I am 15 years old with a Personal best time for 1500 of 4.29. I'm moving up to 3k and want to run sub 9. Any tips on how to run a sub 9 would be great. And also tips on training, diet and weekly mileage.

Start by improving your 1500 time to about 5:10. Then we'll talk about going sub 9.
*4:10 not 5:10
Thank you
Build up your endurance. Look up Arthur Lydiard training.
Since you are 15 and can't handle 100 miles a week try a I'll modify what Steve Ovett did in his winter training for you:
Sun 90 min steady
Mon jog
Tues jog plus 4 x 400/300
Weds jog
Thurs jog plus 200m × 16 up a grassy hill
Fri jog
Sat 1k x 3 + 4 x 200/300

Ask your club coach in Drogs. These guys here know nothing.
