Your Best Time?

Question

What is your best time in the mile, what was it when you were a freshman in high school and if I want to go to the Olympics how fast should my time be year by year?

Answer 1

Freshman year I ran 5:16
This Junior year I ran 4:35
My coach and I are looking for me to run about 4:15 this coming Senior year.
At the Olympics you basically have to run under 4 minutes.
I am hoping to do this in 2012 when I am a senior in college and will have reached my peak.

If you also want to do this just take your time down in chunks at a time. In 3 years I took my time down 40 seconds so that is close to being on track. Get close to 4min in high school and then you should be able to in college.

Answer 2

Best was 5:17, as a freshman about 5:25-5:30. Olympic time needs to be under 4.

Answer 3

Mine is 4:40. Freshman year I hit 5:01. I still have 4 more years at the college level though.

To be olympics, you might have to run 3:40s to 3:50s. Year-by year, just try to beat your previous best.

(I am more of a half miler - 1:53)

Answer 4

i'm a freshman right now, i ran a 5:35 this past track season and i'm looking to bring it down during cross... as a freshman i'd say anywhere under 5 minutes is a really good time as a freshman, 5-5:50 is okay, 5:50+ means you need to get up off the couch and start running :D i'd say depending on where you are, you'd wanna drop 10 (if you're under five), 20 if you're in between 5 and 6, and drop alot of seconds if you're over six :)
