What would be a good time

im going to run a 400m race and a 1500m for the first time tonight race tonight and i was wondering wat would be considerderd good times?(for an 11yr old)

thats hard lol. i don't know for an 11 year old lol.

ehh maybe like 5:35 and like a 70 for the 400..not sure though.

yeah I was thinking an awesome time for 400 would be high 60's and a great time would prob. be 70's maybe? Not quite sure.

k that sounds fairly easy

yeah im sure you can do that...just shoot for that and you'll probably do better.

thanks for the advice

yepp (:

cant you just determine this yourself? youre the one who trains and you expect us to know a time better then yours?

woah pipe's upset..don't make pipe upset. lol

wat?

I would go for 5:35 on the 1500 and 68 on the 400. Tell me how good I am at guessing when you run them : )

Dude, if you can run a 1500 under like, I dunno, 6:30, you're going to be a lot better than a lot of 11-year-olds. If you're racing a 1500 and 400 at 11, just run to win. 11-year-old times say very little about the rest of your running career.

I would take big breaks 9a lot bigger than the people here) though because you don't want to burn out and lose your potential.

Well, on the 1500 I got 5:42 (after I ran the 400 so I was alittle tired) for the 400 I had a 69.62 so you were pretty close on the 400.

Good job. You are far faster than most of us were at 11.

thanks

In 5th grade I had a 7:20.

I think my 400m at age 11 was like 75 or something.
So, awesome job kid! You should be really proud.

*sigh* so I guess what I do now won't determine what I do later in my life at all?

Yeah. You could walk faster than a 7:20 400m.
