    Ran a 7:08 at the beginning of 7th grade with the lifestyle of a couch potato. No running training, soccer training, jogging from home to school training, etc. I lost to several girls, so I started training. It wasn't much, just 12-15MPW, but I was able to run a sub 6 mile and a 2:30 800 by the end of that school year.

    My times after that:

    8th grade: 2:18 800, 5:43 mile, 20MPW

    Freshman HS: 2:15 800, 5:27 mile, 30MPW

    Sophmore HS: 2:11 800, 5:12 mile, 35MPW

    Junior HS: 2:07 800, 4:58 mile, 45MPW

    Senior HS: 2:05 800, 4:52 mile, 50MPW

    Last year of college: 1:59 800, 4:07 1500, 75MPW

    Well I did not run anything over the 800 until my senior year in high school.

    12th: 800- 2:04, 1600- 5:15, 10mpw

    Fresh: 800- 1:56, 1500- 4:13, 30mpw

    Soph: mile- 4:31, 50mpw

    Junior: mile 4:24, 90mpw

    Senior: mile 4:19, 100mpw

    Still there at 4:19 today, then again I went from the main focus of the 400 in high school to the main focus of the 10K and half marathon.

    re: LOL

    4th- 7:41

    5th- 7:24

    6th - 6:39

    7th - 6:03

    8th - 5:27

    9th- 4:56

    The only way I remember all of these is because I actually thought that I was going to improve 30 seconds a year from there on out and run sub-4 by 11th grade, haha.

    Middle school gym class times:

    5th grade - 7:14

    6th grade - 6:35

    7th grade - 6:29

    8th grade - we didn't run it

    Ran 4:30 as a sophomore in high school but never improved my mile beyond that. My 800 went from 2:03 to 1:55 from sophomore to senior year though.

    Damn, any 7th grader who can run a 5:04 mile off of pole vault training has a shitload of running talent. You should have because a distance or middle distance guy.

    9- 4:40

    10-4:33

    11-4:23

    12-quit

    in other words, fast middle school times mean nothing.

    Geez, you folks are impressive.

    We didn't do a timed mile in 7th grade, but if we had I think I might have been able to crack 12:00. Maybe.
