Jeff Zuess a 4:20 was ran at my highschool state meet for 6A and got 2nd, its pretty fucking fast bro i dont know wtf these retards are talking about,

In the 2021 nationals, 31 boys went under 4:20 for the mile. 10 boys ran 4:10 or faster. 2 boys ran 4:03. So yeah, if you're training boys to run at nationals, then saying that 4:20 isn't fast seems objectively true. I would also say that it's important for anyone in any program to understand that you shouldn't have some kind of ego trip about how fast you are if you're not able to run faster than 4:20. It's not that you are putting people down, but you don't want your fastest runners to settle for less than they may be capable of just because they are the fastest on their team or in the county or whatever. For most people, running is about personal improvement and trying to break your PB, and it's not like you should have your feelings hurt if you're a 5:00 miler and someone tells you that it's not a competitive time. Doesn't mean you're less of a person. Just means you should not expect to win any major competitions. And that's okay.

Rule of thumb (up to 5k) is that if you can break the womens world record as an 18 year old male then you are showing national championship medal/ low international potential. The exception to this is the 800m. The standard is harder than the wr and should be about 1:51 rather than the women’s world record of 1:53.

More high school runners need to hear this message! I was stuck in high school at 4:34 - 4:38 (over 10 races in this short range). Not to blame anyone else but me, but as a youngin’, I was slightly intimidated by my head coach who would yell “SLOW DOWN” if I dared run a sub-65 second first lap even though I felt good. Yes, my 3rd lap was always trash, but I had this mental block that killed my time improvement. I know it was only mental, because I stopped breathing heavy within a minute after the race.

I love this video. Coach is right! Too often runners set limits. If you run a 5 minute mile who says you can't run a 4:45. If you run an 11 minute 2 mile who says you can't run faster. Don't put a number in your head and stop at that number. Push, feel an enjoy!

Sean is the coach I wish I had fifty years ago. The knowledge, passion, dedication, and team culture he fosters is incredible. Though he is now at UCLA, the Newbury Park program should remain great for years to come.

I agree with the sentiment of this quote. We have to help kids realize a) what elite is, and also b) what their potential is. I continually tell kids that their biggest limitation is their own belief. Right now I am in the process of taking a very young coop program (10 years!) and helping kids see that 30 miles in a week is not insane, that a 5 minute mile for a guy is not elite, and that 18 minutes should not be something only a top runner does in the 3 mile (we dont race a 5k in Illinois). My goal is to get my top girl under 5 in the mile her senior year, and then this spring get my top boy 800m runner under 1:54. Records are not only meant to be broken, but also to show people that someone has done it before.

A lot of good stuff here. Fast is relative whereas elite can be measured. Certainly saw this with my high school teams. Once barriers were broke the floodgates opened a lots of people would runner faster.

It really depends on what state and what classification. For large schools competing at boys state finals in California or Illinois, it’s not fast and likely won’t get you a medal. But, for a small school classification in a low population state like South Dakota, that’s state winning time and a podium position. It’s all relative in comparison.

Just hearing the quote sounds stupid, but the philosophy behind it makes a lot of sense

Speed is relative when you aren't the fastest. 4:20 will be my new goal for the mile.

Ultimately, it’s not about what is fast or isn’t. It’s about ego. Once you or your athletes think you’ve “made it” in terms of your speed or mileage or whatever it might be, most pump the brakes. Making sure your team isn’t trying to be average, but each is improving, is the goal of coaching- and if your guys aren’t willing to admit they need to improve, odds are, they won’t. You need to know you gotta get faster AND know that getting faster is possible. You gotta do both

The times were on the board outside the Sports Dept (from 1965) so go to it. BUT are there any late developers? Yes - but because they were told - at 14 - this is you're event, I'm sure there are misses

Except the average runner will still never achieve these speeds no matter the training. This mindset helps your best students thrive and abandons the rest.

The best mile time in my state I think is either 4:34 or 4:20, and the best in my school right now is 5:02. I think 4:20 is fast for a typical high school

If you think 4:20 is fast you will not run faster than that. Because if you think it is fast you won’t be able to truly reach your potential.

I ran 4:31 in high school and I was the fastest in my entire league and region. I understand that I wasn’t a crazy fast miler but it does depend on your region. I would have loved to run 4:20, given that my school record was 4:22. Never got there though

If you have a team of kids bound for the olympics and the fastest time they can get is a 4:20 all out then yes it’s slow

I think it largely depends what state you’re in. I ran 4:25 as a junior in california but never felt like it was fast because there were always at least ten sub 420 guys at sectionals and sub 410 guys at state. I’d imagine this may not be the case if you grow up in a less populated/competitive state

4:34 that 8 seconds makes more of a difference than youf think

No doubt high school running is getting faster and faster. But in my eyes 4:20 will always be fast. 4:20 is fast for a high school mile.

What he said is true, but I would have said it a little more gracefully. If you're able to run a 4:20 mile, that is nothing to be ashamed of {UNLESS} you have the ability of clocking a sub 50 {400}. If say for example you can turn a 49 {400} but only run 4:20 in the 1 mile, then YES that is a HORRIBLE 1 mile time. But if you're someone who clocks 50 mid/50 high in the 400 and runs a 4:20 mile, then I will ALWAYS tip my hat to that person before the 400 burner with a 4:20 mile. And here's the thing: if you're a 48 or 49 {400} guy, it's not as if you're in any danger of making a 400 Olympic team - if you find yourself in that 48/49 range, YOU'RE IN NO MAN'S LAND !! You got speed, but you're certainly NOT a "sprinter". The ONLY thing for you IS the mile or 1500, and if you're a 4:20 mile guy, then you're a failure as a sprinter AND a middle distance runner.

How much does a 4 minute miler bench press or squat though? If you can run a sub 4:30 mile, you’re probably lean af

I think therefore I am

It all depends on the state. In Wyoming that will easily get you to the State finals and you might win it too. In California, you probably won’t even qualify with that time

My mile pr is 5:54 and it's decent for a 28 yo male

A 4:00 minute mile is fast. People literally thought it was impossible. Now we're wondering if a 3:00 minute mile is possible

Lol no one is wondering about a 3 minute mile. In the last century like 30 seconds have been shaved off the record. Going from 3:43 to 3:00 is not happening in any of our lifetimes.

My high school mile record is 4:30 sum but yea I don’t believe it’s fast!!! I wanna beat it one day tho

yeah I ran 5:30 in vans and out of shape

04:20 Is VERY fast, though...

yerrrrrw!!!
