Is this good time 800?

I have posted a question about this before, during practice I would run a 3:10 800m and today we had our first track meet and I ran a 2:39! That's my personal best ( is this good if not do not leave rude comments just give me some tips and btw I'm 13 and 115lb n 5'5 in middle school track) I placed 5th overall

    For a 13 year old its not bad. If you can get it down to under 2:15 before high school you could probably reach 2:05 or under by your senior year.

    2:39 is definitely a good starting place. Be proud of the personal best. It is good for you and that's the important thing now right? Have fun with the sport and good things happen. Keep working hard, do your runs, work hard in the workouts and you could have some good things come your way.

    That's alright. If you train with brutal intensity, you could break the 2 minute barrier by senior year. That's right, running a half mile in under 2 minutes. Insane, I know, right?

    Keep at it.
