Early bloomers rarely are around when it counts (age 18+) so who cares what he runs at age 13.
If he is being coached to run high mileage the coach and parents need to get a little perspective here.
Write his name down and check back in 5 years. He'll be a nobody.
Not trying to be an a-ole here but the numbers and odd's speak for themselves
Well, it hasn't quite been 5 years since he ran 33:50 for 10k but 4 years later he just ran 14:56 for 5k XC, completely dominated Roy Griak this year, is ranked 2nd in the nation.
I would say he has done "ok" so far

Yeah, in my neighbourhood there is also a dad pushing his kid way too hard.
He even has his own Youtube channel. Pretty sad.

Delprete senior should be calling the cops on you, freak!!!
He is spending time with his kid. Running builds confidence and every parent does everything possible to help their child in that respect. Tip my hat to Delprete senior.
All those people who measure success based on what will happen in 5, 10 years are wrong. Look at Hirsch! I say he is successful because he is having fun now! He was also having fun and was successful 4 years ago.
Run Doctor, keep that attitude of yours away from running. Nobody wants to hear it. You are way too concerned with performance, long term, etc etc

Yeah, Hirsch is clearly having troubles improving as a runner, that NXN Heartland time is not quite what he was hoping for.
Gessner, Finn 12 UNA 14:39.4
Hirsch, Seth 12 Millard West 14:39.5

Only in running, among all youth sports, do you find criticism of kids doing a sport. And they coach and push the kids a LOT harder in gymnastics, swimming, football, basketball, etc.

I ran 35:29 on the hills as a tiny 13 year old in 1981. My best time later in life was 29:17
All fast kids don’t burn out. I never ran more than 35 miles per week until college

So, 9 years later he is down to 28:49. That is awesome, but still not indicating he will be world class.

As a 13 year old Hudson ran a 50:51 15k at the Boilermaker
and 13 year old Jamie Welborn ran 26:15 for 5 miles and 1:14:27 half marathon according to a Running Times from October 1980.
In the early 80s Running Times had a Highlights section for 18 and under, over 40 and woman. My goal was to run fast enough to get mentioned but I was alway a year too old or a minute too slow.
Another issue showed Tracy Garritson ran 34:18 and 34:15 when he was 13.
I knew Jamie back then. He was a phenominal runner and great guy. I hear he's still running and he must be around 56.

So what, maybe that is his ceiling. It just goes to show that not all kid runners flameout.

Ran a 10k this past weekend and got smoked by a 13yr old, he ran 33:50 for 10k. The course is an out and back so you actually get to see the leaders, pretty impressive to see this kid towards the front with all the big boys. He does hold the national record for his age group at 3000m on the track and I would imagine this would have to be very close to the national age group record for 10k road race but they just keep under 19 records instead of specific age groups for road racing.
Seth Hirsch has since run a 13 minute 5k
