Coach had us do 4 miles easy then we did 22x200 I averaged around 37 for each one. each one had a minute jog rest in between, then weights and 4 easy miles the later part of the morning.

Welcome to the blog! Are your times for 5 K, 1600 and 3200 from around the same time and the same level of fitness? 5K seems to be a good minute slower than what I would expect from the 3200. What is your best 800? What kind of training have you done in the past?

that 5k was during cross of senior year, the 3200m and 1600m was during the spring of senior year. Basically 50-60 miles lots of intervals such as 400m 800m and my 800m pr is 2:14.

Derek:

Saw your post on the forum about mileage/training. Need to see more details to be able to comment. However, looking at your PRs looks like your 5K has a severe drop compared to 3200, that is unusual.

Another important question is your 400/800 speed. If you do not have an actual PR, can you give me an estimate based on your workouts what you think yo could run in those?
