Run a mile in under 10 minutes

Right now, I would say I average about 16 min miles (tredmill) going at about 3.8 (slow, I know). I usually up the speed to 4.2-ish half way through. So yeah… 10 min miles by March (and I should be doing 3 miles each time).

Well I was already in school doing personal fitness. Was a tiny bit out of shape so my run was about 12 minutes. After two weeks of running the mile and getting in shape I bumped it down to about 9:40 :D

March 25 7:00am, my mile time was NINE FREAKING MINUTES!!!!!!!!!

I was very obese and could hardly run for 5 minutes continuously leave alone a mile.

But crude determination , help from Mario my fitness coach and now i can run 1 mile easily under 10 minutes.

So I haven’t run for a while and I am obviously out of shape before I was really close the to run under 10 min now I ran 11:12 which is not bad…but I want to get back in track.

Tonight I did it! And at first I didn’t want to get on the treadmill because these two really buff guys were running really fast and I felt very intimidated. But I bucked up and told myself “put your big girl pants on” and “you don’t have much time at the gym tonight, so you need to run and once you start there’s no way you can stop until you get there…” so I went for it. I ran one mile in 9 minutes and 57 seconds. It wasn’t pretty there towards the end but it was done and I KNOW that if I’ve done it once I can do it again.

Mmmm, victory is oh so sweet.

that’s right. everyday hustlin :)

my best time so far is 10:09…I haven’t worked on it in awhile but I can taste 9 something around the corner. ALSO that 10:09 time was done with no stopping for quick walks! Soon.

I got down to 10:48 and kinda stopped working on this. This is a subgoal to losing weight, not a main focus. It’s better for my major goal to make sure I’m running intervals on the treadmill for 30minutes vs wiping myself out for 1 mile. I will start working on this again soon.

my best time has been 10:05. so close. i’m not overweight i just don’t play sports so i’m really out of shape and i always get stitches in my sides which prevent me from running. one of my best guy friends is the best in the grade and he can run a mile 5:04. D;

1 month ago I told a coworker I couldn’t run at all. That my feet were flat, my boobs were too big, I’m uncoordinated and I’ve just never been able to run. 4 weeks later my best time is 12:41. I feel like calling my 7th grade gym teacher and saying “TAKE THAT COACH CATO!!”

So I’ve got 50lbs to lose and almost 3 minutes to shave off my mile and I’m good to go.
