Ummm... im assuming, but my track team isnt very big so its a possibility. Ill definatly be running the 400 every meet and then either the 8 or the 2 every meet. |

Thats not bad... I think one of the worst triple I had was 400 M Hurdles, trials and finals of 4x200 and and Long Jump trials and finals.. and then had a time trial the day after ugghhh
Also at one point had a 4x800 and as I handed the baton off got called over to the High Jump... ran up to the bar and just knocked it off.. _________________ The long run is what puts the tiger in the cat. |

Ran a 800 and a 400 at my scrimmage, not too happy with my times. 2:23 for the 8 which i guess isnt bad for my first 8 every but i am pretty angry that i didnt brek 2:20 at least which i know i could have. I didnt take the first 400 hard enough because i wasnt sure of what pace i could maintain. I did come in 5th overall though. Ran a 58 during the 4, not too bad, came within .5 of last years pr. But overall im not happy with how it went. |

Just updating. We won our first meet last week. I ran the 4x8 (b team), 4x4(a team), and the open 400. My 8 was in 2:20 and we finished 2nd and i finished 3rd in the 4 with a 57 and my 4x4 finished 1st and i ran the 2nd leg in 59. It was a pretty nasty day for running, low 40s and rainy. Ive got an invitational sat and a meet tuesday against our school's rival. |

Awesome job Steve just keep steadily improving remember its not all about running fast early in the season... Its about being the fastest when the champs come up I think you are on your way... _________________ The long run is what puts the tiger in the cat. |

Yeah, i have definatly been improving. I think i may have finally found my race(s), the 1600 and 3200. I ran the 3200 for the first time yesterday and ran a 11:49, nothing special but i felt good doing it. I really enjoyed running it, more so then shorter races which i have always done. It didnt seem as bad as most kids make it out to be. Well i should be running another one this weekend. Hopefully with fresh legs so i can wat my real good tiem would be (yesterday i ran an 800 and a 400 before the 3200) |

Well... it didnt go as well as i expected, i ran a 11:45. I was aiming for a sub 11:30 but i didnt come close. I think ive realized that i dont challange myself enough during a race. Talking to other kids on the team, they see me having the potential to got sub 11:15, sub 11 and a sub 5 mile easily but it just hasnt happened yet. Mayb im just expecting too much too soon. I just have to get used to running these longer distances and build up the mental endurance i need to run them. Ive got the speed to do it, jsut not the mental will, not yet anyway. |

There's a big difference between sprinting intensity and the distance grind. Some people take to it quickly, others require more time to adjust.

I agree with that. A distance race is wayyyyyyyyyy more different then i thought it would be. But i just wanted to mention that i pr'd in the 4 last night, 57. Im on my way goal of breaking 55 by the end of the season. |

Thanks Dan and i set another pr again last weekend, 56 in the 400 . Im extremely happy with how ive been progressing this year. Ive transistioned well into distance training. So much so that im being expected to be the #3 or 4 xc runner next year w/o ever running it (possibly #2 if i work train enough during the summer, which i am planning on doing). Wish me luck tomorrow, im trying to pr in the mile, somewhere in the low 5s |
