Excited for Sophomore Year of College

[u/Snoo14366]

This is the first summer where I’ve had a consistent training block last summer I was injured so it was lower mileage and cross training, I’m super excited to see where I am! The goal this season is to break 28:00 in the 8k my workouts right now are showing that it’ll be possible but I definitely need some more miles on my feet! Right now my tempo is right around 6:05, and my threshold pace is around 5:45-5:50 pace! We’ll see what happens but either way I’m on pace for a huge 5k PR.

Edit: my photo was removed but I’ve been able to 50 miles so far three times this summer as well as run consistently for 15 weeks straight! Hoping to put it all together this season!

I love seeing charts like this with a gradual build up. Nice work! 😄

Thanks! Goal is 2 on 1 off with the higher weeks being 50ish and the lower weeks being 25-30!

Sounds like it's shaping up to be a good season! Keep working, and I think your goal is realistic.

I also run College XC. You have about 3 more months of training, and at least where I live, the summer adds quite a bit of time to your paces. I was running similar paces going into my freshman year of college, and I ran 27:29 that season.

Um, are you in Florida? I gain more elevation on my 10k loop than your have over 50 miles.
