I ran 11-17, took it seriously but did not train ideally. 27 now.
63 for 400m (only ever ran it once), 2:22 for 800m, 18:29 5k.
Trained off and on for the last 10y, mostly hobbyjogging. Tend to get back to 18:30 very quickly.
If I train properly for 400m/800m (40mpw, one tempo and two track sessions, gym), could I beat my old times? Could I hit, say, sub 60 for 400 and 2:14 for 800m before I start declining?
Even if it's unlikely I'll give it a shot, but want to know if these goals are realistic.
