This Race Was A SHOCK- Marathon Runner Races FAST 1500M

Ойын-сауық

In todays video I raced a 1500m which for me was very different from the usual marathon distance- some 28 times longer lol. As i transition from being self-coached to coached, this was more of a training/testing experiment to figure out my current strenghts/weaknesses but, rather surprisingly, i really enjoyed it. Feel like i may need one more crack at it this season to try and break SUB 4.

    My no spoilers prediction is close to if not break 4 minutes in the 1500m. And then maybe it's a bit of a stretch, but maybe sub 9 minutes for a 3k after the 1500m. Edit: Heyy I was bang on with the 1500m, and I was right for the 3k, sub 9 minutes after the 1500m, that's ridiculous! You can defitinitely break 4 minutes in the 1500m with some more speed work, and probably even 4 minutes in the mile, (3:59 1500m is right around 4:16 or so for a mile), and who knows, maybe you can train to break 8 minutes in the 3k? It might be a bit difficult, but even if you don't plan on trying to do that, 8:29 for a pr is still amazing, a time that I would LOVE to have for a 2 mile sometime, and sub 4 minute mile for me sometime I would LOVE those times, that's my dream goals anyways. Keep up the amazing work Ben!
