i started taking running seriously about 2 years ago, and this was my goal, to break 5 minutes in the mile. I've always been one of the slower runners, with a mile pr of 6:53 in the beginning of 10th grade. after my first cross country season ever in 10th grade, the time dropped to about a 6:30, which wasn't much of an improvement. Although, I had very high hopes to drop the time even more, heading into the track season that year. But disaster struck, and I fractured my leg; but it worked out, because that's when COVID started, and everyone else never had a track season either. So during the summer in 2020, I trained a lot, and I saw a definite improvement in the next cross country season. But by the next spring during the 2021 track season, in the first meet, I broke 6 minutes! with a time of 5:58. Almost a whole minute off of my previous personal best in a little over a year. And at the end of that season, my mile time was down to a 5:28. So I trained a lot over the summer yet again, and saw another massive cross country improvement, which gave me the most hope for breaking 5 minutes in the mile before graduating. Heading into my last high school track season, as a senior, a 5 minute mile actually seems possible. After my first meet about a week ago, I ran a 5:10 mile, 10 seconds will surely fall throughout the season!

Maybe your doing the wrong type of training try incorporating more speed work ,tempos and fartleks and you will see improvements right away. 400X8 or 800X4 are good workouts to start with your probably just doing a lot of easy mileage which is great but you should be doing 80 percent easy 19.89 percent hard workouts .11 strides then maybe start working into harder workouts like one that I did was 400X25 so just keep pushing those workouts try to hit some where between 40-60 miles a week

You’re absolutely right regarding speed work. I joined a local athletics club last year and started training for the 400m. I have been doing a lot of repeat 300m and raw speed work (80m-150m reps), but very little distance work. I decided to do an all-out road mile out of curiosity during the COVID shutdown and got a 4:42. I’m 31 years old, so no spring chicken, but am almost certain that the speed workouts have vastly improved my mile time without having a previous benchmark to compare it to. I would also say hills are the most underrated workout for runners. Very informative video - really liked the tips on rest and relaxation 👍🏼

I'm enjoying this video very much. I'm a 48-year-old guy with the dream of running the mile in 4m 59s on 6 May, 2024, 70 years after Roger Bannister became the first man to break 4 for the distance. I'm hoping to do my run at the Roger Bannister track, whose build he oversaw while he was a student at Oxford. I've run for 4 years, although only stepped it up in the last 2, increasing mileage to 25-30, general stuff, with a speed session every week, either at the track or of my own inventing. I trialled a mile about a year ago. It was 5m 27s. I run the 400m in 65.5 and the 5k in 19m 11s (I know that's slow compared to my mile and 400m time). i've got eight months to train properly. Wish me luck.

Hey I know this video is 3 years old; I've come back to it several times in the last month. I appreciate your tone and general philosophy of training I'm 33M, used to wrestle (9 years, through one year at a D3 school). I loved running but have no idea what I could have done; I think my best 5k was around 19:30 I've been trying to set PR's again both because I've been depressed and trying to quit drinking. After recovering from another injury I ran a 6:25 mile and then 6:06 a month later. I haven't run any more trials (running 3-4 days a week, easy if hung over and either long (50 minutes) or fast (200m repeats at 5:45 pace)) if less hung over. Mostly wanted to say thank you and throw that out there. My goal presently is to try and hit 5:45 in 3 weeks, then take a month for a trail marathon, and return to the mile work. I have no idea how fast I'll progress (limited in large part by the binge drinking) but I like having a 6-12 month goal, which is seems like this provides. If nothing else I can keep chipping away and aiming for smaller goals. If you have any perspective or advice would love to hear it, otherwise thanks for the video man much appreciated

Hey sam..thanks for your comment and you have done an awesome job thus far. Well done with your workouts. You are fit. My best advice is to type into the search bar on my channel "1600m tips" or "1 mile" etc. I have made a lot of videos on how to run faster over this distance (and others) that I am sure can help you. The fact that you have the desire to get ahead in your fitness and racing tells me nothing is going to be impossible for you. You really have to be obsessed and get immersed with what you are doing to be successful in this sport and you have that type of tenacity. Keep up the superior work and me posted on your progress.

My time was 3:33:22 It was not sub 3:30 but I am still very happy with my time cause I only trained for 6 months.

I'm currently trying to run a half marathon route i've mapped from my house, but i still don't think i can make it. Leg strength isn't really what i'm worried about currently. There will always be time for pistol squats and if i move back to Pittsburgh insane hill sprints, but right now i'm after this distance, and after that strength and conditioning for my 5k, though considering i have a sort of competition that only requires 2 miles so i'll just see how i handle it Lol. Appreciated the video alot I can't wait to see the improvements, my goal by November is to have an 18:00 minute or less 5k and 4 one armed push ups. Fitness is amazing haha,

Currently at a 5:26 mile time ran as a sophomore which is only 4 seconds faster than what you ran as a freshman, which is absolutely ridicules by the way, I mean I didn't even run a mile as a freshman because I wasn't interested in running at first, but than when I saw a video of Roger Bannister breaking 4 minutes in the mile, the first sub 4 ever in the world, than I got inspired to break a 4 minute mile for one of my main running goals, and so I saw your video after I broke 6 minutes in the mile for the first time (5:56) and it really inspired and especially after I ran a 20:34 5k on a pretty difficult and hilly course for XC this year as a junior, I'm inspired and think I can break 5 minutes in the mile this coming season. I'm taking the recoveries and the nutrition and all the small things a lot more seriously now than I was before, as I believe it will get me SO much farther than I'm right now. My fastest 400m sprint is 64 seconds as a freshman and now I think I might be able to break 60 seconds now, which will be the start to my Road to Sub 4 minute mile journey. I ran a 2:25 800 during one of my mile races as well as a 3:05 1k in the same mile race, so I know I can hold sub 5 pace for atleast 1k but now I'm going to try to run a sub 3:40 1200m, and than after that, try to work on that last lap, and than I'll break 5 minutes for the first time ever. Thanks so much for your video, and I'll also be more patient than I was last year XD.

My body was conditioned good but we never hit the weight room I think lifting a little bit would help push through that pain. Some good workouts my coach made us do was 10 400s going faster each set it was a killer then 5 200s. Then on Friday fun days was mountain days and I'm in the heat too I ran mountains to fulfill my potential but be cautious of the trail and animals I encountered some snakes.

I decided to try it today after watching your video last night and I understood you saying to start slow. Before covid I was 510 175 13% body fat and could run a mile in 6:15 on a treadmill most days. My all time record is 5:52... Now I'm 200 and probably 35 % percent body fat and probably can do I mile in 9 minutes I haven't tried. I did start training though... The speed is 12 miles per hour and I was able to do it for a whole minute discounting the time it takes the treadmill to get to said speed. I did about 4 reps and I felt incredible... I have a long way to go but I know once I start shedding body fat I'll be way faster... Thanks for making this video and giving me a place to start... Is a treadmill even a legit way to do it or is it cheating..

Question: I've been training my brother to get back into running after a few years. In the span of a month Ive gotten him from running a 8:30 down to 5:00. The last time he ran he didn't even break a sweat or complain of being tired anymore. Our training consists of a .5 mile warmup between 6-7 am and then running 1-2 miles at 10 or 11. We try to run a consistent pace thats comfortable for us, but lately I've used the last mile to set at the 5 min mile pace and see how far he can go. We do this 4 days a week. We rest Friday. Im gone Sat-Mon working, so i try to have someone else run him those days. Im really confused and floored at how fast he's progressing; I expected him to meet 5 min after 6 months or more. Should I keep our training schedule thats worked thus far or should I start making him run more miles at a slower pace? I haven't been able to find a good consistent baseline for him since he keeps improving

The Mile is really who can sprint the last lap where as the 5k,10km etc. is a battle of the endurance. My 5km time is a 16:50 with perfect weather. Is that good because you've gotten me interested in longer runs and I watched Cheptegei's break the world record, but at the time I still felt that my 16:50 was slow. I really never had the motivation to run longer distances because my personal best in the 5km is more than 4 minutes off than the world record and my mile pb is only 77 seconds away from the world record ( only is a way of saying I'm closer than my 5km , not saying it's easy to make this difference ).

Played soccer up till freshman year. Quit, and let myself get out of shape, hit puberty and was pretty unhappy with body. Fast forward years this year I’m a senior, I signed up for cross country and started running over the summer. This year was first year on cross, first year being a “runner”. Sophomore year I ran a 7:45 mile, today for the end of the cross season we did a mike time trial and I got 5:38. I am super happy with this, but hoping to by summer of this year, achieve a sub 5 mile. I live in Illinois, so weather can limit my training. What are some tips you have for training for speed inside, when there is snow on the ground and I can’t run on the track?

That is awesome Manchu! Your best running years are well into the future. VERY well done with that 5:38 mile. You are only going to get better and will one day go sub 5 for sure. Keep me posted.

Coach, do you think it's feasible for a beginner runner (e.g., 21-23min 5k, 50min 10k -- avg 40 MPW volume) to significantly improve their mile time while primarily focused on preparing for a marathon over a 16week period? I realize that it's likely that an average beginner runner putting in a lot more miles and doing a good portion of those miles at threshold/tempo paces will result in better overall fitness and thus naturally improve a mile time somewhat--however, the specialized focus of the weekly running is to prepare for a marathon, so I'd assume the longer distances will improve more directly than a single mile alone. I'm not sure if that makes sense or is accurate. From what I have read and researched thus far, the mile specifically is improved with a lot more track-based work and a lot less volume of miles overall. Aerobic conditioning is important for all distances from the mile onward, but obviously much less so for the mile than for the marathon. Thus, is it fair to assume that longer runs at slower paces, and even tempo runs aimed at marathon pace are not really beneficial for increasing an all out 1 mile? Would it be advisable to make one of my track/speed days a workout that's very specific to a 1mile runners training? 400m repeats? On the other side of the coin, just as longer aerobic base building imparts likely some positive benefit to the 1 mile, do 400m repeats impart some off-target benefit to a marathon time too? I hope my thoughts and questions are easy to understand...sometimes I write things that I think make sense, but seem jumbled a bit.

Yes, as long as you continue to work on your anaerobic training. The more fast running you do the higher your chances or recruiting more fast twitch muscle fibers. So, as long a you are working on tempo runs, speed workouts, hills, fartlek training you can still improve over the mile distance even while training for mainly the marathon. Of course, MANY variables that go into setting a new personal best i.e. jogging on easy days, nutrition, rest etc...but certainly doable.

Yo Nathan I play lacrosse and I run a lot but not consistently, and I can run a 5:25 mile right now. This summer I really want to break 5 but I’m not sure what a realistic goal is. When i run 525 I literally have to give it all my body is capable of and I haven’t improved my time in a couple months.

@rundreamachieve 3 жыл бұрын

be patient. What you are aiming to do is a very aggressive goal. The fact that you have run 5:25 already tells me you can run a 4:59. Continue to train at sub 5 minute mile pace if only for a few seconds i.e. repeat 200ms on the track at 37 seconds etc. Lengthen out duration of your tempo runs to around 5 miles, focus on those long runs, don't run long, slow and easy every weekend. JOG on recovery days. You'll be a sub 5 minute miler in due time. Keep me updated.

Hey bro, I am in year 9. I have never trained in my life specifically for athletics. I can currently run a 5:30 mile. I am the best in my school for anything 800m and over. I was at least 10 pounds overweight last year. I had no hope in athletics at all. The way I was able to lose weight and get a decent mile time was that I rode my bike 8km 3 times a week (4km back and forth from school.) I want to run a sub-5-minute mile by the end of next year. Any specific tips?

@rundreamachieve 3 жыл бұрын

Here is some inspiration for you. I ran 5:30 the first time I ran the mile in the 9th grade, lowered it down to 5:09 by the end of the year. Sophomore year (10th grade),...4:38, 11th grade....4:32....12th grade....4:25. You are WELL on your way to running under 5 minutes. Congrats on your success and let me know when you run that 4:59 or faster. It is not a matter of IF but WHEN.

@markshort1988 3 ай бұрын

Im on 5:20. Will try to incorporate the strides for that fast twitch. Need to get some more longer slow runs in. What speed should i do a long run at?

@rundreamachieve 3 ай бұрын

7:36-8:23 per mile or 4:32-5:13 kilometer pace for easy runs, 6:41 mile/4:09 kilometer pace for somewhat faster paces...don't run every long run easy and slow, alternate one faster long run with the following week easy. Keep up the great work. You'll be under 5 minutes in due time.

Hello! Currently, my personal best in the mile is 5:31. I started running track in April of this year and I have been running about 55-60 miles per week this summer. I have done some speed work and made sure to stay properly hydrated and get enough sleep. What else can I do to improve my time? It seems like everyone else is able to run faster by doing less work.

@rundreamachieve 2 жыл бұрын

Stay patient, focus on training at, near and far below sub 5 minute mile pace even if iit is for a few seconds....continue to develop your stamina and endurance with the long runs and make sure to vary the pace of those..always follow the next weekend with an easy, long run to ensure you recover. Strides (5-6x100m) 2 times per week to focus on form and explosive-type drills. Continue to pay attention to your sleep, hydration and nutrition. Check out www.nutritiongeeks.com, our sister site. Visualize yourself daily breaking this barrier. It has to start in the mind before it becomes a reality in real life. Keep me updated.

Well done having run that outstanding 5:22 sko. Continue to develop your speed and train at paces near and far below sub 5 minute mile pace. Work on that speed as that is the only way coupled with building that strong base of mileage you will do it. I KNOW you can run well under 5 minutes. It isn't a question of IF but when and it will more than likely be sooner than later. That 3rd lap is the lap you want to stay strong mentally in as the last lap will bring you home with adrenaline and the crowd screaming. Keep me updated on your progress.
