what is a boy to do

[eerroognp]

my coach, suggested that in my next dual meet i go for the mile record which happens to be.....dont laugh....4:30......There are some guys that could bring me to the record but, i have rival ever since middle school that i want to race in the 800. Should i go for the record or just go in the 800 and go after my evil nemisis

[trebor deer]

They aren't going to say over the stadium "so and so just beat his jr. high nemisis" but they will say "with a new stadium record ________" I would rather set the stadium record, weather pending of course.

[Sully 800]

did you mean stadium record or school record? I was thinking you meant a school record which would obviously not be announced either.

[eerroognp]

neither would be announced, stadium or school

[luv2run]

... run both events?


That's what we do on my team. 4x800, 1600, 800. Or 4x800, 1600, 3200.

Hmmmm ... no wonder 3/4 of our guys are injured.

But if I were you, I'd do both.

since u two have been rivals for a while...im assuming u 2 live near each other...which means u'll race him a lot more times right? so go for the mile record

[WoodRunner]

which event is first?

[name]

definetely go for the mile

[eerroognp]

well boys, i went hard in the mile and went a solid 4.37. 2.16 at the half. my rival did not have a good race at 2.11. iran both and ran worse in the 800 than my rival, 2.2+

[Beanfontaine]

our mile record was 4:50 until some dude ran 4:21 in 1987 ...

So how do you run a slower pace for an 800 than you did for a mile. I have felt like crap before in my day and ran 2:01 in a 4 by 8 leg, a 4:33 mile with a 62 second opener, and still came back with a 2:04. What happenned?
