How long, after you first started running did you get your first big breakthrough? I've heard that it is around two years. I was just wondering how true this is. I'm refering to middle distance (800-5k) events. Thanks.

Right after I double posted on letsrun
My frosh year in high school I ran 1836, I also ran in 7th and 8th and then my soph. year I went 1603. That was my big breakthrough. I would say 2 years is accurate. But that isnt for everyone, every single person is different and some people could have a breakthrough after a single season of serious running.
