          In our state, we have two consecutive weeks of tw-day qualifying meets prior to the State Championship weekend. We’ve traditionally run our last high level invitational 1 month prior to our first round of qualifying and then tried to get in good training and a couple of dual meet races to stay sharp.

          My questions: How close to our first qualifying weekend can we get away with a high level invitational without taking away from the ultimate goal of a state championship?

          Also, how many 3200s should be run in the regular season – knowing that we’ll have to run the 3200 three weeks in a row, counting State?

          Thanks.

          Im’ not sure how true it is but i’ve heard a comment a few times that your run your best (PB’s) are in your 5th – 8th race. If its true then that should certainly help figure how how many your able to get away with

          I’d always heard 5th – 8th sprint race, but not 3200m?
