I can break 10 minutes for 2 miles right now, but I want to get under 13 minutes for the 5k at 17. I have 2 years to get it done.
Any advice?

tell everyone you're actually 10 years old right now. that means you have 7 years to work toward it. it will also give you a huge advantage at footlocker
Become Kenyan/Ethiopian if you aren't already. That seems to help.
That would be a good start.

Well, Lagat is 36, Kenyan born, has the second fastest 1500m in history, a WC gold at 5000m and the 5000m American record and he still has never run as fast as Isiah Koech at 5000m.
Train Gerry Lindgren style. You'll get there.
It seems to take more than simply hard training...
No you can't. Relaize that these guys are the geniuses of our sport. I know of a guy who can play 3 musical instruments he's jaw dropping talent. He ghost writes many of the hits on air. multimillionaire. His mom forced him to learn the piano when he was three. Go look at what Mozart was doing when he was a kid. Writing music that lasts till today. Read his biography, awesome. That's the problem even if he's not a genius the guy's have nearly 2 decades of experience by the time he's 20. This 17 year old who went under 13. How do you know he didn't start when he was like 7?
No but if you don't try you won't find out how fast YOU CAN be.
