Your PR at 28 is impressive. I am trying to hit the same time while being at the same age as you were then. Any tips?

In college I was standard 14:30 5k guy and ran very high mileage (90-100mpw almost every week). I only ran the mile at the start of every indoor season as a rust buster or not at all.
I still train consistently, so I'd be curious to see how low I could go in the mile.
8th: 5:50 (played soccer)
9th 5:11 (right after XC, then got injured during outdoor)

Wow, never really occurred to me how ridiculously fast my times dropped off senior year. I went from 4:48 to 4:33 in a single race actually indoors.

Moved up to 5k/10k in college, and never ran much faster in the mile ever again. Lifetime prs are 3:58 1500, 14:34 5k, 30:20 10k. Still only 27 now and would like to try and keep improving, but can't seem to get healthy.
8th grade - 9:02 ( yeah, that's real, never did sports in elementary or middle school, ran 7:58 later that summer with training, felt like a god )
9th grade - 5:21
10th grade - 4:57
11th grade - 4:49 indoors, injured out
12th grade - 4:43, ran it once, mostly ran 800/1000. In 4:37 shape or so at the end of the season.
4:19 off my mile from 8th grade to 12th. Goal is to run 4:19 in college.

I am a woman, and as with many girls, puberty was brutal. Went from about 95 pounds in 9th grade to 120 or so in 10th. (I am 5'6".) I was definitely not fat - just went from a scrawny kid to a more feminine shape. Spring track in 10th and fall cross in 11th were terrible. Things finally got better in spring of 11th.
