- This was the first month of training in an attempt to eventually run a 5 minute mile. The plan was to increase mileage with each month, with the first month being just 1 mile, enough to get me started. Unfortunately, I tore my ATFL ligament in my ankle and am still in the recovery process. There won't be any new videos on this until probably late 2021, early 2022.

Hi everyone! I'm sorry. I said some dumb things in this video and just wanted to clarify them.
1. 10 minutes of exercise per day is not optimal. I didn't mean for it to come off that way. I meant 10 minutes is better than 0, so if you're just starting out with longer distance running like I was, then get out there and run a bit.
2. I didn't mean to portray that running 1 mile per day could get me to a 5 minute mile, or that 1 mile per day is "best practice." It most certainly is not. I apologize if it came off that way. Before this challenge, I was doing too much research on training philosophies and got a bit overwhelmed, so I just decided to start running 1 mile per day for 1 month, then reassess about upping my miles and add in anaerobic work.
3. I suffered an ankle injury playing basketball almost immediately after I posted this video. It was quite serious and has affected my ability to run, so I'm not sure when I'll release part 2. Good news is I've started running again recently, but I have to take my time to prevent another injury. I will have a new video as soon as I can.
Thank you for the support, it means a lot.
hope you recover! i ran a 4:37 mile in highschool and i would just like to say that while your method of 1 mile per day seems noble, its most likely not enough to hit 5:00 pace ever. You probably need a bit more mileagle, a couple nice easy 4 or 5 mile days, as well as some speed work as 5 min pace is, simply put, fast.
I was an all American track and cross country athlete in college. And everyone asks me how I got fast...surprisingly...the majority of my mileage was just around 35 miles a week....I’m such a firm believer in just running a little bit everyday and never taking a day off. While I don’t think it’s good to just run only 1 mile. I firmly firmly believe that someone could become a good runner by running 2 miles a day, everyday, for 365 days. Would love to see someone do that as a video.
@@Dojocartwheel I had starting running 2 miles a day right after this but before the injury. It definitely felt different than 1 mile. I really appreciate your comment man and Ill keep it in mind.
Habit Allies - I Do Habit And Skill Challenges if you want cool little track workouts that will help your mile time, let me know! You can even make a couple videos of you doing them?!
@@KoreaKingy Hope you are feeling better now ! Will wait for your update.
I’m actually impressed that he knows the difference between a 1600 and a mile when he starts behind the line
Right! I thought he was trying to get a running start before I remembered 4 laps isn’t actually a mile like we said in high school
@@MrNoName7474 what do you mean 4 laps is not a mile?
Samson Weldemichael Tracks are metric (400m) and a mile is about 1609m so you’d have to run a bit extra
@@MrNoName7474 Oh! so i was lied to. I thought 1600 meter was a mile
except the fact that he stops at the mile line and doesn't go to the finish so he does it 9m short
I'm shorter than most people 5'7" and always have been. My Dad was Army so we moved around a lot. In the mid 1970s I was in the 7th grade and we moved from Europe to Texas in February. At that time the schools did a timed mile run and the beginning and end of the year. I knew I was not a fast runner and as we ran the mile in my class I knew everyone in my group was a head of me. When I crossed the finish line the Coach say "Price he must be the slowest kid in school." My friends laughed, and I laughed it off. It bothered me so I told my Dad that night. My dad ran track and played basketball in college and coaches when I was a baby. He told me "you have two choices - be the slowest kid in school and eat it, or you can get up with me and run and I'll help you get faster." So I did, I ran with him all summer long. We did sprints, strides and fartlek training. My dad had me do jump training, which was relatively unheard of in the early 70s. When school started back I knew I was a lot faster, but my dad never showed me my time. He's didn't want me thinking I had hit a goal, but to push for my potential. When we ran the mile the next year, I left my group in the dust and passed most of the kids in the leading group. When I passed Coach Flemming he said "Price what did you eat this summer? You are the hasted kid I have ever seen!" Coach would brag on me, make me run for other teachers, coaches and administrator and I received two award that year; fastest mile time, and most improved athlete.
I was hooked on running after that. We moved to Georgia, then Alabama and I was always the fastest kid in school. I played baseball, football and ran track and was always a key athlete on the team. Running fast allowed me to play a lot of ball and have a lot of recognition in school. Later in the Army I was always one of the fastest soldier in the unit, and for a while ran intermural track on base. I tried to break a 4:00 mile for a while, but I only got as close as 4:13. I had to quit because I deployed, but I was always proud of my 4:13.
Later I helped coach my daughter's High School track team and now I am training me 14 year old son get ready for cross country.
I tell my story because its about two things; the importance of learning to work hard for a goal, and how that hard work pays dividends in life.
Just sharing....
very nice
Thats amazing
Good to hear this story.
4:13 massive respect, sir.
And then you woke up.... Just kidding, that's a cool story.

@@jessie1105 i wonder how fast he could run a mile
Ian Sid I don’t remember his exact pr but it was somewhere from 3:54 - 3:56 I think
haha yessss!
@@jessie1105 3:50 actually, at like age 19!
You need to try running one lap in 1:15 and see how it feels. That's the pace you'll need to maintain for a 5 minute mile. Then you need to start incorporating speed intervals like fast 300 meters, 400, 500, etc as well as longer runs (at least 3-4 miles). If you do that consistently for a few months you might get closer to your goal.
Thank you. I was researching a plan for this. Trying to get back in shape! 👏🏼
@@joshuamoreno2982 also before you do this you need to build your base. Can’t run that fast for that long without the aerobic capacity
A lot of "milers" will do long runs of up to 18 miles. The more endurance you can build the better.
He said he wants to do 1 mile a day to prove anyone can do it without crazy training. However you are correct about what you said. There's also running form, spikes, periodization, nutrition, sleep, strength and injury prevention workouts, plyometrics, flexibility, vo2 max workouts, tempo runs, building your aerobic base, and a ton of other stuff he could do but the whole point is that he's doing something anyone could do without a coach and/or doing tons of research
Yeah
now hold up, let me get this strait...
you didn't want to slip in the rain,
so instead of running on the wet track,
you ran in the wet grass?!?!?!
Haha that track is beat up badly, but the grass is great turf. I kid you not... it felt like I was going to slip and fall on the track.
I mean I don’t know anybody who runs on a wet track without spikes.

Man we need to stfu. Here’s a guy who’s promoting running and good health and running a mile a day and we’re attacking him. Yeah some of us like me came from cross country and know we’ll never get to 5:00 with 1 mile a day but who cares. 90% of people don’t run AT ALL.
I don't know. I am sure that a lot of people (albeit a very small percentage of the population, granted) can reach 5-minute mile status without running more than a mile per day. Dane Beck suggested both intervals AND long runs are needed. I think that only intervals are needed, if the person is already quite fit and stays quite active otherwise. I ran a few 5-minute miles in high school, and I never really did much training as far as long runs go. I'm now 51, as of April 8, so maybe I should see if I could get back down to a 5-minute mile. Any challengers? ;)

"We need to stfu"? "we're attacking him"? I haven't done any of that shit. Have you been? If so, then just stop doing it.
@@back_to_thefuture2566 Hey me too, I'm also 19 and have been running more, I started just a few weeks before you. It would be cool if we could maybe encourage each other and help reach our running goals?
Running one mile a day for 20 years, no matter the intensity, won’t get you to a 5 minute mile. You gotta do more then 3 miles a week man but good luck!
Habit Allies - I Do Habit And Skill Challenges you need to build up a strong aerobic base for the mile, I ran a 4:32 mile and a 16:33 5k after 54 mile weeks. I would look up lydiard training for science stuff
Habit Allies - I Do Habit And Skill Challenges yeah, I run for my high school. In order to build stamana and train well, you have to build a repitoire of workouts. Typically 2 workouts a week (hard runs), 1 long run a week (20% of your total weekly mileage) and then all the rest of the days just run easy for recovery. Built mileage by increasing 10% per week. Anymore and you will inevitably get injured. I've been doing this through school for about a year and I'm running 45 miles a week at this point, slowly Increasing mileage each week. I started at a 7:03 and I now run a 5:20 mile. I'm also only 15 though so that's a factor. But try to start incorporating more miles and you will see success. Good luck!
I would try a "Paavo" training program, that's what our school uses
Some annoying person It’s generally hard to judge older runners’ training programs, since they tended not to record slow runs as they were seen as “ungentlemanly.”
Habit Allies - I Do Habit And Skill Challenges - Everyone before me is right. You can maybe hit sub 5 with your system, but you’re not doing yourself any favors. Mile training is not like 400 m training, where you primarily repeat shorter distances. The mile requires an enormous aerobic base, something which is most effectively gained by running a lot every week, mostly slow. Bernard Lagat your example for high mileage training, is considered a low mileage runner. His teammates often comment that it’s like he never runs. 100+ miles per week is much more common amongst professionals of his caliber.
I broke 6 by staying on 6:00 mile pace then sprinting the last 300 meters of the track and got a 5:48 😂
Nice job
I mean that is the idea lol, idk how else someone would break the barrier
Lol my best is a 6:07 minute you would destroy me
Alex N I lost count of laps and kicked with a lap to go and didn’t want to look like a pussy so I just sprinted the last 500m😂
AvOid_ZoMb1e -YT I ran a 4:42 by going 4:32 pace the first 2 laps then slowing doen
Eliud kipchoge did 4:36 minute miles for 26.2 consecutive miles🤯
actually 4:34.84
kipchoge is a beast
I don't think he's even human lol
And he is a cheater just like any other pro athlete. That's not human Performance
@@csisticsakanyfeju1415 what do you mean?
The nice thing about runs based on distance is the faster you get, the less time you need to run for :)
It’s weird how they have a soccer field in the track. In America there is usually a football field in the track.
Here is Houston Texas they convert the fields in to soccer or football, depends what's going on. So nothing big to worry about. I also see football posts on the field.
Hector Parada yea that’s true I live in houstom
@@trunks7412 Right, Just depends what kind of sport they have going on.
Hector Parada yea
Hector Parada I run a 5 mile everyday
As a former, long time ago, 800m and mile track runner, the easiest way to get to sub 5 minutes is to be training doing 200, 400, 800, 1200m intervals and knowing cold your 200m splits. Everything about these distances is being able to very very very efficiently, run the exact 200m pace required. You need to train at 28, 30, 32, 34 second 200s, over and over, so that you can easily run 37-38s which is a 5 minute mile. If you don't force your body to reacquire the toe strike running technique with long strides, you will never be able to easily run a 37 second 200 meter pace - which is a very slow track pace - and why when you see a real track athlete run a 5 minute mile, it looks very easy. Get your 30 second 200m technique re-established, and then just do intervals to get your heart back into condition.
Hey great job man! Loved watching your progress.
Thanks Brendan or Cam or both of you lol
I loved your latest chess video as well
I just want an 8 minute mile man, just 8 minutes 😭
I believe that you can.
Have you been training at all?
If your not there yet which you might be it’s been a year try running a 2 minute 400 meter then try 4 minutes for 800 then do that until you can run a mile with 2 minutes a lap
6:00 minutes is still so far away from 5. My first mile was 5:58 and it took me another 3 years to break 5 (it can be done a LOT sooner than that if you are serious about training, but 5 is still a world harder than 6). I wish you the best of luck with your challenge though!
I ran a 5:25 last year in track, I'm in cross country right now, I'm trying to get under 5 by the end of next track season
@@jacobfaughtrunningproducti974 Best of luck! I ended freshman year with a 5:27 and then dropped that down to 5:08 sophomore year which almost 20 seconds so you could do it. That first season of xc certainly helped i think along with experience.
@@MrNoName7474 I also have indoor track season for extra experience, since my league I'm in is kind of small, some people from my school are getting some people from around our league to start a club track team, we want to get to the indoor track club state high school championship
@@jacobfaughtrunningproducti974 Sounds like some solid goals. I went to a massive high school with an amazing track program that won their conference championships 9 years in a row and we rarely sent runners to states. Only sent the XC team to states my sophomore year. I ran competitively for 8 years though with high school and college club and I never once set foot on an indoor track and wish I had.
@@MrNoName7474 last year I was at a 5:45 in junior high but it’s the middle of the season this year and I’ve ran a 5:15
I dont know about other people but I've ran on a track many times while it was raining and I have yet to fall.
Yea I don't think most tracks would be a problem, but this track is pretty worn out
Was i the only one happy af to see that One Piece inspired ending?
I was looking for this comment.
I can't wait to see how you're going to improve. I hope you can get close to 5min mile with just running a mile a day. I am 41 years old and right now I can do a 5:45 min mile. I am running 5 mile jogging on Mondays, recovery on Tuesdays, 20min threshold pace on Wednesdays, recovery on Thursdays, and interval runs on Fridays. I have been doing this for 3 moths, and I went from a 6:30 mile to a 5:45 mile.
Awesome. 41 here and just ran my pr mile at 6:05. Hoping to break 6 this week. I've been training for two months.
I been running a mile 1-2 times a week for two months now, I started at 7:47, my current mile time is 6:32.
That's some great improvement, nice job
@@KoreaKingy Heyyy, I dont mean to brag but I just hit a 6:18 😏
I tried my first mile run and I got 7:22, the third or fourth time I pushed myself harder and got 6:09, a lot is just pacing yourself correctly
Good job. It will take a lot of hard work to get to sub six. I am training for middle school cross country. First day I got 7:27. I am now at 6:08.believe in yourself and you will get there👍
Is 10 mins. A mile good?
Great video, very well put together and documented!
Good stuff brotha keep it up
I’ve watched a couple of your videos and I love the content. I love how genuine you are as a person and your positivity. I read your description and a few of the comments and saw you hurt your ankle, but if you’re still really wanting to run a 5 minute mile after you’re recovered I will gladly give you a weekly routine. I’m a 4:23 guy myself and I assure you running 5 minutes is not hard with the right training. I wish you a speedy recovery and keep up the great content!
Hey thanks for your comment. I really appreciate it.
Sure I'd love to hear what you have as a weekly routine.
I'm probably close to where I began since I haven't run for 3 months consistently. There is still some lingering calf pain but it's getting better.
Habit Allies - I Do Habit And Skill Challenges well for starters with this routine you’re gonna want to do around 20-25 miles a week. As many other people have stated you’re not going to see much progress if you only do a mile a day. I recommend on tuesdays, Thursday’s, and saturdays you run anywhere from 3-6 miles just nice and easy. This will help you build a base. Next on Monday as and Wednesday’s you’re going to want to do something a little quicker and close to the pace you want to run your mile at. I recommend running 400/or 200 repeats on mondays and Wednesday do something similar to a ladder workout. Start around a 200 then go to a 400 then a 800 then a 1200 And then work your way back down. Your times for the speed days should be close to what you want to run as a pace but don’t take it too quick at first or you might hurt yourself again, and remember to always stretch and jog atleast 800 before starting a workout. Finally on sundays use it as a day off to rest your legs as you’re not used to running this much. Feel free to adjust the days or the distance for what works best for you but that’s just what I recommend. As for the race itself you don’t need a pace maker but one would help or atleast someone to give you your lap splits. I hope this layout helps. I look forward to more videos!
@@cliffordlittleton7482 Thanks man, this is great. Straightforward and simple, and something I can build up to.
I've been trying to run longer lately and I've gotten up to 3 miles at a time. But I start to feel some calf pain at around 3 miles and have to call it quits. I think it's related to my ankle injury, and I'm hoping the pain dissipates over time.
One question, Should the 800 and 1200 be close to goal pace? I can't do a 2:30 800m or 3:45 1200m at the moment. Should I just do the best I can, or should I do repeat 200s/400s on Wednesday too until I can hit those marks?
Habit Allies - I Do Habit And Skill Challenges sorry it took me so long I’ve been a bit busy, but the 800 and 1200 should be close to goal pace or faster than goal pace. However, you don’t want to start out that fast at first. You want to slowly ease into it. I would recommend starting your 800 pace closer to 2:45-3:00 range and 1200 from 4:00-4:30 range. I would keep it at that range till you run under 6 minutes in the mile and once you do that I would make the times a little faster.
And on the 200/400 repeats I would do those a little faster than the 800 pace so if you’re doing a 3:00 800 than do a 80 second 400 or a 37-40 second 200.
Also I would start with only doing one workout a week till you really get used to running fast. I would start with just the Wednesday workout of either 200 repeats or 400 repeats and I wouldn’t do more than 8 200 and 4 400 reps.
The process is going to be long at first since you haven’t been a runner for too long but once you get into the flow of things it will get 100x easier I promise you just have to set a good base and good habits now.
I did 40-45 miles a week for months and couldn’t break 5. However, the bare minimum is insane mental toughness and generally solid aerobic fitness

Tips:
1. Improve your form, search videos on proper arms and legs for better efficiency and more power.
2. Maybe commit to the 1 mile a day idea and do speed workouts like 4x400, 8x200, etc. at a sub 5 (or close to) pace.
3. Even out your splits, I’m not sure the exact time differences in your laps but each lap was significantly slower than the last. The third should in theory be your slowest, with your first and last being the fastest (about the same time) if you blow up too much in the first lap, you will have nothing left for the end.
4. Run with someone who can break 5. If you try to run a sub 5 alone for the first time it will be harder than with competition or a pacer. The mental barrier is too strong in most cases to break it alone.
5. Invest in spikes and other performance wear. Spikes are lighter than normal shoes which save energy and they keep you on your toes which increases your overall speed. Also invest in compression shorts. They improve athletic performance as well as prevent injury.
There are many more things but that’s for another time. If you follow these within 6 months I guarantee you could get into mid to low 5s.
This is such an inefficient way to train for anything. I love it.
this is so inspiring! thanks for doing it and keep it up!
Awesome. Very inspiring to watch the next generation pushing hard!
I started seeing huge improvements when using an 80/20 running philosophy. I focus on 4 easy workouts to 1 hard workout that is planned out. Like you said, you might be able to get to a 5 min mile only doing 1 mile a day but it will take looong of time. I think up'ing the mileage volume slowly would be a smart, yet safe for your joints, way to get there.
Love this video I'm currently running in college and I'll tell you in high school I ran the 4x100,longjump,400,4x400, and here and there the 800 never a mile. As of now in college transferred to a full on distant runner and now and doing steeplechase,5k,and 10k I know that 5 min barrier for me was hard to get because it took a year for my body to get yse to the distance and impact of long 16 mile runs etc I love the fact of this video and its amazing

He has run a 52 second 400m so should be able to do it. I ran a 52 sec 400m from 100m Training at age 16. I then decided to be an 800m runner and did 6 months of 40km per week running and ran 4:48. I did a few more years of 50-60 km per week training and got down to 4:27 and 1:56 for the 800m and 49.8 for the 400m.

i am 40, weight 210, have a weak left leg due to previously snapped Achilles. I have a 7:49 best. (since turning 35. I never had a timed mile before that but have a near 2 min 800m from 20+ years ago). I have mostly been trying to better my 10k. I knocked 3 minutes off in 6 weeks
If you can run a 6 min mile with only this amount of training, you can totally get under 5 with a more improved and diverse training regimen. You’ll get there.
It's easy to get under 6 minute. As closer you get to 5 it becomes more hard to break a single second.
Great vid - hope you recover from your ankle injury and carry on running.
Interesting channel. Keep up the good work!
When I was in college and playing pickup basketball every day I was in great shape. Just for shits and giggle I went to the University of Oklahoma track and field stadium to see how fast I could run a mile and it about killed me to run a 5:40. I simply can't comprehend how somebody could run a 4 minute mile after doing that. They would lap me!
And to think a guy just ran a 2 hr marathon, basically a 4:30 mile but 26 times in a row back to back. Amazing
4:40s guy here, breaking 5 is almost the rite of passage in highschool distance running from bad to good. this is my first year at the collegiate level, and my decent highschool mile time is now dwarfed by guys whove been running 4:20s since highschool
4:40s is what best high school freshmen in the city run
A 4:45 mile got me 3rd in the high school county meet...then a 4:46 got me 27/32 at a college indoor invitational. Was running 30 miles a week with 2x/week intervals in HS one and 60-70 a week all that winter in college without a single interval workout for nearly 3 months. Was much stronger in college though tore a hammy before I could see what the next spring brought (was shooting for sub 4:30)

Carl8432 _ and you must be an asshole :))) and you know what? I don't give a shit. I'd much rather be fat than an internet troll. Ooga booga, bye
gary1961 thank you so much!!
@@jesss6574 great job tell me how it goes
To train for a mile it is a good idea to run farther than a mile
ChickenLife101 but I think the point of this was to see how well he could do by just doing 1 mile a day
Lets just take a moment and appreciate that we all found this young guy who cleary just started youtube but already creates content of good quality! 👏
I will stick around for new videos. 😊
You motivated me to give this a try. THNX👏😄
i would KILL for a 10 minute mile. I can only walk right now. 15:30 is my best. Lifetime of asthma so I never had a cardio base. Now that medications are better asthma doesn’t bother me anymore, but I have no lung capacity.
ferretapocalypse you should try walk to 5k or other similar programs. All of the plans are super accessible, and often make use of workouts that alternate between running and walking, to allow that buildup of aerobic capacity
ferretapocalypse man my friend has asthma too and he’s ran a 4:58 mile of that gives you any motivation just know you’re not limited
Don’t let it stop you I have asthma and take an inhaler 4 times a day but that has allowed me to run a 5:11 mile and an 18:46 3 mile
Ty Brennan the asthma doesn’t bother me anymore. It’s the lack of lung capacity from a lifetime of avoiding any kind of cardio. I can’t jog for more than a minute if that
ferretapocalypse lung capacity can be developed in many ways no matter what stage you are at in life, don’t give up.
Mad respect for the one piece ending card lol
Your'e the first person to point that out! Haha
Keep up the good work man just subscribed
Thank you for the extra motivation .. I once rain 4:15mile the good old days .
Great content, keep it up!
For me, the meat of the video was the development of a habit and the power of consistency. The goal of a 5 minute mile was just the vehicle chosen for the experiment. If I start to hate the process and quit, or if it requires a time commitment I don’t sustain, then I won’t hit the goal anyway!
If we can eliminate burnout, how much further would we be when it comes to finances, relationships, sales, physical aspirations, etc? Again, the goal is not to make the Olympics, but to experiment with ways to achieve success. If I LOVE the process, I will stick with it, and the days just pile up (and quickly, like you said), and before I know it there is massive PROGRESS, and the results will come because I didn’t quit!! Starting a new goal or habit, , as hard as that is sometimes, is still much easier than not stopping :-)
Great video, so glad I ran across it - you have a new subscriber on the first view of your stuff, and I can’t wait to come up with fun ways to challenge myself in several key areas of my life 😀👍🏻
BTW, I’m not a non-athlete who doesn’t understand running. I’m a successful 51-year-old ex college sub 2-minute 800m runner, but have often quit prematurely on goals, yet is still excited to learn a new perspective and conquer that next mountain!
Thank you for this. It was exactly my perspective coming into this challenge. :)
I saw the name and thought it was a HS runner from Colorado back in the day.
If you can run a 52 sec 400m, a 5 min mile really shouldn't take you too much training, a 5min mile is a great time, a 52 second 400m is basically impossible for the majority of people
definitely not true, a 400m and a 1600m are totally different beasts. a fast 400m runner may have the speed and stamina to run one fast lap, but it takes real cardio to go a while mile fast. Its a totally different energy system. While a 52 second 400 means you havw the talent to go sub 5, it definitely does not make it easy.
@@jakesutter6825 hence why I said shouldnt take too much training, if he has the talent to run a 52 second 400m all he has to do is work a little on his aerobic capacity
Shahiru Perera I think you’ll need a whole lot of aerobic training because 1600 is 4x a 400 which you prbly already know. I ran the 400 and 1600 in high school and I can tell you now that there was a kid who ran a 51sec 400, but he couldn’t break 5:40 in the 1600m. Yeah 400 is a long sprint and very high intensity but a 1600 is both high intensity and very demanding in terms of aerobic capacity.
@@jakesutter6825 I ran 400 m in 55s and a mile in 4:49 min (1'500 m in 4:20, 85 min), so there is a relation.
@@joan7446 i ran a 54 and a 4:37, so there definitely is a correlation. Yet thats not to say that it only requires a bit aerobic work as OP claims, most likely its going to require intense training over a period of 6 months or more
Really nice job! Going to do it!
great insight on balancing between short term max efforts/gains and long term motivation!
Appreciate it!
I ran a 4:51 mile off running about 15-20 miles a week but I ran 4:30 a year later after running 40 miles every week and including 3 hard workouts a week
6:17 Hello backwards walking man!
Great video really enjoyed it man particularly about enjoying the process couldn't agree more
Glad you enjoyed it
You are a beast dude
I would recommend running at least 3 miles a day and making sure you do the right stretches before and after the runs, one mile a day sadly won’t do much for you
To run a 5 min mile you have to be able to run v close to 18 mins for 5k and be running hard but comfortable, I.e. not dead at the end. You wanna be going lots of easy cardio miles, hills and 300m and 400m intervals on that track off a short ish rest. Lots of them. 75s per 400 is really tough
Good job man
wow! for someone who doesn’t run your mile time is really fast! keep up the good work 👍
I don't understand how you only have 55 subscribers...
holy crap i just noticed that as well he definetely deserves more very high quality video.
Paradox Apollo maybe if he provided updates on how his “challenges” went then people would be more interested.
@@MrToirleach I know man. I've been injured but making a comeback. I wish I could've made one sooner :(
@@KoreaKingy no regrets! Always looking forward cos you can't change the past.
He is probably a new guy
I broke my arm hurdling in high school and I spent the rest of the season biking instead of running. 2 hours of biking a day for 2 month dropped my 7:00 mile to a 5:50 mile.
Hello can you explain more of your biking... like what speed? Thanks
@@octaviawynn2227 Most just intervals and preprogrammed settings. If you aren't hurting you are doing it wrong.
this is an amazing goal!!
Thank you! Your channel's great!
Congrats, keep up the hard work, it will pay off physically and mentally. I have just started regularly running a mile everyday for the past month starting on April 19. I am currently on my 1 months mark of running everyday. I have improved significantly. For someone who hasn't ran since 2017, I am doing pretty well. Here are my stats.
April 18th (day 1) - 6:36
May 12th (day 24) - 5:12
My average run is a 5:30 mile.
Why are runners acting as if he didn’t specify the main goal of the video was to prove how important consistency was rather than actually achieving a 5 min mile with this routine..........? How could anyone actually find this video disrespectful or offensive? I hate this world
Sean O
he never claims that this will get him there. It’s a separate thought. Him wanting to get to a 5 minute mile is a separate entity....the consistency aspect is what he’s trying to work on and display with this video....not an actual workout program to get him to his goal of a 5 min mile. All habits are based off of consistency and that is exactly the point he was trying to make to the audience......he never said, “hey guys this is going to get me to a 5 minute mile so I’m going to do this until I get there hahaha!”
Totally. It was a great video and a great concept. A bunch of salty runners in the comments lol.
Sean O So people go off of the titles of videos now?....come on every title is at least somewhat “clickbaity” nowadays. In my eyes the title is almost irrelevant these days. But I can understand what you’re saying.
Hey Sean, the title isnt meant like that. It's two separate entities, thats why I separated them and never stated "I will get there with this." Read my pinned comment for more info
You didn’t run on a wet track? I run on a wet track with no issues often. Definitely a former sprinters view on track workouts.
Consistency is key. I completely agree that if you go too hard every day you wont enjoy running, that is why I learned and go at a comfortable pace on the days I don't want to time my run.
Training for the PAST test for a job Im thinking I want in the USAF, this definitely helped motivate me to go run today, Thanks man, you'll get em next time.
Good luck!
When I was in my early teen years I used to be in a pretty good soccer team. We trained 4 times a week and had at least one important game a week. During a random high school PE test I ran a 5:24 mile while talking to my friend about spider man 2 or 3. Can’t remember which. Anyway the last lap we raced and I got that time. It’s been about 11 years since then and about 4 years ago I partially tore my ACL and my meniscus after failing a skateboard trick down a stair set. Anyway, I never got surgery but did physical therapy on my own. I’m kind of bored so I’m going to try and beat my previous record even with this injury by doing stretches and strengthening exercises. I will attempt sub 5:00 minutes but if not then I will just beat the 5:24. I used to love running prior to this injury. But now it requires strategic knee rest days otherwise I get an inflammation in my knee. I have not run or jog at all in over a year so i will first prepare with a few light jog days and then I will post my current mile time soon.
Update: I have not started running yet as I realized that I needed to first strengthen my knee and gain some flexibility to reduce my chances for injury since it’s been so long. So far it’s feeling great. I will probably not go for the mile run initially. First I gotta see how running feels with my knee like this. Also I need to buy running shoes. This is like a strange online journal lol. I will continue to update with my progress.
Update: it has now been a month since original post. I have since slowly regained strength in my knee and can run more consistently. I started a 6 week Air Force running training program with my friend since he’s joining the Air Force soon. I’m sore everywhere on my legs but luckily his program includes lots of stretching and cool down. I have not attempted a mile run personal best yet. Judging by my pace during 5 mile runs I estimate I’m somewhere between 6:30 and 7:00 minutes. Got a long way to go.
@@rcarb024 what about now
who else saw his watch and thought how he ran a mile in 6 seconds
awesome video bro
I also ran 1 mile for 30 days and
it feels amazing to finish a challenge for 30 days
Love it.
He looks like remy from Flushed Away
if you could get a 3-4 mile long run easy (conversational) pace 8-9 min mile or slower in every week mixed with say 10x200 or 6x400 @goal pace with 2 min rest between reps once a week you should see vast improvement efficiency is the name of the game! good luck
If you run xc how far should your run on your runs?
@@ehammons4629 depends on your history and experience the higher the mileage the better but if you build up too fast you risk injury for 5k a 14 mile long run would be ideal, but not if your injured a day later. you will be faster at 70 miles a week than 40 mpw just gotta get there safely. rule of thumb dont increase mileage more than 10 percent a week and take those easy days EASY!
Great video
Thanks Angel!
Video edit is on point. You’ve earned a subscriber, I’m trying to improve my 5k to 19mins.
Not sure a wet track would cause any injuries.
It's actually a ton safer than running on grass or even fake grass for that matter. Especially if you are wearing spikes
Haha... never doubt the possibility... In several years of competitive running, I never suffered a major injury until one day I ran track 6 years ago and slipped because our track was in rough shape and it had rained. Let's just say that I fell at the perfect angle and tore the ligaments in my knee. I was misdiagnosed as spraining my meniscus and now I have patellar tendonitis... Funny thing was, it was a day before the April fool's meet and and I dusted myself off and still ran that day not feeling I'd torn the ligaments. Went home, took a nap for an hour and woke up to my knee 4 times it's original size... Came into school the next day on crutches and I swear my coach didn't believe me simply because it was April fool's...
Trust me if ur wearing trainers it’s very slippery but if you’re wearing spikes then it’s fine
The slowest time our coach lets us get at our 400m is 55 seconds and that’s on reps 😭
Those are some fast reps
Lol that's like my best time. But again I've only been training track for a year. Cut my timing from 70s.
Great video. I hope you make it your goal one mile at a time. And I’m not skiing about your running goals.
although this to a lot of people is a warm up but i think this demonstrates the value and need for consistent training it works interested to see how long the break the 5 mins
I also run the 400M I opened my sophomore season with a 1:03 with my previous PR fork freshman year a 56:00 and at the end of my season I moved down to a 54:00 after a slow start from 1:03, I’d love for you to make a video on that I would totally use it!
You don't have to have an insane plan but 7 miles a week won't ever get you to sub 5. I bet 6 weeks of training at 30ish mi/wk (with tempo and interval) you could maybe get it. (Taper for 2-3 days).
Adam Martinson Yes it can
@@RebornKaotic Definitely Not for an average person dawg. I'm sure there are a bunch of people that can, but an average runner like you cannot 🍪😂🎅
Adam Martinson I could run a mile in like 6:30 so running 7 miles a week is def possible to get sub 5 and I’m 13 btw excuse you calling me an average person ;-; I also started running like 2 months ago and I was completely out of shape
@@RebornKaotic Talk is cheap, dirt is free. Show me don't tell me.
I will literally PayPal you $100 if you break 5 running 20 miles a week or less😂
Great Job man. Not a lot of people could do what you did. Ignore all of the salty runners, they don’t represent all of us. for an average person, the thought of even running at all disgusts them
I thought you had 4m subs not 4k subs. Underrated channel
Haha thanks Juan. I've just got to upload more I think
