290 Pound Former NFL Player Runs 7-Minute Mile
This is very impressive at 290. My pace is only slightly faster at 220 but my heart rate is almost 170 at only 1 mile. What kind of aerobic training got your endurance to this level? What was your HR here?
Thank you for the motivation. I’m just trying to work and take care of my family with this new job. I will get there eventually. 👑❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽
I run sub 6's. That looks extremely slow for sub 8, let alone dead on 7
Great work
post more
7 mins is good time.. 6 mins is excellent.. 5 mins is a runner
Very cool! It should be noted that a few years ago another former athlete like yourself, Eddie Hall, was Champion for Worlds Strongest Man and like you he's not that far after his "prime" and as he weighs 300 ish lbs he can run a 7:30 mile. th-cam.com/video/34rwW-chtIY/w-d-xo.html @15:25 So given that rate you're not far off, plus I recall Mr. T a two time Champion for a Strong Man Competition had ran 4 miles straight non stop and altho I don't know the time frame, his body weight was 244 lbs. So somewhat lighter there than you but still, for 4 miles nonstop? It's intense, so those are some empirical realities for inspiration, and I really wish you safety and luck! You look to me like you have good running form too!
I ran a 7:12 for the first at 216 but I was 248 just a couple of months ago. Keep that shit up! Stay hard.
Make more videos man
Great job, man! You should be extremely happy with that time. Keep on practicing 💪🦵
Whats your mile and a half bro?
Where the videos ? I just subbed lol
Just 9 more meters and you would have run an entire mile ! 😀
I can’t even do 7 minute mile and I’m 200 pounds lol😂😂
Wish u good luck man
Thank you for this video because of you I was able to pass my 1.5 mile run in the police Academy.
Incredible
it seems you never posted any more videos updating on your progress?
Great video but it looks bit slow a pace for a 7 min mile :)
I really appreciate you putting this out there. I'm 37, 300lbs and I'm training to join the IMPD this fall. I didn't think I'd have any chance to make a 1.5 mile at 16:28 at my size. But, you have given me immeasurable faith that I got what it takes, somewhere inside me. Thank you, and God bless.
Me too but not 300lbs
Very inspirational. As a fellow big guy 6’3” 260 (not as big as you) I run like 11 min miles so to see that my goal is possible to run a 7 is very inspirational. Fastest mile I’ve ever run in my life is 8:59 which is slow, and I’ve never once ran faster than that
Keep it up chief I'm 260 and 6'3 as well. I run a 6:50 mile. "good" big runners exist and you can be one of them. I'm aiming at a sub 6.
@@StrengthScholar0 i'm in the 9s now at 250lbs.
@@jvogler_art4708 Nice man, most dudes our size can't even make it a mile. Out of curiosity what is the first part of your body that gives out? Your cardio? Your calves? Or something else?
@@StrengthScholar0 oddly enough i don't really give out, i just slow down. I work a job that requires me to walk like 10 miles a day, so i can run about 4 miles total and its either my calves or the blisters on my feet. I sometiems get such bad blisters that i have to stop. i just ran an 8:55 this morning for a new PR! Feel like i'm definitely getting faster because of my job, diet, and i've been doing a bit more training! i think if i lose about 20lbs and continue training my core i can hit a 7 possibly sub 7! gotta get to low 8s first! I've always sucked at running cause i have slight skeletal issues and weakness on one side. I've always gravitated more towards power lifting and weights but now that i've been doing that less and less i'm getting faster!
@@jvogler_art4708 Wow! 10 miles shit... You're putting me to shame on that one! Lol Makes sense your endurance isn't the thing giving out. Anyways... When I said "give out" I meant "stop pushing". Sorry for my inaccurate language. The reason I asked is because for me personally my calves are the biggest thing they give out on me and doing weighted calf raises really made a world of difference. As for chafing, you can get the anti chafe sticks that triathletes use for super cheap and wear tight fitting synthetic boxers. Blisters are a bit more tricky but usually the source for those are your shoes or socks. Maybe you need a shoe with a wider toe box? All of these were things that really helped me out in my running journey. Also it's great that you lift as well. All of that strength is going to help you with your speed once your body adapts to use it for running. Stay driven and you'll get even further than you already have! I wish you the best.
Brah!!😮🔥🔥🔥my new Hero🫡🫡🫡🫡 thank u for this inspirational video✊
Dude how the fuck...... I'm like 190 lbs (85 kg) and I can barely run a 8:30 mile and I been running like a mile a day for 6 months I also smoke a lot but my lungs arent the problem its just painful on my body pounding against the ground. The pain has reduced a lot since i started but i feel like i should be a little more comfortable with it now. i think i need to do speedwork and also run longer distances.
What a champ
Hey, just stumbled upon your channel. I can appreciate your candor and effort in this video! I ran competitively when I was young, bulked up a good bit for me in my 30's (to around 190-200lbs at 5'10" tall), and eventually found that having the extra weight (though more powerful in the gym) wasn't as healthy for me as being lighter. Now I'm back down into the 162 pound range, and in my mid-40's. I can run sub-7 minute miles again, and once again log 10K's in under an hour. I'm not as fast as I was in my 20's, but I also found myself in a time when I had to go through the mental gymnastics of trying to figure out what was most healthy for me. I'm not setting any records today, but my health is now phenomenal, and my cardiovascular fitness is doing well (which we all know is so important for long term health) . I have to say that it's REALLY impressive to see you doing a mile at that pace at your weight... that's quite an athletic accomplishment as a guy who outweighs me by 130 pounds. I hope you have continued to great places on your health and wellness journey!
Great video. People don't know how hard running while weighing almost 300lbs is.
Great job champ but if that pace is a 7 minute mile then my iwatch is telling me a lot of lies. I might have to locate a track to get some truth on my time
Thank You for this video it inspired me to run more and it help Me pass the police academy run test 1.5 mile.
Day 1, ran a 12 min mile. Thanks for the inspiration!
man! Im down 30 pounds in two months and I still haven't gotten under 400lbs. I feel better though. today I ran a mile in under 16 minutes and I was so proud of myself lol. keep going bruh!!
You got it chief, just stick with it... March 2022 I was 360 now in September 2022 278
Reading this gave me goosebumps. I started walking this summer bc my weight was the most it's ever been at 260lbs (5'10") and I'm only 35. So I lost 25 lbs over several months of walking without changing my diet (it's not that bad, I'm just lazy). But now that I've been jogging the last month ive lost 20 lbs in just the last month alone. So jogging obviously works. It's hard but keep doing it, it gets easier. I'm rooting for you guys 💪💪
You are a real inspiration, thanks for sharing.
This is incredible! I love the lack of negativity when you speak on your weight. You can tell that you’ve done a lot of research on how to be the most optimal you; which is highly admirable ❤️ I don’t even watch football but I’ll gladly watch you!
A 290 pounder doing a 7 minute mile is VERY impressive... Don't let anyone convince you otherwise. Congrats on your goal of getting to a healthier weight, it is a constant goal to work towards for many people.
How is this possible. That's 20 stone 10 pounds. He must be tall and long limbed with a short torso strong legs and core, the typical athletes makeup Albeit with 150 more pounds than needed on his huge hulking frame. Fantastic athlete.
The sheer power it takes to move that amount of size at that speed is insane
Thanks for the video and advice bro i am 300 lbs trying to cut down and improve my cardio as well
Major motivation right here.
Amazing dude. Just tried my mile again today gave it all I had (Just under 6'1" 250 lbs) hit 8:51 and I felt like I was flying.
my father lost a lot of weight at 6 foot and he's down to 160 now, easily running miles in the 6 minute zone. The key is to shave off the excess weight and gain fast twitch muscle fibers.
@@xum0007 totally agree! i think for people trying to get from, say, 7:30-8 minute mile pace to around 6-6:30 minute mile pace (whether it's for one mile, 5k, 10k, etc), the first hurdle is losing excess weight and doing enough weekly runs to build up your endurance and also your mental strength to push through discomfort. to get your times down below that, you probably need to start incorporating speed work into your runs, but tbh haven't done that since my hs xc days since i'm content to be a decent but not particularly fast runner
@@joddle23 yup also breathing consistently and trying to zone out from time to time is also great. My fastest runs at any given distance have been from when I’m zoned out completely and I only realize what I’m doing after I’ve finished my run. Running is easy on the mind (unless you’re running a marathon and on the urge of collapse) unlike ball sports so it’s best to just enjoy, breath repeatedly, and try to keep a steady pace rather than varying between jogging and running. I’ve been running for a few years now and even I don’t know how to properly use my energy and efficiently vary between sprints and jogs... someone running sub-9 should certainly keep a steady pace.
That’s awesome!!!!
Great video man, keep it up.
when i saw the preview thumbnail i thought for sure he was bout to run a mile in a video game
Wow man, respect. You inspire us all.
Bruh I run 2 miles in 30 mins…
Where is this track? It looks familiar to me.
Awesome video
Impressive at 290 think how much easier it will be at 250
How tall are you sir?
6ft5 inches tall
@@xtna3371 OK makes sense now your bodyweight yea 250 will ne a good healthy weight for you good luck on the fat loss goal
21 years old currently run a 11:40 mile and a half I will improve it!
Damn freak athlete
