Introduce Yourself / I like running
« on: May 31, 2011, 10:47:39 pm »
1:59.0 800 meters come at me bros
eh, I should probably put some real info....
sup guys, I'm a 16 years young and I like to run! basically, a really wise (and fast, 1:46 800 meters, 3:38 1500 meters, 3:58 mile) man told me if I really wanted to get good at the 800 meters, I should work on 2 things in the off-season: endurance and power. for endurance, I'm pretty weak but getting there, twice a day running, 60+ miles per week, etc. but for power I'm sorta clueless! he told me I should measure my vertical jump to see if I was getting anywhere.
thus, hello everyone! I'm here to get a' jumpin! I'm pretty much a raw beginner in this area so I could use some real schooling. my vert probably sucks and I'm only 5'4 so you probably won't see any dunking vids from me anytime soon, but who knows maybe if I get real good I might!
for those who care, here are my PRs
200m: 22.9 (handtimed so I'm probably slower)
400m: 50.6 (handtimed so I'm probably slower)
800m: 1:59.0 (my strongest PR imo)
1600m: 4:31 (never had ANY competition in the mile though, could probably go 4:25 or so)
3 miles cross country: 16:38 (year old PR from last fall, will be looking to smash in the spring--goal of 15:00 3 mile or 15:34 5k)
standing vertical: 22 inches.... not gonna lie it seems kinda low for a guy who can drop sub 23 in a 200. oh well, that means that there's a lot of improvement to be had!
that's all folks!
