These are all of my pr's all the way back from the start of my running career. I know I'm super slow, but in the last 1 year, I've improved a lot. 1st grade - 9:30 mile (No xc) 2nd grade - 8:40 mile (No xc) 3rd grade - 7:55 mile (No xc) 4th grade - 7:16 mile (No xc) 5th grade - 7:01 mile (No xc) 6th grade - 6:59 mile (No xc) 7th grade - 6:52 mile (No xc) 8th grade - 6:53 mile (No xc) 9th grade - 6:53 mile (No xc) 10th grade - 6:30 mile (1st year XC - 23:40 5k) 11th grade - 5:28 mile (XC - 20:42 5k) 12th grade - 4:55 mile (XC - 18:14 5k) I was one of the fastest kids in my grade from 1st grade all the way up through 5th grade, and then puberty struck most people, so they got faster. During middle school (grades 6-8) I was a very slow runner and I never put any effort into it although I loved running. It wasn't until right after the end of my first season of doing cross country that I really wanted to improve. So I started training. But tragedy struck right before 10th grade... I fractured my leg. But it worked out because that's also when COVID hit. After recovering, I never really trained after that until after the following cross country season because I was too scared to hurt myself again. During my 2nd year of cross country, I realized that I was way faster than before, even after coming right out of an injury 6 months earlier with no training since then. I'm going into 12th grade this year, and I have been training all summer long. I ran a 5k right after school let out for the summer this June and it was better than any 5k I've run before. I've still got a long way to go to get where I want to be, as well as anyone to consider my times to be good. My goal for this upcoming cross country season is to break 18:30 in the 5k and my goal for the track season later on in the school year is to break 5 minutes in the mile. (Edit: As my senior year comes to an end, my cross country goal for this year has been met, breaking 18:30 in a 5k. As for the spring track season, I have also achieved my goal of breaking 5 minutes in the mile.)

This is inspirational because I am a sophomore in HS and I trained all summer to break a 17:30 5K and the first week of the season I got injured and I don’t know what my injury is. I am still injured and it makes me sick about how my teammates complain about running and I realize that was me until now. So no matter where you are in life there is always something to be thankful for.

This is pretty inspirational because I’m pretty slow and I’m going to freshmen year

While bro ran a 6.42 in 5th grade, I ran a 7.20 in 6th grade. Wow, that is impressive

Is a 5:52 mile for a freshman good and doing XC first time?

How were you able to run in college with your highschool times not being the best?

Awesooommmeee
