So just a little about me! (Updated!)
- I am a collegiate female (nonbinary) runner and hoping to someday be a coach!
- I have been running for 10 years!
- Senior in college, English Major 📚
- favorite running shoes: Saucony endorphin speed 2! Spikes: Nike Dragonfly XC, (super shoes vaporflies and track spikes dragonflies as well)
- highest mileage peak this fall (2024) is 75 miles, most weeks were about 68-72. This spring I’ve mostly ran 70 miles weeks. Probably getting up, my longest long run is 15.3 from this fall!! I’m also hoping to race a half marathon after this coming spring!
- highest mileage peak in cc preseason 2023: 61 miles!!, typical load for the season was about 59-65, During post szn’ I had some weeks at 65 and a few a little below and am at about 60 right now, highest mileage during cc 2023 peak: 65, typically 60-65, highest mileage peak during track was 70 miles, most weeks were about 65-68 tho. Probably getting up to 75 this summer and fall 🥴, my longest long run is still from cross in 2023 tho and was 14.42 :))
- highest mileage track 2023 peak: 58, typically 47-53, highest mileage peak cc 2022: 52 miles, typical load 40-49, mileage 2021 cc peak: 41, typically 35-39, mileage track 2022 peak: 45, typically 39-43, mileage !goal! peak for track 2023: 55! Mostly 45-53, mileage goal reached!! I got up to 58 mpw!
- PRs (updated) (you can ignore this, but just to give an idea of the level that I am competing at to understand where I might come from when talking about different runners or books or training!!): 5k: 16:15, 10k: 33:38, cc 5k: 16:51 (at first meet of season , this is technical time bc course was long), 1500m: 4:41 *1500 from freshman year*and 1600: 4:57. 3k: 9:33, workout paces: easy run: 6:35-7:15, tempo: high 5s and low 6s (5:45-6:15), 1k interval: 3:13-08, 1k repeat: 3:05-2:57
~ Update on: goals that seem reasonable for track this year based off workouts this past cross season!:
~ Last spring I was an all American in the 5k though with a PR of 16:15 and just opened my outdoor season with a 33:38 10k!! I then went on to run a 16:09 outdoors and a 4:30 1500 the next day. So I’m excited to see how the season unfolds!!
~ By the end of this past track season (2024) I was in shape to run around 16:15 5k and 34:20 or lower 10k and if I focused on the 1500 for a few weeks probably around a 4:22 or so. Was in great shape by the end of the season but didn’t perform as well as I would have liked at nationals.
~ By the end of track season 2023 I was most likely in shape to run 4:50s or faster pace (mile pace) for a 1500, for the 5k I was in shape to run in about 16:30s but I was focusing on the 10k and only ran it once at the beginning of outdoor! 3k I’m not sure what shape I was in but probably somewhere between 9:30s-50 but I never got to run it this year. For 10k I was in shape to run 34:40s or a little faster but I did not race well when running it again at the end of the season. I also did fall on a rock right before indoor conference and had to sit a week out and that negatively impacted all of my running and times for awhile. (I had to get stitches on my kneecap but nothing was damaged outside of needing stitches!)
~ I also had transferred in the spring semester and am loving my new school, team, and coaches!
~ As far as cross country, my team just made nationals and I ran a new PR in the 20:40s ish! (6k)
