Could i run a 4 minute mile?

Im in 8th grade and i would like to know if i could possibly run a 4 minute mile by 10th grade. I run about a 6:11 and a 6:45 last year with no training. I do 8 miles three days a week, what would it take for me to run a 4 minute mile.

    If you want to break 5 thats possible with a lot of training. But if you want to run 4:00 its pretty unlikely for it to happen for you by college, by 10th grade you might as well ask for wings, only. Only 5 high schoolers have ever broken 4:00

    Hell no. fastest mile time is 3:40 3.13. and that is a international-classification athlete. With the burden and the actual incontrovertible fact that you smoke 2 packs an afternoon, many should be taken aback in case you should run below 9minutes. attempt exercising a touch first, earlier attempting sub-4 for the mile. nicely I propose in case you lose round 150lbs and end the smoking, after years of exercising and education, you should hit a 4-something mile.

    That is physically impossible. For 8th grade that is okay, although it should be more around 7:00. Anyways your doing fine.
