went from 2:25 sophomore year to 1:52 senior year in the 800m. Trusting your coach and showing up to practice every day does so much more than you think.
I just did cross country for this first time this year as a high school freshman (context my full team guys and girls is like 13 ppl) and I had gone from a 27 min at the start of the season to a 19:05 by the last race. Ever since that race ive been spending a while trying to figure out how to improve and this absolutely given me some good ideas on how to work on improvement off season, thanks a lot!
Started 9th grade with a 26:30 5k and finished with a 21:16 5k and kept on working during track to get my 2 mile down to 11:30. Still not great but hearing this keeps me going.
Start running 2:30 800s (with 60 sec rest)... total of 4 by mid January (Mondays and Thurs or Friday). Assuming your ran 6 to 8 miles/day... about 40 miles per week post xcountry? You'll be sub 10 mins by May.
@@Tommasini9 2:29 is my 800 pr so this would be a seeing god kind of workout at my current fitness but rn we’re peaking mileage at around 55 So probably come end of season i would do 40 mile weeks and probably be able to complete a workout like that.
stretch mobility and moderate workouts are actually so important. in my freshmen year I joined track half way through the season and went right into hard workouts with no respect for recovery or rest. it took 3 weeks to get patellar tendonitis. it sucked because it lingered for around 5 months and made my sophomore year xc season suck. i ended out sophomore year with around a 19:30 5k, but that injury introduced me to so many different sides of running like mobility and strength. just started my junior year and i am getting around a 16:20 5k, hoping to crush sub-16 soon. dont underestimate stretching and strength, it can take as the very least, 10 minutes a day, but its results are enormous
One of the most motivating videos I’ve ever seen. Seeing someone who can go from a 20 minute to a 15 minute in just one year is insane. Thanks for the motivation! I will use it in my meet this weekend.
I'm not a runner, I'm a D1 swimmer, but I just wanted to say that the message of this video is powerful and applicable to all sports. You know exactly what to say and how to say it. I've watched all of your videos in the past two days, and I have related to many of your experiences as a high level athlete. You are so easy to root for. I'll be tuning in to watch regionals and NCAAs. I have no doubt that you are going to do incredible things.
Learning to keeping the easy day easy made a huge difference for me. I used to be a workout hero every day and as soon as I learned running easy wasn't gonna make me slower, I finally dropped into the 18's. :) Thanks for a great video!
love how real you keep these videos, 2 years ago i ran a 29:37 when trying out for my schools team, last year was 18:13, and now i'm working towards 17:00-16:45 for my junior year, thanks for keeping me inspired yaseen
Keep up the 🔥 content. I opened up the season with a 17:54 5k, which was a thirty second PR from last year. If you put the work in and have the right mindset down the road you will achieve your goals. Love your vids bro and good info.
-Swimmer here. Ive never been a runner, but I gave it a try after reading the Goggins book. Started 8 weeks ago and couldn't run a mile without walking (11:17 is my only logged time, and its worth noting that i was way out of shape). A couple weeks later I'm down to a 7:25 mile and PRed my 5k @ 29:24 and PRed my 10k @59:28 on the same run. PLENTY of room to improve.
Started running two years ago and blessed to have been accepted to run at a d2 school, very undeveloped compared to my teammates and excited to grow😤😤😤
i think its cuz when you stretch, your muscles get stretched out but when you run your muscles contract together to get faster and stronger and when you stretch it makes your body less ready to run (I'm not sure but that's my speculation)
Your advice on creating small goals that help you keep going is really good and it definitely helped me last year and im definitely gonna apply it this season🙏
Dude! Praise the Lord! I am running around 40 miles a week, coming off track sophmore season (last season, I praise Jesus for this) but my times were 4:28 in the mile and 1:59 in the 800, but for cross its way slower. I've ran more miles than ever and been more consistent in it than ever. But just trusting the Lord in it. I finished last year at 16:39, but am at 17:20 right now and I feel in better shape! The Lords got me. Any advice for it?
My PR in the 5K is 18:40 and my 800m is 2:11, but I ran that 800 after only one day of training after a concussion, so I think I could break 2 in the 800 this year, but yeah that 5K is lagging behind 😂
7/10 might be a little light ... lighter than a tempo effort ... but I agree I was totally going too hard on tempo and non race specific workouts when I started, and I was riddled with injuries.
You mention consistency in regard to coming to practice every day. My coach has our team taking a three-week ish break after track and XC season and every time I come back feeling like I’m starting from zero while the rest of my team doesn’t seem fazed in the slightest. I’m still getting better but the first two months back from a break are absolutely demoralizing to me.
I started running last year, time was 23 something and starting this September will be my 2nd year, throughout this summer I have been running 25-35 miles a week, I still feel like I haven’t improved much last time I ran a tempo kinda run and I hit 24 min and 8 seconds and it felt easy but idk how to push myself to break my pr
I’m a freshman female and my PR at the moment is 24:08 I’ve been daily running with Sundays off since May 31st. I’m wondering if you have tips on what food I should start eating daily to help me. Also any tips on how to get faster? It feels like nothing is working. I’m putting all hard work in, doing weight room, core, taking easy days easy, etc but I’m not improving.
I don't watch my nutrition very intensely. You can always make gains with running at young ages. Nutrition is for when you're very close to your goals and need a final step.
i'm starting as a senior (probably not the best idea) but I wasn't able to run for the first 2 years of hs and just didn't want to do it in junior but I ran my first race and got a 25:45. I've been starting to run consistently and I hope I can get below 20 before the season ends
I am self taught middle distance runner, I went from 24:30 to 17:02 in a year by learning from different training plans and many resources and amazing channels online. It is doable but I do know a coach would be better.
Ngl I’m a senior and run a 19:23 and it just feels like I don’t have enough time to improve especially since the season just started. Only been running for 7 months but still I wish I started sooner.
@@yaseenabdalla8713good luck in cross this year. my first meet was supposed to be today but it got cancelled cause of heat but just got to move onto the next one
Thanks for the tips yaseen, I got a track 5k this thursday and I was wondering if I need to taper because it is shorter race. I was planning to do a workout later today because I don't want to lose all this fitness but I also dont want to burn out for the race.
That’s one of my blessings. Not a challenge I’ve had to deal with much but taking iron and vitamin d + doing mobility + running on the treadmill when possible has been enough for me.
I feel like taking some workouts hard is beneficial to people who are energy resistant. Recently I’ve taken my workouts too easy and I’ve seen a lot of stagnation in my performance. I say if you can handle the physical toll then let it rip
So I want to hit an 18:00 flat senior year (current), and my PR as of yesterday is 20:30. What do you think will help me the most, considering that I don't do any strength, very little mobility, and have a workout schedule depending on how I feel.
When you have a lot of room for growth, running more is the most important thing. Everything else is important for longevity and injury prevention but I would focus on increasing mileage and recovering better if you're trying to get better at fast and are new to running.
Hey man, so I started high school running XC this year but only started running last year and I'm a senior now, what should I do to continue getting better? Btw my 5k time is probably 21 mins
Keep practicing, one thing that helped me A lot was increasing my mileage more and more. So if I was comfortable running 2 miles then I would run 3 and then 4 and so on.
My training plan is coming out next week! But a simple workout would be 1000m repeats at a minute slower than record mile pace per 1000m on a minute rest. Do 6-10
make sure you're not overtraining, that can really stop improvement. Otherwise all you can do is do 1-2 workouts a week and slowly build mileage. Anything more will probably get you hurt. Find a coach they can know about your individual situation better.
Do you suggest a two week bread after the season has ended? If so, how should runners navigate the two week break (workouts, recovery, nutrition, etc.)? (:
Hi I’ve been doing XC as a freshman this year and have really gotten invested in it. My PR right now is 21:10 and Im wondering if It would be at all possible to get down to sub 15 by the end of high school. Im willing to do whatever work to get there but wondering if that improvement is possible
I'm in a similar situation, I ran about 21s last year as a freshman. It'll definitely not be easy, I wonder the same thing, but I think if you keep working as hard as you can, trust the process, and believe in yourself, you'll be able to make that improvement
Great and helpful vid. Quick question: I’m entering my last year of hs (I just started running in May) and I just hit 19 even (5k). Do I have time to improve enough to run in college? If not, what would you recommend?
Started 9th grade last year with a 28 minute 3 mile and got it down to 20:30 im working on it... goal this year sub 19 if i get that sub 18:30 and keep going 30 down
@@yaseenabdalla8713 Wild drop, buddy you went from nearly 25 minutes to almost sub 15 in 2 years, that's like going from a 7:10 mile to 4:15 mile in 2 years! That's incredible by the way, good job!
Hey I’m a freshman in high school with almost no prior running experience and I just ran a 21:20 5k, it’s my first time ever running a 5k, is that good?
What should i do during off season i am a 5k runner sophomore and current time is 19 flat for my first race and i want to break my school record of 15:15 but idk how to get there
That's a wild story. When you didn't break 20 minutes that first season, what kind of training were you doing? Clearly your body did not respond very much.
I was honestly spending all day playing video games so I wasn’t giving my body much stimulus outside of the runs and it ended up being too much. I was so buried on like 10-20 miles a week
I’m not an expert, but from my training and my teammates training, it varies from person to person. It’s only been a viable option when we’re fit enough for zone 2 running to be a reasonable pace(like well under 10:00 per mile easily) but as you get more fit, your zone 2 pace gets faster and personally, the training blocks that have helped me get the most fit( both starting out fit, and coming off injury) have been doing loads of heavy strength work combined with a heavily zone 2 biased running schedule, building mileage week over week. I know I’m not Yaseen but hopefully this is helpful.
@@nathansmith2574 thanks for the reply it was helpful. i’ve been doing a lot of zone 2 recently and i’m enjoying it. i’m going to continue doing it for the rest of the year and see how much i can improve. thanks 😊
Consistency is definitely the key. slowly building milage and running every week dropped my 5k from 28 to 18 in 9 months

You need to make a video on your post run routine. Like the mobility and stretching you do
Stretching is Tennessee trademarked. Mobility is the bowerman mobility routine it’s in my Kenya videos description. Or just look it up.

If u get in the 8/10 9/10 range u risk being too scared of the workout and ending up skipping it. Especially as a beginner.

What should i do during off season i am a 5k runner sophomore and current time is 19 flat for my first race and i want to break my school record of 15:15 but idk how to get there
run when you dont want to run. even if thats every day.
Thanks
I just pr and got 17 50
Thanks for the video yaseen, do you think keeping my easy runs at 7:50 to 8:30 pace is too slow if I’m trying to break 17? My current pr is 17:41
easy run pace doesn’t matter at all. i’m a 17:02 5k and run 8:15-8:45 easy pace
That’s not too slow go as slow as you need to
Dang I’ve been forcing sub 8 pace this whole time 😭
is there such thing as too easy on easy days
Yeah I just run without pushing if you’re crawling it won’t be beneficial or could even be detrimental to your joints and stuff
Dye that jawn
That's a wild story. When you didn't break 20 minutes that first season, what kind of training were you doing? Clearly your body did not respond very much.
I was honestly spending all day playing video games so I wasn’t giving my body much stimulus outside of the runs and it ended up being too much. I was so buried on like 10-20 miles a week
26:00 to 20:24 5k < 3 months
Hoping to get sub 2:40 800m
That’s what my progression was sophomore year!
awesome vid, you should dye your hair pink
No shot 🤣🤣
Well maybe
have you ever gotten ur gait checked?
Nope my cadence is kinda high though.
whats ur opinion on zone 2 running?
I’m not an expert, but from my training and my teammates training, it varies from person to person. It’s only been a viable option when we’re fit enough for zone 2 running to be a reasonable pace(like well under 10:00 per mile easily) but as you get more fit, your zone 2 pace gets faster and personally, the training blocks that have helped me get the most fit( both starting out fit, and coming off injury) have been doing loads of heavy strength work combined with a heavily zone 2 biased running schedule, building mileage week over week. I know I’m not Yaseen but hopefully this is helpful.
@@nathansmith2574 thanks for the reply it was helpful. i’ve been doing a lot of zone 2 recently and i’m enjoying it. i’m going to continue doing it for the rest of the year and see how much i can improve. thanks 😊
That’s pretty much where all my easy runs are
dye it all blond that would be hard
I think I will 😁
Na bro my teammate did that. Bleached hair is not it😂
Sudanese?
