Mile time running tips?

Question

Im 13 years old 5 foot in 8th grade my mile time is 7:45 i want to do indoor track in 9th grade next year can i get som tips to get my mile time to 7:00

Answer 1

Train for longer distances- try to run a mile and a half using the same pace you run for the 7:45 mile. Or try running 2-3 miles with a slower pace to build up your endurance. Overtraining is the best, because if you can keep your 7:45 pace for a mile and a half or two miles, you'll be less tired doing the mile, and you'll be able to kick up the pace near the end and finish strong.

Answer 2

Don't run faster than you can talk.  Smoked 2 packs a day and ran the mile in 5:28 at age 45.  Would have broken 4 min mile except paralysis slowed me down to a 25 min 2 1/2 mil walk with one good leg.
