For any track runners out there...?

Question

i have a meet tomorrow, and i am running the mile for the first time in a meet in about a year, what should i aim for if my 800 race pace is 2:25 (i am a freshman in highschool, and i am better at long distance)

Answer 1

about 5:20 ish

Answer 2

oo i know how u feel im a freshman 2...i run the same thing and are a distance guy....just dont think when u race...its all mentall...trust me.. whatever time they tell u..try to go negative and go faster the next 800...i just like feel good and go relaxed  the first 800 and the last ones is where i go hard and do work...especailly the kick at the end...it really ends up who wins the race...race hard and tough...if u think ur first 800 is fast...try to keep the same pace for the 3rd lap and kill the last lap..
