the 5K was the Family Hope House 5K. and for your info, no i won't run nationals in tennessee because I DON'T RUN TRACK ON A COMPETING TEAM! we compete against ourselves. and how many times do I have to say I can't get proof, just believe me. The 5K I ran doesn't have a site cause it was a REALLY small race. for cryin out loud WHY CANT YOU BELIEVE ME??????<HR>

Could explain why your 5K time is better than your 1600. Twenty bucks says the course was short (as local races tend to be). If I went from my fastest time in a local race, my 5K PR would be a solid 16:29 instead of a lackluster 17:36...

(on the other hand, your 800 looks a little too fast)

But you have to realize that by posting times that some of us can only dream of running, and asking if they are "slow", you will hurt a lot of people's feelings. And to many, it seems as though you're doing it intentionally. "Fast" and "slow", "good" and "bad" are all relative in this sport. I am so proud of my 17:36, because I worked my tail off to get there.

If those are your actual times, you have unbelievable god-given talent (the best junior high runners don't work at it much harder than others). But having that sort of talent should humble you. After all, it was given to you, so it's your responsibility to work hard.

Hey Fastrunner, give us a link to some of your results, I don't believe you either.

Yeah, I need proof, that's all I can say, cause for anyone in high school those would be real quick, so I'm sorry to say I think you are lying... Who runs those and posts am I slow? Not to be mean, just letting you know my input... Peace.

FastRunner, if you are so good, why don't you try to run at the larger meets? Although some people don't prefer big competition, it seems a bit of a waste to just run locally when, assumming your not making this up, you have talent. I'm suprised your Coach hasn't said something to you- if he knows running he should know that those are good times? :/

Does anyone smell a fishy scent around here, or it is just me. It could be my dinner, but its mixing with this thread. ; )

Pretty good. Keep on training and you'll do really good. I'll look forward to seeing you in the 2012 Olypmics, or possibly the 2008 Olympics.

Lots of you are overfrustrated, either jealous, or your paying to much attention to this.


If he IS telling the truth, they'll we will find out soon, and if he's lying, he's just cheating himself.

I mean, those times are good, but nothing abnormal.

I'm 15, I've been running for a year.
200m: 22
400m: 50
800m: 2:02
1600m: 5:27
3200m: No idea
5K: Around 19 minutes, I believe
I could burn this kids *** in short distance, but if he's telling the truth, he can beat me in the mile and up.
Calm down people.

Your in ninth grade , where do you live? Beacuse i have a friend whos also 15 and he runs 51 400 23 200 you guys are pretty close but i always thought he was one of a kind.

I would have found those times hard to believe. Check out the 12 and under age group for this 4 mile run. The second mile is almost entirely uphill.
