what can a 926 high school 2 miler run in a mile after 4 months off? Predict my time

4:57

4:55, you need to eat sun. You probably got that bone problem from eating like a bird.

It was a tendon problem, not a bone problem. and I eat like 4000 calories a day

I get really tired of these hypothetical "what can I run" folks.

Go out and do it........have the guts to run a time trial but only do at 3/4 effort

as it can be discouraging to run all out by yourself......going 3/4 effort gives you

a sense of where you are but knowing in a real race you could ramp it up higher.

You'll run 4:40 and change if you push yourself..

As someone who went from 7:05 in 8th grade to 4:56 in 9th grade...I have always been able to run 4:4X if need be the past 14 years. if you can break 4:30, AND run 9:26, you can run 4:4X after being out of shape and running here and there, I predict 4:39. 97. Good luck.

This^ is the right answer. This kid has been running since March.

I will third this. I was a 4:25 1600 runner in my junior year of HS, and had a similar injury during my senior year. Came back after 5 months completely off + 6 weeks of easy running and did a summer meet mile to see how much I had lost. I went out in what I thought was reasonable mile effort and surprised myself to see 2:16 at 800. Ended up running 4:36. Nothing matters as much as you think it does.

yup, 440.

i took 5 months after being a 4:06 miler, gained 30 pounds and went to the track with ZERO training to try and break 5, held 75s until the last lap and locked up and walked it in. if you've got a month+ of training and are back to weight, you'll be golden.

So training only improves your mile by 11 seconds? That must f'ing depressing.

4:38 because you're older, fresher and have the easy miles in the bank.

Your weight is the biggest barrier, but you could probably waddle around the track at 5 minute pace today.

For the record 7:30 pace is too fast to be called an easy run for someone in your condition. I would back off to 8:00 pace and add an extra mile or two to help shed the pounds.
