Am I doing ok for running?

Question

Today I ran a little under 2 miles. Maybe 1 3/4 miles. And I did it in 15 minutes. (Not hard-core fast running, but a good pace i kept throuout it all) I did track (for the first time) two months ago, but only the 400m. Now I'm trying to train for XC. Think I'm doing ok? I've only been training for 2 weeks....

Answer 1

I dont know how far that is cos i don't do miles but i'm asuming its about 3ks or 3 and a half ks. If you run that in 15 mins your excellent!!

And the 400m sucks! It is so hard!

Answer 2

yeah that's heaps good, the thing to remember for long distance running is to get your breathing right, and getting into a pace, try next time run it as fast as ur can because 15minutes is really good, but it also  depends on your age. the 400m is a completely different, in the 400m u need to be able to run the first 300m at a really fast pace then a sprint in the last 100m. but it will be good training for the 400m if u run the 2 miles because ur improving ur endurance

Answer 3

That's actually pretty good. Keep up the good work.
