How to run a 7 minute mile
How I did it: I have discovered that it is very useful to synergize and combine efforts together as I have 4 young children and time is at a premium. So I practise mental mantras or storytelling while I run. One of my mantra patterns has to do with reaching a certain number and I mention the name of someone who inspired me in the past by their effort and perseverance. There are two people I think of - both have since passed on. One is my father who got me running in the first place and the second was a young beautiful woman who was a great heart. My mantra is simple : Peter Greenwood moves through pain one, Peter Greenwood moves through pain two.
I just keep on counting and realize that by the time I reach a certain number I will have finished the run and the pain will be over.
I recently ran a 1 hour and 49 minute half marathon and that is the longest distance I have run since I was 14 years old.

I just made a dinner wager with a friend – on July 3rd we will have a contest – 150 situps, 10 pullups and a 3 mile run in 21 minutes…...The situps will be no problem, the pullups will be difficult to lift my 200lbs 10times, and the running will be harder still….I have a ways to go, as i am running about a 10 minute mile right now.
Steve M is moving house.. woohoo
After two attempts, my best is 7:25. Should be able to go under 7 in a few weeks and start on trying to crack 6 minutes
... oh dangit. i thought this was the 5 minute mile group. sorry! yea down to 5:20 here baby!
That wasn’t too tough. It feels good to hit this milestone, though. As far as I know, I’ve never done it before in my life.
I’m very close. I think I can finish this off tomorrow, and then it’s on to 6:00!
I was able to do this in high school, but now I’m running a 9 minute mile. Need to keep up with the training and workouts.
I started running about a month ago, and I can run two consecutive 7:40 miles, so I think this is a goal I can achieve within the next 3 months. We’ll see!
One of the keys for me was to set a fast enough pace for the first 3 minutes or so. Of course you don’t want to be going flat-out over the first half, so you need to know what your body can handle through trial and error. I ended up going as fast as I could for the last quarter-mile or so. First attempt: 7:15, Second attempt: 6:25! I figure if I make my break a little earlier, or start off at a slightly faster pace I’ll be able to break 6…
