run a 5 minute mile

Completed a half marathon last week, this has always been something I have wanted to do. Best mile time is probably around 5:40, but that is from years ago when I wasn’t in as good of shape as I am now. Today my time would probably be 5:20, although I haven’t run a timed mile in 5 years.

I felt like a beast when I finished this one. XD

I ran a 6:02 on my 3rd mile of a Half marathon last weekend. Almost to the sub 6s.

in middle school. mile ~ 6:20 1500 m ~ 5:32
over the summer i wanna bring it down
girl too.

aahhh, I thought today was the day. I havent been training specifically for running, just my usual triathlon training. I suppose if I trained specifically for running a fast mile I could achieve this goal more easily, but that would be extremely boring. Boringness is not my goal here. As long as I am getting faster I am happy.

I’m getting closer but I didnt quite get it. I was told I started out too fast with a first lap at 1:10. Also I ran 2 miles the day before mostly up hill so I think that might have had some effect on me. I think with a little more training, rest and pacing I can get it.

about 10 years ago, I ran a 5 21 for the mile. Before, i get too old I have made it this years goal to run a mile in sub 5 minutes. Does anyone have a training schedule?

Things came to an abrupt halt late last summer when i wrecked my ankle with a fall at work. I dropped a few feet down a manhole jamming my heel into a crevice. With the extra weight of what i was carrying this drove my heel far into the cleft and my foot was forced up at a ridiculous angle.. crushing soft tissues around the joint. Swelled up like a bast and never quite returned to normal, but i did get back to full training fitness around the turn of this new year. Mile times now are around 5.30/40 but i’ve been doing more circuit training than anything to hammer the cardio.

I just ran a 5:14 mile and my previous best was about 6 minutes. I’m almost there

One of my proudest moments, and fortunately one that can be relived wherever there is open space (or preferably a track) and a stopwatch. Something that is definitely worth crossing off your to do list. Great picker upper and good for surprising the cops when fleeing the scene. Just kidding.
