I ran a sub 4:30 mile in time trials in Senior year of High School (4:29). Had a perfect day and a great race. The bummer part was... placed third and didn't make the team for the mile, but made it for the 2 mile. I forget the times for that, though... 9:10 or something. Never ran anything under a 880 yd event. Couldn't sprint to save my soul, but I could run all day long. Used to train around 112 - 120 miles per week. But I was younger then...
We had two coaches that ran on the national team, one of them was an 880 yd guy and the other was a Marathoner. Awesome experience. Great to learn from, and we all enjoyed being there, which made it fun...
