Question about my 2miles times?

Question

I ran a 2 miles in 12:56 seconds and then this morning i ran 2.5 miles in 15:12 Whats up with that its only .5 mile longer. I was tired i mean it was 6 am in the morning. I had only slept 6 hours that night ne ways. could that be it. Im going to run JV this season for cross country wich is 2.5 miles and I am really nervous because my normal 2.5 mile time is around 13 mintues so i dont know am i getting slower during training ths summer. Ive been runing 2miles everyday. Am i getting slower or was i just tierd.

Answer 1

GIVE YOUR BODY A BREAK..... it needs to have a break

Answer 2

yur body is not used to runnin 2.5 even if its .5 more than yur normal run, u need to run 2.5 miles to get stronger when runnin 2miles

Answer 3

dont worry about it if it was only one time. try training with more miles maybe start at like 20 miles a week and build off of that. so run like 3 miles everyday and dont worry about your time. its not important, and you dont need to worry about going fast now. just work on building a base so you will be ready when the season starts.

btw good 2mile time, were you running it like a race or easy because my pr is 12.30 and thats really good if it was a easy/medium effort. if not then that may be why your 2.5 mile time is slower, you might not have been running it as hard. remember take it easy

good luck
