This year(sophomore year) I went 4:29 in the mile. This summer and fall I'm trying to make a big push in my training to improve my mile time. Is it in any way possible to go from a 4:29 to a 4:15.5 in one year(end of my junior year)? Just wanted feed back on if someone has seen it done before/if it's even possible.
It's definitely possible. There are countless stories of people making big jumps like that in a season. One of teammates went from 4:44 as a sophomore to 4:19 as a junior. Just stay consistent and healthy. If you're ready for a drop, it will happen.

It's been done many times. I went from 4:35 to 4:14 between my sophomore and junior year. You shouldn't need feedback as to whether it is possible though. I didn't know a single person who had done it when I did. Not trying to make myself sound good or put you down. Sometimes you have to just set goals that seem impossible at the time
Ok, well thanks for the feedback
Very doable, my teammate went from 4:29 to 4:17 with better speedwork and quality miles. He also raced his way into shape towards the end of seasons, so try that maybe depending on how your body works
