List your mile progression from high school.

Your PR at 28 is impressive. I am trying to hit the same time while being at the same age as you were then. Any tips?

8: 6:07 (Not on track team, ran this in gym class)

9: 4:51 (1600)

10: 4:23 (1600)

11: 4:20 (1600)

12: 4:15 (1600)

Frosh: ~4:13 (3:55, 1500)

Soph: Didn't Run

Junior: 4:15 mile (only ran one indoor season)

Senior: 4:05 mile indoors, (3:46, 1500 outdoors)

5th year: 4:02 (only ran one indoor season, I wish I did more)

8: 6:00

9: 5:10

10: quit (played soccer)

...

age 32: decided to try training again

age 33: 5:15

age 34: quit, knee problems

This thread is actually very interesting to me. I like to play the coulda/woulda game.

1600's

8th grade: 5:30 (one off in gym class)

9th: Didn't run, played soccer

10th: Played soccer but ran a few meets (but no practice) 4:50

11th: Quit soccer in January, ran 1:58/4:26/9:42 outdoors

12th: 4:28 (got mono)

Mile (College)

Fresh: x

Soph: x

Junior: 4:20 (indoors)

Senior: 4:16 (indoors)

In college I was standard 14:30 5k guy and ran very high mileage (90-100mpw almost every week). I only ran the mile at the start of every indoor season as a rust buster or not at all.

I still train consistently, so I'd be curious to see how low I could go in the mile.

8th: 5:50 (played soccer)

9th 5:11 (right after XC, then got injured during outdoor)

10th 4:59 (Indoors, didn't run XC and got injured for outdoors)

11th 4:52 (Never ran a mile during championship season but ran 9:56 2 mile)

12th 4:27

Wow, never really occurred to me how ridiculously fast my times dropped off senior year. I went from 4:48 to 4:33 in a single race actually indoors.

8th: 5:23

9th: 4:56

10th: 4:54 (injured all of cross and most of the winter)

11th: 4:31 (PR)

12th: 4:34 (mono mid way through the season)

Fresh: DNF (Injured, quit running competitively)

Literally only ran the mile 3 times in a competitive setting

Currently 23 and working a full time job. Run about 5 days a week, could probably torture myself to a 410 if I really wanted to

Freshman - 5:30ish. Don't remember exactly

Junior - 4:32

Senior - 4:20

Moved up to 5k/10k in college, and never ran much faster in the mile ever again. Lifetime prs are 3:58 1500, 14:34 5k, 30:20 10k. Still only 27 now and would like to try and keep improving, but can't seem to get healthy.

8th grade - 9:02 ( yeah, that's real, never did sports in elementary or middle school, ran 7:58 later that summer with training, felt like a god )

9th grade - 5:21

10th grade - 4:57

11th grade - 4:49 indoors, injured out

12th grade - 4:43, ran it once, mostly ran 800/1000. In 4:37 shape or so at the end of the season.

4:19 off my mile from 8th grade to 12th. Goal is to run 4:19 in college.

All the fast guys are out training not on their phones comparing times

9th: 6:08

10th: 6:40 or so

11th: 5:56

12th: 5:52

I am a woman, and as with many girls, puberty was brutal. Went from about 95 pounds in 9th grade to 120 or so in 10th. (I am 5'6".) I was definitely not fat - just went from a scrawny kid to a more feminine shape. Spring track in 10th and fall cross in 11th were terrible. Things finally got better in spring of 11th.
