How many miles or kilometers do you run every week?
2:07 is good for a 15 year old. Just growing older and physically developing might get you to 2 minutes by the time you're 17 or 18.
You have some very solid speed. You seem to drop off from 200-300 and even more significantly after that. Whats your mileage like? You either need more overall endurance work (most likely) or you need more work at 400-mile pace. Both have their place.
I do about 25-35 miles per week, I know that's not much but this is my early phase
With your speed that's good enough for your age. It'll go up over the years and you'll be fine. I ran a 2:12 with similar 400 speed when I was 15, ran 1:58 consistently when I was 17.
