I just started running for track the 1600 in December and i started off with a 6:57(i know slow for a guy).Well by the end of the season my pr was 5:59.87 for 1600.I will have traing for cross country during the summer and crosscountry during aug-oct
I just wanted to know if going from a 5:59 to 4:59 i possible in 10 months
Yes it is definitely possible but it is difficult. It really depends how much of your current potential you think you have already tapped into, the future potential you will gain in the next 10 months, and how hard you train in the next 10 months.
In one year I went from 5:48 to 4:57. That was from age 14 to 15 and I had been running for several months prior to the 5:48 so I already took some time off the top if you will. If you just started running you have plenty of room for improvement and your body may adapt significantly. 4:59 is definitely possible.
Any specific training plans?

It's defenitley possible. I dropped my mile from 5:59 to 5:17 from December -april. With a full summer/winter and xc it should be doable. Might not happen until you do some speed work after winter though
