Making good time / in good time
Could a native tell me how to make these natural please?
1 We're making good time. If we continue like this, we'll finish head of schedule.
2 We're in good time. If we continue like this, we'll finish head of schedule.
Ican't seem to find "running on time" in the dictionary, could you tell me if it's natural?
3 We're running on time. If we hurry we might even finish head of schedule.
What about this?
4 We're running behind schedule. If we want to finish on time, we need to hurry up.
Thank you
