Q: I run the mile and a half in exacly 9:16 at my cross countrymeet, and im 13. Is that a good time for my age?? I also run the mile in 6:00 mins. is that good too? Please tell me the truth!

A: Yeah, that's pretty darn good! The thing about doing 'good' is that you should only compare against yourself. If you start measuring yourself up against others it'll distract you from your own training and progress and you'll lose focus. So don't worry so much how good you're compared to others, but instead make sure that you're always better than you were two months prior!
