  • Olympian attempts a Sub-4 mile for his 41st Birthday. Trying to recapture glory during mid-life crisis, an Olympian nearly fails gloriously at his Birthday party as he tries to run 3:58 mile pace (15.1mph) for over four minutes. He trained for 1.5 years to achieve this feat.

      AnotherSadBoi'sCandle Lol it’s not your short legs, it’s you’re conditioning. The more you run the faster you get.

      I have really Long’s legs so running at speeds of 15mph is manageable for me. I wouldn’t be anywhere close to be able to do this tho because my endurance is not that high (my best mile time is around 5-4 min)

    • @UknownAfrican
      @UknownAfrican 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Arturo Gonzalez Yeah running 15mph for like 400 meters maybe but not for a mile. A 4:00 minute flat mile is 15mph that’s Olympic level type running. I don’t think your capable of that even if your best is a 4:30 mile.

    • @arturogonzalez6184
      @arturogonzalez6184 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Aang TheLastAutisticBender oh no no, no way I can’t run a 15mph mile. I usually run miles in intervals from 8 to 13. I was just saying that “jogging” at 15mph is possible for me. It’s just that my endurance is very poor so I can only hold it for like 30 sec max. About my time, that was just an estimate, I would say top could be 4:50 or higher. It’s cause I’m naturally really skinny and have been running a lot all my life. But recently I’ve stopped running as much and have gained some weight, so I’m more on the 7 min mark now

  • @Linkmon99
    @Linkmon99 3 ปีที่แล้ว +91

    He's so relaxed / conditioned / adapted to run at that pace he makes it look easy, but for most people the speed he is running is an all out sprint and you'd be gassed after 20-30 seconds, maybe 60 if you're extremely fit. It's hard to understand just how fast it is unless you try it yourself, as an NCAA runner who trains everyday I could make it halfway through this, and that second half is the wayyyy more difficult part to be fit enough to do!

      It’s funny that you said “most people” and sprint for 20 - 30 seconds.... “Most people” simply cannot run. At all. For any length of time, at any speed. Beyond that, they’ll tell you that running for running’s sake is just stupid. I love to run, but I’m old and smoked for a lot of years and a bunch of other excuses... That said, I can most definitely sprint for 30 seconds, but at my very best sprint pace, this guy would go past me like I wasn’t even moving...

    I've attempted to go sub 5 on the treadmill, and can usually hang on for around 3 minutes at 12mph, but then the legs will just tighten up especially in the calves and I have to lower the speed to miss the time by 20-30 seconds even when I turn it up all the way to 14mph for the last quarter. Really have no ideal how people train to run for sub 4. I've heard that you are supposed to lean in with the pelvis and allow yourself to fall into each stride, but I have trouble maintaining balance and control when I try that.

      @Praxis Of Logos I've been training for about 6-7 months so not completely a newbie, but it was pretty quick to go from around a 7 minute mile from not running at all to getting under 6 minutes within about 1-2 months, but after that it seems like all out effort doing 400/800/1600 runs 3 times a week just aren't cutting it anymore to improve. I am hoping that the run clinic that I attend can give me professional advice to keep making steady improvements. I've read up on people running every day, or crazy mileage ie over 20 or even 40 miles a week, even over 100 miles for the elite marathon runners, but my legs are really sore after trying to do 7 miles in a week so I'm not anywhere close to that level since I wouldn't even be able to complete a half marathon without walking most of it. I used to be a dunker so I know my legs can't be that weak, but my endurance sucks. It sounds like incorporating cross training with other types of cardio may allow me to finally make some types of improvement since it seems like too much running just burns me out. Thanks for the advice. I'm really hoping to improve to under 5 prior to it getting too hot during the summer which will make it even tougher to train.

      Siu Lau hate to say it man but the only way to really improve running endurance is through more mileage. Sounds like you’re doing a lot of high intensity work which will definitely burn you out overtime. You need longer distance slow running to improve endurance (and also help avoid burnout). You really only need to be doing a hard session once per week. You should look up jack Daniels running formula if you want to learn more. It is considered the gold standard of running training.

    This champ took less time to run a mile than some people take to get from the couch to the refrigerator .
