  1. sweet Colin, nobody cares, why don't you just answer his question.

    That is a good mile time for 14. But that is just your natural talent. Now, in order for you to make that time lower, you have to work your butt off. You have to want it and stay committed, and you could be great.


  2. There is a kid on our team, that is going to be a freshman, and as an 8th grader, ran a 4:48 mile and a 2:07 800...

    That's actually not bad, you should probably run aau or usatf track and cross country, because over the summer training will help with your times. Don't get burnt out though, and make sure your not over training..

  3. 5:00 is pretty d**n good for a 14 year old.  I'm almost 17 years old running a 4:36, and I was running 5:17 at 14.

    For the calf excersizes, the best one I know is done on stairs.  Stand on the bottom stair of any stairway with the balls of on foot on the edge.  Let your heel go down as far as it can, then go up and stand on your tip toes.  Do around 3 sets of 15-20 with each leg first, and lessen the amount of reps if you need to (just try to keep it at sets of 3).Build your way up from there.  If you do those every day, your calfs will get stronger in no time, and you'll be crushing the track (or hills, if you do cross country).

  4. 100% yes thats very good...im running 5:18's and im 15

  5. I'm a sophomore I just turned 16. I'm running 4:21.

  6. dude thats an awsome time the bes time in my junior high track team was around there and he got 2nd place in Central Cal. Geez I usually run either a 5:55 or a 6:00 minute miles.

  7. Yes, that is a very good time in the mile!!!! Keep working hard.

  8. very good time .....get a bike
