          ok.. so im a 13 year old girl currentley in 8th grade. My best mile is 5:42, but that was in the beginning of the indoor track season. by the end of outdoor track i would like to have a 5:35 or better. I want to know if its realistic for me to run a sub 5 minute mile by the end of my senior year. what do you guys think? any tips?

          thanks

          That’s a great time for the 8th grade. There’s never any way to be sure but I think you’re way ahead of pace for a sub-5 minute mile by your Senior year. Just gradually keep increasing mileage while working on speed and you’ll do very well. If you’re not running cross country already you’ll probably want to start.
