Is 5 : 17 a good time for the 1500 M for a 13 year old boy?
I was just wondering wether the time i got in a race last sunday was any good. I got 5 :17 and i'm a 13 year old boy. Any tips for getting better times would also be useful. Thankx

Hey that is a great time for someone your age! You still have time to get a lower time! Some high school boys dont even get that. Keep it up!Is running going to make my feet wider?
Well... it all depends on whether you exercise or not.its quite a good time for me, i got around 5:45 for 1500m.
p.s.i'm 13 also!
Not too bad. Keep at it & work on your foot speed. Soon you'll be sub-5:00
It's pretty good. I couldn't go 5.17 at 13.
How can I get 2 miles under 13 minutes?
hey rob i answered one of your otherquestions about what to eat before the race. I am also 13 and my pb is 5:05. I dont train much but if you do then you will get your time down below 5 minYes, that's very good :)
4 days a week you should be doing distance training like long runs (5-7 miles)
And 2 days a week you should be doing speed training to help add spark to the last 300m of the race.
Give yourself one day to rest each week. (You don't want to over-do it.)
Good luck! :)
