.</p>
<p>I like it how the past... 3 people ignored my question.</p>
<p>Maybe they didn't know the answer. Anyways, I would say 1:30 reps seem a little slow, what are your times and what are you aiming for?</p>
<p>Oh yeah, and if you're just doing 400s, you might want to throw down more than 5. Try 8 or something.</p>
