Is a 4:50 mile good for a high school freshman?


I can run a 4:50 mile time dring th winter tracks season and i will probably get it in the low 4:40's by the end of spring, is this a good time?



Answers:

6 spikes vs. 7 spikes?

That is an excellent time this early in the season!! Especially for a freshman. You will improve but, have your coach pick your races!! You may do better than 4:40. If you do you will be consider top 10 in state for a freshman. My sons friend ran 4:28 as a freshman and he was top in state. I recommend you run cross country if you already don't?? You will only get better!! Running is year round. Good Luck!!

I have to run the mile outside tommrow at school and...??

What the heck, are you kidding me? I'm one of the fastest freshmen at my school and I can only run a 5:45. With that kind of a time you can get on the varsity.

In Cross Country, how do you stop from getting blisters on your feet?

That is a very good time. I would expect to place in the top 3 at almost all track meets. If you want to win you will probably need to run about a 4:20 (at state I mean). This, of course, depends on the state.

r u serious kid your on your way to be one of the best highschool athletes in the nation by your junior or senior year. If of course you train hard and keep dedicated.

Quad injury.. 2nd day of track.. help/advice please...?

A 4:50 mile is good for a freshmen. You won't qualify for states but you should do well in all other races. My friend ran a 4:50 mile and didn't qualify for the states and he is the fastest freshmen runner in our school and we are D1

Some tips on running?

4:50 is a fantastic pace for a Freshman but there are warnings to follow. Be sure you pace your training to not burn out before your Senior year. I faced many Freshman that ran in the 4:40 to 4:50 pace and they all burned out by their Junior year by not training properly and were still running at their respective pace or slower. Compared to where I started at 5:10 and ended up at 4:30 as a Senior.

Dude that is insane. The record at my school for the freshman mile is 4:34 and we won over fourty state titles..small state.. You are one of the best freshman milers in the country if you can do that.

Blister prevention, my arches?

That's awesome! You'll really see your times drop fast in your freshman and sophmore years (mainly your freshman year)

Your junior and senior years it may be tougher to drop your times (the lower you go the harder it is to shave off 5 or 6 seconds), so since you are still in your freshman year, you could go low 4:40's by the end of spring

don't forget your only a freshman though, so keep your mind open to other distances. I was pretty good at the 800 (2:09) and 1600 (4:53) my freshman year, but thankfully I opened myself up to racing the 3200 and XC as well. It turned out XC was more for me.

It may sound like your a miler but I also thought I was an 800 runner, and I was wrong. Make sure you use your fresh/soph years as a chance to try each distance out!

good luck and keep at it
