run a mile in 6 minutes

Clocked a 7:31 the other day. An improvement from the 8:00 on the first time I started timing myself. But my best ever was something around 6:20, in the days when I ran six days a week. :p

I’ve started to work out, but every time I go, the mile kills me. I used to be able to do it, but I’ve been more distracted the past few years. Its time that I’ve started to take care of myself again.

i’m working on this but not going to hit it soon – so i’d rather have smaller goals that I can reach sooner.

My best is about 8:30 for a mile; but when I do longer distances my pace turns into 10/mile. I’d like to keep a faster, steady pace for a long distance with enough energy to be able to sprint the end.

i can run a miles in 5:56 and im 13. aren’t i lucky :)

Did 3 miles total yesterday, 5 minute walk/jog warmup, ran pretty hard for 20 minutes, then 5 minute cooldown on the treadmill.

Felt good but boy am I sore today, planning to do an easy run tomorrow, just trying to get over being sore.

I’m in the Navy so you would think I would be in shape but I’m probably at the lowest point athletically in my life. With my job, working on my MBA, my wife and kids fitness is no longer a priority like it should be.
In highschool I could run it in 5 minutes and 1.5 miles in under 8. Last physical fitness test in October I ran 1.5 in 10:50 and haven’t run since. Would like to get that number down to 9:00 by May which would require a 6 minute mile. Guess I better get started.

I think my fastest mile was 5:34. It felt freakin’ awesome.

get into shape!

I did this last semester on an indoor track and it was great to do it, I felt so accomplished!
