Before your scroll please read i need honest feedback
So the story goes like this:
I got into running in sixth grade, I was never fast or good. I tried so hard for three years just to my make track team for my elementary and middle school but i always came short. One day my good friend always saw my deep desire to run since i met him and he was was a goat at track in those days. He made me meet the highschool coach so i began xc. My first year i ran 17:37 for 3 miles , that same year a senior ran our school record of 14:44. With big goals set in mind i ended up going sub 5 my freshman year for track. I continued with 50 miles a week but muchos faster and ran 16:11 for three mile my sophomore year. Just as i had everything going my way I tear my hip labrum and it knocks me out the entire track season. Going into my junior year I still feel it, it affects my summer base and I run 16:36 as my fastest! At this point my mind told me nothing other than quitting but my coach urged me to keep working despite my adversity and to trust in God. i began to crank out 60 mile weeks and at the end of base training i was able to run controlled tempo for 5 miles at 5:35. I was able to do 20x200’s @31 averages. Everything seemed going into line again. My goal this season was to run 4:28 in the mile and sub 9:30. This season i ran two relay races with my mile opener in febuary being a solid 4:37, a 20 second improvement from when i was injured and tried running. i know wholeheartedly i was able to run a sub 4:30 right now if i kept training but due to quarantine I have to do my own runs alone. This adversity just keeps making me stronger, I choose to keep working despite everything. I’ve been grinding like crazy with school off. Double runs daily, sub 1 hour 10 mile progression runs. I recently ran 20 miles at 6:33 avgerage. Did a workout the other day, 3 miles at critical velocity and I ran a 15:43 at a controlled paced but still was midly tired. Keep in mind, I did that with zero workouts for nearly 3 weeks prior to that, just recoveries and moderate paces. In a few weeks i plan on running a solo time trial and my goal is sub 15:20 solo’ed. Anyways, if you are somehow still reading this could anyone suggest training I should do right now without burning out, lol 20 miles is too much. It hurt but i still want to be able to be in shape to do great in my solo time trial and be 30-40 seconds away from sub 14:40.
Anyone interested providing light over my dilemma P L E A SE
Criticism allowed

Just a kid with big dreams that refuses to quit
