4 minute mile?

Question

there is a junior at my highschool who ran a 4:32 mile last year (when he was a sophmore). Do you think he will break the four minute mile and if so by how much?

eventually i mean, obviously he won't do this in high school

Answer 1

If he keeps running in college then I believe he can break 4, he should shave off seconds this year and a few years into college (2 or so) I can see him breaking 4, but when you're running at that speed, that's when your genetics are gonna really factor in.

Answer 2

There is a big difference in 4:32 and a sub 4:00. There have been a few high school runners that have run sub 4:00. He has 2 years to take off 8 seconds per lap. As you get faster it becomes more difficult to reduce your times. It is a matter of percentages. I have seen many high school boys run 4:20 or a little faster, but I have never seen a sub 4:00 in person.

Answer 3

ok, I run flow us of a, and my ideal 3 mile time thus far is eighteen:00 flat (i'm 14, one twelve months older than you). i'm additionally a guy, and that makes a great style of a distinction. If I have been you, i might definately construct up my staying power by employing working 5 days according to week or 6 (Monday by means of Friday or Saturday). additionally, having one speed day, the place you do sprints and stuff, may well be efficient. yet specifically, staying power and being mentally difficult'll get you thru very virtually each and every thing on the course. on a daily foundation, I run everywhere from 4 miles to 7. construct as much as that. you prefer to be waiting to run a minimum of two times the gap required of you. without struggling with.

Answer 4

nah, verrrrrrry few ppl in the world have the anatomical capability to complete such a feat. most schools have at least one guy who can run at about that pace for track. the best he can look forward to w/o Olympic training would be a 4:15-4:20

Answer 5

I doubt it. If he was close to peaking he might not even break 4:30. Breaking 4 would be amazing.
