I'm a 14-year-old freshman girl this is my first year in track. My best time in the 400 was a 63.4. Do you think this is a good time for a freshman girl? what can I do to become sub- 60s next year? I go to a small private school so I am the fastest girl in the 400 right now. Sometimes I feel pressured because it's my first year and I am still getting the hang of it , I also run the 4 by 400 first leg and the 200 when I get a chance I got about at 28.4 in the 200.

Next year you'll be a year older, and that should get you faster. While waiting for that to happen, get stronger. Run hill sprints, do bodyweight strength training. I'm a little iffy on suggesting weight training for people your age for a couple of reasons; see how far you can get with exercises like squats, lunges, step-ups, pull-ups, etc.
Gonna need pics
You do realize you just asked a 14 yr old girl for pictures of herself!! What's wrong with you?
Have you ever tried running the 800? I think your 63.4 is solid, but not great in the world larger than your school. But keep training - that 63.4 might just be scratching the surface of your ultimate potential.
Just in case this is not a pedo honeypot, agree you should try the 800 next year and train with middle distance. And run cross country too
more like what's right with me
(1) run xc in the fall
(2) find an 800m coach
(3) you will run 59.9 next May
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
