10 round numbers- How many of these can you run in 2013?

pconn062

So I hope this doesn't cause problems but I thought seen as Kurt Godel has disappeared off to the warmer climes of the tri forum I thought I would get us going again on the 10 round numbers as it was one of my favourite threads of last year.
I've kept all the times the same as last year and as Kurt said:

I've decided to keep this challenge as simple as possible- these are all "10 Round Numbers" that a common-or-garden club runner should be able to hit at some stage in their career. Rather than go with ranking, or points, or multiple tables, or whatever, this thread is primarily about hitting these targets, and a bit of comment on what it took for you to hit them.

The times are:

400m - 1 minute
800m- 3 mins
1 mile - 5 mins
3k - 10 mins
5k - 20 mins
5miles - 30 mins
10k - 40 mins
10miles - 1 hour
Half Marathon - 90 mins
Marathon - 3 hours.

I know straight away someone is going to say the 800m is too soft but that's the agreed time (and it's round) and you are free to run as much under 3 minutes as you can, the quicker the better!
This thread is for EVERYONE: men, women, even our latex wearing cousins in the tri forum. If people want to set up their own version with different times then fair enough but these times are for everyone and a lot are achievable by many people here, both men and women.

I'll get us started.

Found last years thread late in the year and loved the idea so going to try and get as many of these as I can this year.

Got the 5k out of the way first, achieved at Tom Brennan on New Year's Day so off to a good start. Race Report

Next up is Dungarvan 10 but I think I might be a few minutes over the hour mark on this one. Should hit the Half Marathon target in Bohermeen on 3rd March.

Please use the table below from now on as I've just noticed the one in the OP has 1k in it instead of 800m, I've changed it now.

Nice start to 2013, shaving 2 hundreths off my PB from 3 weeks earlier. Hopefully I can continue to take that time down before the season ends in March.

On the topic of the 800m why not make it 150 seconds. That's a round number and will be some sort of a challenge. 3 minutes is not a challenge, and that easy target didn't have the desired impact of getting more boardsies running track last year so may aswell make the target a bit tougher.

Well it's a democracy, not a dictatorship so if more people would prefer 150 secs over three minutes then I will change it! There were a fair few 800m times last year so maybe the softer time did help.

Stick down your preference everyone and I'll go with the popular vote.

800m PB yesterday. Still not a great time at all, and way off my 400m time but it's a 3.8 second PB, and a season's best by 4.6 seconds. Done in racing flats also. This improvement is off pure 400m training, with no specific 800m work. At the end of the season I'll have a crack at sub 2:20 (either in a race or a paced time trial) but for now can't take the eyes off the main prize.

PS: Kurt won't be impressed by all the box ticking. A bit of discussion on the performances would make the thread far more interesting.

Agreed, it would be interesting if people could give a little info about their training and maybe a small summary of the race as well as posting their time as it makes the thread more enjoyable to read!

Also I've decided to lower the 800m standard to 150 seconds as technically it is still a round number and it does stand out a bit from the others in terms of difficulty. So here is the new table.

I'm actually surprised that your 56 speed would not get you a better 800m that 2.23? Would you say it is down to the lack of aerobic work involved in 800m training or did you just not push as much as you would in a 400m race? I would have thought sub 2.20 would be a cert with a 56 400m.

Oregano_State

It'll be a while before I can tick any of the boxes, but I should be able for the 400m, 800m, 1 mile and 5km ones at some stage this year. I'll keep trucking with the training in the mean-time.

A few things:

1) I train specifically for 400m. That means no long reps like 600s, 1200s that sort of thing. And certainly no junk slow mileage.

2) I run an 800 sort of flat footed. I haven't trained my body to be able to run on the balls of my feet for anything more than 400m, hence a different running style for 800m.

3) I was using flats as I dont have middle distance spikes

4) I probably went a bit easy in the first lap. Felt pretty comfortable at the bell.

Given all that I don't think it's too surprising that I'm not faster. Nor is it alarming either. I'm faster over 400m than some guys who have much better 100 and 200 speed, and a fair few people have said to me that I tend to always look fresh in the last 100 so my endurance is certainly not an issue. It's the start of races where I'm always found wanting. Just cant get up to speed quick enough, though it is improving.

Having said that, I think a sub 2:20 is there by the end of the season, even with all those limiting factors above.

Personally would be of the opinion that given the 400m is roughly 40% aerobic I would say that there is place for aerobic power sessions such as 350s, 450s, 500s and even six hundreds have there place in any 400m training.

I think would be interesting to compare 100m splits from 200-300 and 300 to 400m in some of your races (obviously 100m splits are very hard to come by) but I think it could read for interesting stats.

There is no doubt that working on achieving maximum velocity has yielded great results for you but I think as this does develop and you increase your acceleration, your endurance will become more of an issue (probably in a year or two) simply because you will have longer to hold near maximum speed and hold off deceleration

There is an excellent website on alot of different sprinting approaches here which may be of interest;

http://www.elitetrack.com/

(may disagree but always good to get different approaches, even if they are ignored simply for the sake of the thread)

Edit: +1 on the idea to add race report links

pconn062

It's funny, the top 800m guy at my club has a best of 1:50 (and a not too shabby 48 second 400m) and during his peak weeks of training can top out at 80 miles a week with lots of easy, aerobic running. Funny how the training for the two events can alter so drastically. I think I would miss just running if I were to train specifically for 400m and would need to add some easy running in just for enjoyment.

Haha, that's where we differ. I just get so bored on long runs and tend to count down the time til it's over. I even find the 2 lap warm up jog before sessions a drag.

But with 2 hard gym sessions, along with 2-3 track sessions plus a day of racing each week there really isn't a whole lot of time left for slow runs anyway.

Good idea with linking the race reports, as long as it doesn't take away from discussion.

I've linked a race report to my 800m but as there happens to be a video to my 400m race I've linked that instead of the race report.

Oregano_State

I'm also training for 400m at the moment. It's a tough event to train for, because it requires speed, speed endurance, and aerobic fitness. There are two generally accepted approaches to take to training for the event: long-to-short, and short-to-long. The choice of method usually should depend on the type of athlete, i.e. a sprinter moving up in distance or a middle-distance athlete moving down.

Personally I think it's best to use parts of each approach; my training for this year has been more of the long-to-short variety (although not completely), but in the gym I've been doing strength training that would be similar to what a 100m/200m sprinter would do. In terms of track-sessions, AFAIK most programmes would include some over-distance work, especially during the winter. I like to do 4-6 miles of easy/recovery running/fartlek in between track and gym sessions, as I think it's important to have a good aerobic base before you start into speed work.

I think I read recently that Michael Johnson used to to 1-2 mile runs cross-country after some of his track workouts during the winter and spring. He also did plenty of 500s/600s.

Basically, there is more than one way to skin the cat when it comes to 400m running, but I'd be very slow to neglect aerobic work completely.

True there's plenty of ways to approach it alright. Our top guy in our group has a PB of 50.1, but the last 2 years was only at around 51. He does a few "long runs" in the off season before starting winter training but that's it. This year however his 800m time has come down from 2:08 to 2:01 which is very impressive progress and it is as a result of doing proper hills in the winter for the first time in his life (hill are huge for winter training) and doing more 600s in training.

Despite all that he hasn't really made massive gains in his 400. He's back to 50.5ish. Think he may be slowly turning into an 800 runner.

I guess it is all a very individual thing. What works for one mightn't work for others. Before this weekend I hadn't done a rep over 400m (I did a 500-400-300 yesterday), but despite that I've done a ton of aerobic stuff. The likes of 2x400, 3x300, 5x200 etc along with those hills are all examples of relevant aerobic work. I personally don't see junk mileage as relevant but that's just me.

What is your recovery between them?

Depends. The 2 x 400m had a long recovery so maybe not a good example. But I've done 3x300 several times off 4 minute recoveries. One particular painful 5x200m session was with reducing recoveries. 5 minutes between reps 1 and 2, then 4 minutes between reps 2 and 3, right down to 1 minute between the last 2 reps. A regular hill session is 8x150m with 3 minute recoveries.

The coach puts us in with the middle distance guys sometimes. Sort of kills 2 birds with one stone. Provides us with more aerobic stuff, and them with some shorter faster stuff.

Oregano_State

Junk mileage is a term for runs that have no purpose, usually because of a lack of a goal for the run, in terms of how it fits into a training plan for the event you are gearing your training towards. I don't think it's fair to label longer runs as 'junk' if they have a purpose, such as aerobic development, or to loosen the legs out after lactic accumulation from a recent track session.

True that. I'd find them as junk miles for me personally but then others could see the benefits. The long runs would have to be run very hard to be of benefit IMO, but in the end of the day I think I'd get more bang for my buck doing 8x150m hills or 4x250m hills, and reps of 300s and 400s.

Then again I'm just training for 400 while you are going the 400/800 route, so longer stuff will naturally play a stronger and more relevant role for you.

ecoli

I think that Aerobic and aerobic power are being used inter changeably here. I have to say I agree with PS (I know shocking) in some regards that there are sessions listed where he is working on aerobic power. I think Sprinter Long runs can be useful in some programs early season no doubt.

Its interesting looking at your log your coach definitely seems to be following a short to long approach which as I said in a previous post should suit you and is exact what i feel you needed coming from a more endurance background of road running.

OS also makes and interesting point in regarding lactate clearance and restoring muscle PH balance to stop the affects of lactic acidosis. I think he was bang on the money regarding "junk mileage". This is a term which is bandied about and annoys me as personally I feel that there is no such thing as junk mileage as long as each mile has a purpose. There are tims to run hard and times to run easy and it is about putting them all together in an overall plan

RandyMann

A bit off topic but in relation to myself, I never do hills, maybe once last year if I can remember but it is something I will be be doing after next weekend.
My clubmate who ran 23.2 indoors last week is urging me to do them and I think I need them. He would be also of the type that does no mileage whatsoever. He even struggles to do one lap warmup/cool down.
He was running high 23 in training before xmas after a seasons best of 24.4 last season. He has done a few weeks of hills on a saturday and all of a sudden he pulls a 23.2 out of the bag. I guess he would run a high 22 now outdoors.
When I was racing I just dont have the staying power/endurance and I am going see what a couple of months of hills will do for me..

dna_leri

I think all 400m runners will benefit from speed work and aerobic work.
Aerobic work may be some easy runs on "rest days" or it may be a sprint "tempo" workout - not to be confused with a distance runner tempo. A sprinters tempo will be around 70% effort, up to 200m with short recovery (1-2 mins).

Too often we think aerobic = Long Slow Run and Interval training = anaerobic.
When you control the pace and recovery, even short intervals can be aerobic.
These kind of intervals are probably best suited to develop the endurance profile of the 400m runner because they can maintain sprint biomechanics.

15 second PB, I'm currently in the middle of JD's 5-15k plan so it wasn't a goal race but I'm happy with the time anyway. Will be doing another 5k in three weeks so will taper for that one and give it a bit more of a crack (ie sub 18). Faded a it in the last mile so need a bit more endurance work.

This was from a 3k time trial down the club. Not an official race perhaps but it was independently timed and had a good number of competitors. If this is bending the rules a bit, let me know. I plan on having a go at a good few shorter distances over the summer so I'm sure I'll be running an official race at some stage,

Things went well in Bohermeen today, 7 minute PB, race report attached. Now hoping to fill in that little marathon box next month all going well. Going to focus on 5/10kms for the early summer months then.

Only managed to break the 20 mins for 5k on this list last year so delighted to add my first sub 90 half this year

Tom Joad

When I started running and following this forum, always looked at getting a time that would allow my name on this list. - Got that yesterday with a 19:35 5k and a) realise I don't have a clue how to do it and b) some fantastic 5k times there - am a long way of them!!

An improved 10 mile time in Ballycotton also afforded me an official 5 mile split of 28:19, so another one ticked off. The high mileage marathon training is finally paying off. Hope to tick off the HM in the coming weeks, and possibly the 5k and 10k. Will unfortunately miss out on the opportunity to tick off the 3k (instead doing a Half Marathon), so could be a struggle finding a 3k race this year. One a positive note, I finished the Ballycotton 10 mile at close to sub-60 400m pace, so got some training in the bag for that one too.

excellent! didnt realise we could use race splits! Blockic if you're reading can you add 17.34 for 5k for me?

edit: could you also add 27.42 set in winter league 5 mile. official chip time.

Yeah, there was general agreement that as long as they were official splits (e.g. chip times) they are ok. Still worth doing the races though.

Not the 10 round numbers. It was a 'big 8' before that , and the guy who came up with the original targets also hit them all

When you say close, how close are you talking?

4:04/mile, for all of nine seconds! More a reflection that I ran too slow for the rest of the race!
