Maybe. Impossible to know. Build up your mileage gradually, make sure you’re still having fun training and competing and you might get there. Only way to know is to try.

ill do my best.

yeah sure

Yes. With shoes you’re already spotted 15-20 seconds. I wouldn’t bump up mileage too quickly. Maybe over a couple years until you reach 80 or so. Unless you’re super talented and well coached you’re probably not going to break it anytime soon. Just make attainable goals. 15:15, then sub 15, and so on. Find a fast race and go in to it to compete and do well and you’ll break it. Remember, this is probably a few years away. Good luck. Hundreds of runners break 14 every year. I didn’t break 16 until I was 21. Two years later I was sub 14. So, yes, you can do it.

It's not mainly a question of how many miles you run, more a question of how you run your miles and if you have the talent required to run a sub 14 . As you most truly understand most runners can't reach a sub 14 whatever amount of mileage they put in.🇸🇪🧙‍♂️🇸🇪

The most talented person I know did it on 65 mpw; lesser talents need 75+.

Get that Mile down to 4:07. You'll need to be able to run that pace for one mile to string together 4:30 three times.
