Running cubers

Broke my 3 mile PR by 1 second a few weeks ago. Never brought it up but now I’m 17:40 for that.
Also no luck breaking 5k PR yet.

Ok guys what do I do? Comps rarely happen in my area but the one that is near me happens to fall on the same day as NXR.

 

[Garf]

@Cubinginatree I say prioritize NXR.
I say you should do what you want to do. Idk if you will qualify for NXR. What has your season been like?

I do qualify for NXR, my coach would like our whole varsity team to go I’m just torn. I have put so much effort in to running and XC this year so I should probably go. I only get four chances at NXR but plenty more for comps. My season has been pretty good as I have been moving up in the spots on my team. Nothing really to say about time as most of my races have been hilly 3 miles races. Aiming for an 18:15 5k by the end of the season.

Side note, I qualified for sectionals!

I would go the the XC meet. Cross country season is going to be over soon, but comps happen year round.

 

[Garf]

Yeah go to NXR. Hopefully I will see you there!

 

[Exmestify]

Guys I ran a 7:26 1.5 km. Is it good or bad? I could have pushed more at the beginning but idc

 

[Cubinginatree]

Yeah go to NXR. Hopefully I will see you there!

Haha, I am in New York but I hope you do well!

 

[Garf]

Haha, I am in New York but I hope you do well!

Isn't NXR in one place? Like you have to travel for it?
Edit: yeah you do, I was thinking about the national meet in Portland.

I ran what might be my last 5k of my high school xc season in 17:51, 6 second PR from my 5k pr a month ago. My times as of right now are:
17:40 3 mile
17:51 5k
8:43 1.5 time
17:54 2.8 mile time (that was a hard course lol)

County’s was today. I ran 18:20 for the 5k and I am so happy. 5:54 mile pace is faster than my PR mile a year ago. 10th fastest freshman in my County! I am aiming for sub 18:00 at Sectionals next weekend.

 

[Cubinginatree]

Sectionals was today! I ran 18:09 over 5k which is a 11 second PR. I didn’t quite reach my goal of sub 18 but I did very good! I managed to be the fastest 9th grader in my Section! Very happy with my season this year with my improvement(mainly due to summer training).
My 5k PR dropped from 21:36 to 18:09.

Bro your athletic.net profile must look crazy then. Nice job! I only got down to sub-18 this year.

Thanks man! Also I only have one race in my athletic.net profile for some reason. My 21:36 was my PR going into the season and my first 5k this season was 18:59 so maybe I should have worded it differently.

 

[Garf]

Basically last speed stuff for the winter.

 

[Bingus cuber]

I am running a Turkey Trot 5K on Thanksgiving, hoping for sub 25

I got 26:58

 

[Garf]

I got 26:58

Pretty good man. That’s like 8:25 per mile. Solid pace.

 

[NmeCuber]

Running a 5k this Saturday so we'll see if I'm slow or not

 

[NmeCuber]

Any tips on pacing? I kinda have to get sub-24 if I want to win a bet, which I think is doable, but it will be very hard.
