A little bit of backstory. My college PRs for 1,500m, 3k and 5k all came as part of a double. My sophomore year I ran 14:20 on calm Friday night at Mt.

My fifth year I ran roughly 14:22 for 5k (may have been 14:20 again, don’t know for sure) on Friday evening and 8:20 for 3k Saturday afternoon at the Big 12 indoor meet, held in Ahern Fieldhouse in Manhattan, Kansas. Obviously those times are pedestrian comparied to current CU athletes, but at the time those PRs – when I could run them – allowed me to travel to most of the cool meets. Today, the last day of 2010, I’d like to share some thoughts on those indoor PRs for the simple reason that most college distance runners will be running at their conference meet in eight or nine weeks and I’d like to be of help.
