How do I continue to PR after my freshman year in high school?
Currently:
30-33 Miles a week
5:00 flat 1600 pr
11:36 3200 pr (only ran a couple times and this was from the start of the season)
2:24 800 pr (didn't pace right lol)
What do I have to do to improve my time down to at least a 4:30 by senior year? What is necessary to go to a small D1 or a D3 program?
Thanks
Run more miles.
Run faster in workouts.

A 4:30 mile is an outcome you can’t control, therefore, commit to a process you can control. Meaning, what are the intermediate steps required to take in order to increase the likelihood of the performance you desire. Also, why 4:30? Why not 4:35, 4:40, or heck, just breaking 5! Again, don’t set yourself up for failure by creating an uncontrollable outcome that may or may not be realistic. Instead, create process-oriented goals that will help you stay rooted in reality as you pursue your goal.
Focus on doing better each week, each day, each step etc. It's a long process, just accept it is going be a lot of hard work ahead of you. Embrace the grind. Love the pain and enjoy it. Focus more on nature i.e. running through the woods, hills, untimed fartlek runs etc. Building up your aerobic strength and get better long term results.
Ranked in order: 1) puberty 2) the accumulation of aerobic training.
