48 split, 49 open in high school. Am 41 now. I never get to tell anyone this but I still hold the record for the open 800 at the same jr. high my kids are at now :D


Anorexicaardvark542

16 minutes last year now 11 seconds.

Anorexicaardvark542

And I’m 6


TheBaconator08

dam 41 gotta be a world record or sum


njbeck

Lol, I mean I am now 41 yrs old


OkUnderstanding1391

46.57


Anorexicaardvark542

I’m a 48. When did you run this?


OkUnderstanding1391

At 19 years old


njbeck

Dang... that's blazing


johnny_mccoy

49.5 4x4 split. 51 open. I’m a 400h specialist though 😉


Anorexicaardvark542

Yeah 400 is my favorite.


johnny_mccoy

How long have you ran track?


Anorexicaardvark542

2 years.


johnny_mccoy

High school?


Anorexicaardvark542

Yeah.


johnny_mccoy

Gotcha, try the 400h! Lots of fun haha


FlyingFartlek

Never ran it in high school, but as a 30-something marathoner, I ran 56.9 a couple years ago. Edit: 30-something is my age.


chuckythreezzzz

What’s your marathon PR?


FlyingFartlek

2:30


runnerkk1988

56 (I’m a girl)


DryGeneral990

58 or so. 5:01 mile. I wasn't that fast.


3nc0d3d_

I’d take a 5-min mile!!


meselson-stahl

Technically it was not a 5 min mile


DryGeneral990

Yeah I was pretty sad I never broke 5. That was my goal all season and I came so close at the district meet. I think my PR before that was 5:04 or 5:09 I forget.


meselson-stahl

I was just kidding my dude! 5:01 is real good. I ran 5:03 and was upset I could never break it. I'm a lot older now but it's still a goal of mine someday


aaa_dad

You needed a rabbit. LOL. Still respectable!


3nc0d3d_

Glad you clarified that for me /s


xeeblyscoo

What was your favorite race or most important PR for you, you had very similar times to me and my favorite race was the 1600


DryGeneral990

The mile for sure! I would usually get third at dual meets so it felt good to contribute points to the team. I didn't always score in the 800m or 2 mile. 2 mile was too long. 800m 2:18, 2 mile 11:16?, 5k XC 18:16 The 4x8 was also fun even though we didn't always win.


speed32

Low/mid 49’s. Only ran the open when I’d do the multis. This is also 22 years ago 😂


WillyDilly90

54.0 last year in a practice, 56 low this year but not in as good of shape. For reference I’m 34, a track coach, and when I was 14 I took 1:50ish to run the 400. Yeah, I sucked bad


Takaqi

60.44 😭 just got out of 8th grade, though, currently 13. Hoping to drop my times significantly freshman year, I'll let y'all know what I run then if I remember to


euronewyorker

78sec. 19:15 5k pb. Hoping to go under 75sec this year.


NeatTealn

That 5k is ridiculously fast for running a 78. You must be insanely endurance built


euronewyorker

I am slow :) I am 43, took running seriously after 35. I am 6'4" and 192 lbs. My fastest mile is 5:43 and my 10k best is 39:13. Goal this year is to train like a miler and get faster.


LEAKKsdad

We're cut from same cloth; old, decent endurance, slow ass twitch muscles. Would be funny if we ever raced a mile, kinda like mario kart when you racing the ghost of your past run.


euronewyorker

I'll give it a shot this summet and train like a miler. Hoping to go under 5:20 and hopefully 72ish in 400. Should be possible 🤘🏻


LEAKKsdad

Me and OOP are same person. 01:27 Half Marathon and fastest mile - 06:03.


euronewyorker

That doesn't make sense at all. Explain🤣


Anorexicaardvark542

Nice. What do you normally run?


artelingus

Same here. I hate sprinting my legs just don’t move any faster 💀


euronewyorker

I am slow :) I am 43, took running seriously after 35. I am 6'4" and 192 lbs. My fastest mile is 5:43 and my 10k best is 39:13.


RealisticBarnacle115

10k under 40 mins with a 5k PB just around 20 mins!? That's crazy endurance!


euronewyorker

Thing is, i don't race often. I believe I was at 18:45 shape at some point. I just enjoy running without racing year around. Races are fun but the taper is exhausting 🤣 i suffer from tapering blues


3nc0d3d_

52 flat in HS. Enough to win the meet 🤷‍♂️ practice for us was running around the outside of a divoted soccer field for 4 years


IO_Timmiey

I feel that bro. Practice at the hs im at consists of running in the halls for indoor and running on the lumpy, cambered asphalt for outdoor


3nc0d3d_

Hell yeah. Practiced starts in the lone hallway of my HS 😆


KingRibSupper1

52.5, indoors.


Chance-Ad-7559

57.9


SameRegret5975

Not Olympic times and that’s okay


NoTaro3663

I barely scratched 66 seconds… BARELY I hate anything more than 200m 😂🤣


coolKiwii

51.25


danblochiii

51.66


AltRockPigeon

65 in high school.


_oNIGHTo_

57.25 - 8th grade boys


acanthocephalic

65 indoors leading off 4x4 in HS. I was a thrower.


Dilly_The_Kid_S373

65 as a thrower is respectable as hell damn


runnerglenn

68 seconds (age 55), Current 5:35 Mile. Just ran sprints as a HS'er (11.XX 100M LOL) Started to run when I hit the big 5-0 and didn't want to rust away.


Impressive_List_7489

73 - thrower


Human-Nectarine-1750

58 split but only ran one this year. Coach didn’t want to overuse me since I was already doing 800m, 1500m, And 3k.


Idllnox

49.87. Though I was a pole vaulter who liked doing the 4. Pole vault was 16'10"


Natereater

This is how you become a Decathlete.


pelfinho

Probably a couple of minutes, give or take. 


Track_Black_Nate

Indoor 48.06(best 4x4 split 47.8 electronic. Outdoor 48.4(4x4 split 47.3 first leg coach Handtime split)


InvestigatorHefty898

Only ran 4x4 in college no open, but 47 split at my fastest.


reniiagtz

1:18. I’m a girl with a good 3200 (12:50) but not the equivalent sprint speed.


Anorexicaardvark542

That is fast for a girl who runs long distances! I also ran the 2 mile in track 2 years ago.


jimmylstyles

48.70 in 2004


KingKoopa313

I started track in 8th grade and ran 66. By senior year I ran 52.1 FAT, good enough for 5th in States.


Pelegisme

47.9 open 51.74 400 hurdles. Now I’m 41. So probably 180 🤪


Coach_T_Schev

48.99 open. 48.1 relay split in college. Was an 800 guy who was more high volume. Limited top end speed, but lot more consistency!


Hotchi_Motchi

They made me run the 400 in my last meet of my first year on the team in high school. Afterwards, I said "screw this" and switched to pole vaulting!


WeezerAdvocate

I can’t even run 400 meters ngl


Teddie_P4

52.2 split and 52.9 last season as a freshman, I’m a 400/800 guy and I like the 800 more, less painful


PwnCall

50.05 I did the decathlon in college so I was pretty average 


General-Text277

53.5 but I’m a 3200m guy


Data-Master

59.75


Sambucusly

GosuCuber

48 in college, but I was a distance runner.


cspot1978

53 back in the day (late 90s). I was more of an 8/15 and X-country guy though.


Representative-Bed15

61 LOL


flyingbennyben

54.9 indoors


boomaroo

56 in high school. Probably 60-65 now


sportsroc15

54 in high school. I was a pole vault (13’6”) and 110 (14.5),300 (40.9) hurdles specialist though. This was 2004 though.


rugbyfool89

Glad to see that 48 split & 49/50 solo is somewhat common lol…it was definitely a hard level to get over. At least I can assume so because I never did 🤷‍♂️


IO_Timmiey

55 last year at district champs. Almost enough to win the champs for my school. The 400 runner for the school that beat us ran like a 51 though sadly. Wouldve won champs if the shotput guy for our team decided to show up.


weeweestomper

Made myself run that mf twice. 49.99 first attempt, don’t need to talk about the second attempt


bobthetrumpet

48.2 in the open, 47.1 4x4 split at 18


Anorexicaardvark542

No way I ran an 18 at 48


Tight_Willingness_96

56 official, but I was an 800 guy cause my acceleration is cheeks


ricothyoung

TandemDwarf3410

48.92 PR at districts, somehow won state in 49.11


CoachStewGodiva

49.3 as a 43 y/o coaching few athletes run 45 🤷‍♂️


sbre4896

My best ever was 57, which I ran last year at a meet put on by a local club. I never ran it when I was actually fit, I was a 1500-5k guy.


blacmacc

56 seconds in 8th grade - 13 seconds 100m 8th.


M_ch_4

Shit.


track149

48.95 when I was a freshman in college. Ended up throwing javelin and then running the 800m after I got injured😂


Imsosadsoveryverysad

Got a friend who ran a 44


Caldraddigon

56s, with a 2:08.00 800m(so annoying close tobe 2:07.XX lol) and 4:27 1500m(I managed a 4:55 mile) and a 9:31 3000m, currently trying to regain my old fitness and then hopefully reduce these times XD


Interesting-Doubt972

52, only ran track for 2 years, ran a pr of 59 as a junior and then cut 7 seconds off as a senior, really wished I got another year

Leather_Decision4341

GoldenC0mpany

My 13 year old daughter runs 59.5 which seems pretty fast for a 7th going on 8th grader. She’s doing club track and hoping to qualify for USATF National Junior Olympics next month!


Anorexicaardvark542

That’s so cool I can be talking to you! That will definitely be a unique experience, lots of people and lots of cultures. I hope she enjoys and nothing goes wrong with the process. Good luck!


JynxYouOweMeASoda

In my prime 47 4x4 split 48 FAT. But now im washed up

Prove it so I can ask for a virtual autograph


whata2021

I’m 16 and my times are low 45


Mrdynamo18

In my peak 44.7 iwas 175 lbs Now in probably could run a sub 47 now (220) If I trained for a year probably can run sub 46 (205)


njbeck

44.7 would have gotten you a scholarship basically anywhere


Mrdynamo18

I was using track to help with my combat sports career I competed in Muay Thai and boxing


Mrdynamo18

Mind wasn’t right back then didn’t really l like track


pitudo15cm

You competed in college


Mrdynamo18

Nope I always ran summer track and just never stopped running after high school I could run in local meets etc Apart of me wishes I stuck with it I strongly believe I could have made a pan am nacac or world indoor team
