Funny- I’m also 16. I read the thread. You come off as an immature brat. The only argumentative person is you. You were offended by people that gave you solid advice.

What are you looking for here? If we take you at your word your coach has put iron clad limits on how much you can train, how fast you can run, pretty much on every aspect of your running and will toss you from the team if you defy him. If true, none of us here can change that. You have essentially said as much but with a lot more elaboration. I suppose your choices are to do what he says and be sure of staying on the team or running more and risking getting tossed. Which you choose is up to you but honestly at this late stage in the season I'm not sure it matters much what you do in terms of racing results.

HOW is it on me? Explain that exactly. if my coach is limiting my pace on runs, my workouts, etc, HOW is that my fault? I'm not even allowed to run extra.
Your coach cannot completely control everything you do outside of practice. If properly structured, you could run doubles and maybe that would work for you.

he literally told me, "You run extra, you're off." What part of that sounds false to you? He means it, he is stern, he will do it, I won't be able to be on the team, I'll lose everything.
Run in the middle of the night, like at 2-4am? Sometimes I do this, during a major summer heat wave.
Or, maybe walk away from the team and do your own thing? You could hop into summer all-comers meets. If you have outgrown the team/coach, nothing wrong with moving forward.
Or, maybe just enjoy the fun team environment for this season and then continue into the summer solo.
