Needed a little advice or Tips to run a sub 3:35 1500M ?? The Goal is for 2024 Paris Olympic 1500m or 5000m 13:10

COEBRA IS BACK BABY

I just wanted to update you how I am going in my training and racing this last few months.

I broke the 4:00 1500m Barrier to win my 1500m Race in 3:58.3 and I took off after 700m to go 😀

Still working hard to get to where I wanna be and that was my first race and last race of the track season..

I also paced a 3000m Race for 8:03 Race I took them up to 1800m in 4:48 I went through the Mile in 4:16.0 as a lace maker.

Your thread is very strange. You ask for advice and then after some posts from you we get to know you already have a new coach, a former elite runner. It doesn't make sense? Just listen to your coach.

Reach out to the430miler. He's a college coach, but has time for promising metric milers.

can you link me to one of his threads laying out a training program?

Congrats

Thanks for the update. Good luck with the season ahead and keep working hard.

Thanks Brother

I have also ran a Seasonal best

10km Race on May 7th Last Sunday in

29:54.3 I am pretty happy for My steady progress at this point 5 months training.

Hey Dejen, I see you ran a 29:35 at Melbourne, good going. What are your aims now?

Hello, Thanks heaps for your positive and lovely support you have given me since of this post happened.
I also Ran and won a 5km Road Race called (Run Prix) it's a New Road Race that happened in Sep 24th.
Ran 14:16.2 for that 5km Road
Training is going pretty good and consistency and Commitment also Motivation is there.
I also Ran those Race times
while working in two Jobs
in the Morning I work at a Super-Market as a customer service and Grocery worker.
2nd Job is at a Japanese Restaurant at Night Time
as an Assistant Chief ^-^
Next Race Goal is 3000m and State 5000m after that than National 10.000m Track.
My goal is to run fast anywhere from 800m 1500m 3000m 5000m and 10km

#No Limit.

Stay Positive and supportive

God Bless you

Hey Dejen,

I think the main thing for you is to just stay consistent; let the training weeks and months build on top of one another, so that you give yourself the best chance of fully utilising your talent. I know that's harder said than done when you're working two jobs, but it's the most effective thing for performance.

I also think that your best chance of making a team is in the 5,000m or the marathon. The 1500m is super deep in Australia right now, which makes qualification all the more difficult; and the 10,000m standard is absolutely ridiculous (plus there's an entry cap of 27 athletes for the Olympics).

But, you don't need to make any decisions yet.

Anyway, I look forward to seeing how you go over summer on the track.

Good luck!

Thank you so much for your insightful and lovely support there

your Advice is absolutely wonderful and very realistic

you are 100% right The IAAF have really put up very tough Qualification Standards for all distance Events.. Especially the 10,000m and 10km is Absolutely a Joke.

5000m is going to be my Big Aim so there for I will still get a few Fast 10km Races and Times on Board and also a very Fast 3000m and 1500m Races on Board.

5km is the bets Bet for my Situation

As I don't have any Goal and Desire for the Marathon

I prefer and Enjoy the Speed sessions for 5000m and 10,000m It's Easier also with my Busy Life Style. Marathon Training will be very difficult won't be recovered from those big long runs and work outs also the Mileage.

Thank you Stay Blesssed.

Ya, the 10k does seem unnecessarily low, given how few elite 10k races there are. Hope you can find a race to get 13low or under 13. Good luck.

Thank you so much brother 🙏

God willing 🙏

I will do everything to get to that low 13mins barrier by preparing myself mentally physically and spiritually ✨️

Getting into the right Fast races are the ideal and also getting the shape into that sorta Pace and Fitness.

You're the most obvious marathoner ever. This thread was amusing though.

We are pulling for you! You could try and get into a fast indoor 3000m or 5000m in the northern hemisphere as well if you can afford to travel. It was one of these results that bumped up Morgan McDonald's ranking to allow him to go to Worlds this year despite not running many races due to injury (obviously he is a very fast guy as well). I don't know the exact calculations or permutations with regards to the world rankings but hopefully your coach or national federation can advise.

Hi, I'm the Swedish top coach mentioned by someone early in this thread. I'm sorry but out from what you have informed us here nothing is pointing to a 3:35 @ 1500m or 13;10 @ 5000m . But your 1:02 half tells you can probably get your half to a sub 60 half and then a sub 2:05 @ the marathon. You work alot and then you should try my original Dancan system on just 6 sessions per week. You have to do it quite the same as the Japanese marathon star Yuki Kawauchi. You told you have a coach but nothing points to so far that coach can take you to your ambitious goals. Time to test a magic coach who can take you to a sub 60 half and a sub 2:05 marathon on just 6 sessions per week. We can have our own thread here at LRC where I coach you live to run times you today just can dream of. Cheers! - The Swedish Magic Supercoach, Mr Wizard J.S- 🇸🇪🧙‍♂️🇸🇪🖐🙏
