Middle school and developing
Boys breaking 5:30 and girls 6:00 are doing well early. Consistent easy mileage moves these numbers more than hard workouts at this stage.
The 1500, the metric mile, rewards aerobic depth and a closing kick, and a good time depends on your level. The numbers below are competitive marks at each stage, not the average runner. Here is what counts as good and what tends to move it.
Boys breaking 5:30 and girls 6:00 are doing well early. Consistent easy mileage moves these numbers more than hard workouts at this stage.
