      Okay. Just keep in mind that what we old farts are doing might not be what's best for a high schooler.

      Runners run

        oh yea i know, it just interests me to look at other peoples training logs

          I can do a 7:30 5K, but it doesn't happen often Wink
          2009: BQ?
            Give me a month or two and I'll be running a 5k in 7:30

              Another old fart reply. If you want to race fast--here's the secret...get used to running fast. There's no shortcuts. You get out what you put in. Very simple really.

                  This is a good thing that you are interested in finding out how others train, what their logs look like. Because it means you have a willingness to learn and increase your knowledge of race specific training for your racing distance. I thought instead of just showing you a training program for a 5k I'd try to draw a picture of an effective way of aerobic conditioning. First - Start at a slow pace with low mileage/Build mileage by 5-10% per week until you have a good aerobic base Second - Third - Slowly add in speed, tempo, hills, long run, technique drills, weight training or any combonation Fourth - Prepare for race by decreasing mileage and increasing run pace to some above and some below race pace Fifth - 1-2 weeks before race, taper - step down mileage but keep pace close to race pace Another thing to consider. Level 1 - Develop Aerobic base (build build build) your aerobic conditioning will support all other training throughout your training Level 2 - Maintain Aerobic base (less mileage), Long Runs Level 3 - Tempo (approx. 80% of Max Heart Rate) Level 4 - Speed, Hills (Above 100% of VO2max = Anaerobic) Level 5 - Race Pace (Above 80% of Max Heart Rate)
                    i'm pretty fast, its been a while since i've done my log but just check the archives Cool 5:25 pr 5k
                      OK, I work in km. I can hold 3:50 for up to 10km then I start slowing down. Tongue

                          I was a 6:30 pacer until 2 years ago when we had our son. My running took a back seat and my times went up. Now every time he says "Daddy, let's go run" I jump at the opportunity and put him in the running stroller and off we go. He loves it. We did 7 miles yesterday (after 14 the day before). He talked non-stop for the first 3 miles, slept the last 4, then woke up when we were done and said "we ran a long way Daddy". I just smiled and said yes.

                            Back in highschool my 5K PR was somewhere just over 16:20 (16:23 if I can remember correctly?)... but now I'm training for the longer stuff (marathons and halves) and my 5Ks are a lot slower (and that kind of speed feels pretty awful if you don't train for it correctly!). I'd love to get back to training for 5K and 10K, though.... those distances are really exciting! Nice job with that 4:56 mile! How'd your XC season go?
                              as far as my xc season went, it was decent, it was my first year doing it, (soccer the year before), so i didnt really know how to run the longer distances till midway into the season, then for the state championship meet i was sick, so i definately didnt run as good as i could of, i ended up running my worst time there (19:32 i think), go figure 18:03 was my pr this season, close to breaking 18, but i can deal without it

                                I run for my high school too but you might want to look back at past months since right now I'm playing basketball and there is less than optimal time for running.
