8 miles on the treadmill

3 miles with my track team, today I made them run to Drycreak park and run 10x hillsprints up a 12% hill.  I decided to do the workout with them cause if I just stood there with a cool glass of lemonade while they were running they wouldn't respect me.  Seriously I think that was the hardest workout I've ever made myself do, I've done hills before but usually long slow runs, not sprints.

Treadmill again, I ran the last mile in 6:00 just to see if I could do it.  I haven't ran an 6:00mile in over 5 years.

I have a coaching questions, my son is a 14 year old 9th grader going to SkyRidge highschool, that kid can really push himself, last year he was around a 6:00 miler, he runs a big PR every trackmeet and last night ran a 5:02.  Problem is his splits went like this.  73,77,90,62.  He runs every race like that, starts out pretty perfect starts slowing down and then runs a 400M sprint passing up half the feild.  I try to tell him to just run 73's and he'd be running sub 5:00 everytime but I can't run a 5:00 mile to show him.  It seems like he's only a freshman and has plenty of time to figure it out, the coach doesn't seem to care, she's more worried about the Jr's and Sr's.  Should I just let him keep running like that?  He's seems to be enjoying himself.  On the other hand on my team I have 2 8th grade twin brothers, those 2 pretty much just run 80 s laps no matter what, they never PR just run 5:20 everytime, they refuse to run the 800 for me but I'm guessing they'd run it in 2:40 if they did.  Which is better?
