Will I ever reach my goal time?
Hello! 18/f
Ive been running for a little over a year. Since Im 18 I think I'm kind of in my prime, or just past it. So Ive been feeling a little discouraged about my race times.
My best time for racing, what I'm racing now, is between 26 mins flat, and a 26:30 for a 3.1 mile (5k) distance.
My goal is to be at a sub 20min time by my senior year in college. Ive been working so hard and sweating so much and sacrificing a lot of time but I just don't seem to get any better, even though I have a coach and I'm constantly pushing harder and harder.
So is it possible that I could still make that goal, or is it impractical do you think?
Wouldn't I have been able to run that fast by now if I was ever going to?
Thanks guys, all answers appreciated!

Bodies are strange things. Each is different with different limitations. The truth is you never know. With the right training and diet you can always improve, especially at your young age. I wouldn't say you were at your peak and you should have reached your best time by now. But is it possible for you to improve your body as much as you'd like in the time you want to do it in? That's impossible to say.
In the end, I wouldn't say it's fruitless to try though.
