Question

Answer 1

man thats great people say im fast when i run the track 6 mins, but if u can get in 5 minutes that pretty good, and your sprinting is excellent i say youve got nothing to lose! go ahead and go

Answer 2

You should look into cross country it is starting up now. The team is probably already practicing. The good cross country guys are the ones that run good mile times.

Answer 3

a 5 minute mile is really hard, itll take a lot of work. im 14 and i run a 6 minute mile but id try jv if they have it

Answer 4

Yes, but is going to be hard at first... good luck!

Answer 5

last year there was no way that i could run a 5 min. mile, but with the right amount of work i think that you can do it, i did it my mile is down to 4:30 so do it and beat me  

Answer 6

Yeah sure!

5 minute mile is a very good mark for a freshmen.

"Back in the day" when I was a freshmen I ran 6:07 for my cross country time trial mile. By the end of outdoor track I ran 4:58. The usually doesn't happen to everyone, but work hard and train smart and you can do it!

Plus if your school has a cross country team, join it. It will help you with building a base for your mile.

Good luck!
