But late

.

Your bad form is not b/c you over swing, it's just that you pull back your shoulders. This is due to how tired you are. If you look at your nice and easy runs you don't pull back your shoulders, but when your in time trials( specifically the 3rd and 4th lap) you start to pull back your shoulders. Also another cause is that people tend to think that pumping your shoulders is to help you increase speed, but in fact it's to help balance out the rotational force produced by the legs.

The best I've seen in a track season is this girl who went 6:08 to 5:16. I didn't think he could go from his original time to a sub 5 even in 6 months.

Hi I'm A Being Completely agree. Been running and coaching middle/ long distance for close to 30 years and I’ve only seen that type of drop in time a few times and it was for very gifted runners. One particularly who grew up playing soccer and then joined the track team his sophomore year In High school. He wound up going sub 4 minutes when he got to college. This guy lacks the overall athleticism to get under 5.

Same here I was able to go from 7:55 to sub 5 this year but that was over cross country and track which is a lot more than 8 weeks. I think going sub 6 would’ve been a little bit more realistic. Still a good video though

Take your fastest 400 time, multiply that by 4, then add 15%...

I started freshman year of high school being in around 6 flat shape, it took me many months to finally run a 4:59. Now several years later my PR is 4:32, unfortunately it gets really hard to shed time the faster you get for many different reasons

For reference in 8 weeks during army basic training I went from a 14:15 two mile (6:30 split) to a 12:12 (5:30 split). The fastest mile I've ran was right under 5:30. That was the fastest I would ever be. Considering there wasn't a lot of professional sports coaching there (we did have a trainer give a 20 min power point on how to run that wasn't well received), I'm surprised I got down to where I did. Eventually I leveled off in my career to around a 6:00 split mile and a 13:15 two mile. What I really learned is that short people can be naturally good at running, tall people (me) can be trained into outpacing most people, and running four times a week for several years will break down your body if not coached right with perfect discipline.

In high school, I started preparing for the military. I did sprints every other day for 2 months. I went from an approximate 8 minute mile to a 5.19 by the time I started transitioning to a harder program

Seeing as I was in the military, I have to put in my 2 cents. I was never a distance runner when I went into the military. I was a sprinter all throughout high school and the USMC was asking me to run 3 miles in 28 minutes. It wasn't that hard actually, I managed 24 minutes. But I knew, if I wanted to run the 18 minute 3 mile to get max score I would have to teach myself how to train myself for 3 miles. Throughout the course of my enlistment, I learned, You got to run more than what the actual race would be. That doesn't just mean run a bunch of three miles, but run 5,6 miles. You have to do it a lot and as often as possible. If you do run a lot, you have to give yourself rest. So I adopted the run one day as hard as you can and rest the next. That way, the training is continuous and you're not burned out by the end of the week or need to take a week off (like the guy in the video did) to compose yourself. Unfortunately, that's about where my teaching myself to run long distances training ended. I didn't strength train my lower body as I should and I didn't do any speed work. I got down to 21 minutes but obviously I couldn't go any further. what I learned from my experiences in high school and the military, if you're training to run a certain distance, you have to run more than that distance and you have to run it often enough to get comfortable doing it. You have to strength train your body; weights and body weight exercises. Running breaks down the body. I found it best to adopt the run one day and rest the next, then run the day after and so on. And lastly, speed train. IF you're running for time, you have to run sprints.

@@ayanreyes1560 way too fast. If you can't really speak you're working anaerobically, not aerobically. Most mileage (80% or so) should be at conversational pace to build your aerobic system.

Bailey Belvis thanks you so much for this comment. Great insight and I really appreciate the encouragement. I’m excited to see how I can improve over the next few months!

I, a former D1 athlete not track, trained two weeks and went 4:37.

How long does it take to get your aerobic engine back to good levels after several years of not running frequently?

Scroto Saggins Several YEARS off makes ones body practically return to baseline. That is if you reverted completely back to how you were before training. Now the difference is protein nuclei. Those stay even after size have been lost, so even though its not directly aerobic, having muscles that can come back to it's previous size quicker will have a positive effect. It will probably take almost the 70% of the time it took you originally (if you didn't waste your body away with smoking, drinking, drugs).

@@brodobroggins it's important to know that aerobic capacity has way less to do with your muscles than most think. Really what we're looking at are you cells ability to leverage the oxygen you breathe. This is much more about consistency than anything else. 12 weeks is a pretty common base-building time period during which runners focus on more lengthy time and thus distances running to encourage mitochondria growth and other cell improvements. Speed is then about muscles. His 400 time of over 80 seconds is very very bad for speed (it just is sorry). I would actually say that to enjoy running and feel good all one needs to do is your aerobic work, but if you want to be fast (and aren't naturally very strong) it is much better to focus on building up strength and muscle control first. Think about it. If you can run a 400 @50seconds all out (and that's essentially zero aerobic work) then the effort to run the full mile is significantly less than someone running 80, 70, 60, and even 55 sec full out 400s. That's why you see many of the top distance runners to actually have very fast spirt times.

Not it isn't. Something like a sub 6 minute mile would be good and impressive would be under 5:30.

Quin Roark I’ll have to race my brother next time we’re together.

Definitely agree, having someone else there makes you want to go faster. During races you feel that, even when just training. I was running a trail and some guy appeared and we were basically playing "keep up" with each other. A complete stranger, someone I've never met I just felt the need to not let him pass me and it really made me push myself and when we got to an opening in the trail and stopped, he agreed It really helped.

And not only did your training improve you, but you had the added benefit of growing up during those years, making it easier for you that way too.

Breaking 5 minutes is ridiculously hard compared to doing 6 and a half.

TheOtherGuy021 yeah it’s pretty hard to run 5:30 let alone 5 minute mile if you never really ran competitively in the past props to this guy though lol

Agreed, I knew from the start he wouldn't be able to get close because 8 weeks is not a long enough time frame. I spent 7 years going from a 7:30 mile in 6th grade to a 4:57 senior year of highschool. The issue is that no matter how much training you do, everyone has a physical limit. The closer he gets to 5 minutes, the harder and harder it will be. You know you have reached your peak when you train for months and your times do not change. But if you train for years, you will see improvement. One thing I recommend for someone who has never run competitively is to not run for speed, but run for distance. You will find a lot more enjoyment and satisfaction in that.

That's really good improvement but I think you will reach a point where you can't go faster unless you spend months and years training. But hey, as long as people are running, times don't matter.

Wildcat14, that isn’t a counter argument and instead makes up a new goal. Your original statement was that what the guy in the video did is incredibly difficult compared to tasks like getting abs. The guy who responded said that it was easy to run but hard to abs. You saying time improvements eventually scale off... yea, and??? That has no bearing on the difficulty of a time goal not near that scale nor the actual difficulty of just training.

@@seanscott1308 My original statement had nothing to do with how easy or difficult it was to get abs. Just the difficulty of what the video set out to do, which was to drop way more time from his mile time than physically possible from a guy in his position. When I spoke about times scaling off, I mean that if the maker of the video continued to run to meet his goal, he may not ever be able to meet his goal because of his max physical ability. Also, the fact that someone takes off more than a minute from their 7:30 mile time is pretty good, but not as good as taking 10 seconds off of their 5:10 mile time. People train for years just to take a couple seconds off their mile time BECAUSE they have nearly reached their peak. Whereas someone could easily take off tons of time by running for a couple weeks if they've never ran before. I hope this helps you understand

@@shelahwhitney3733 SUBWAY HAS FOOD TRUCKS NOW!?

That is actually so funny because it is pretty much what one of my friends did back in the day! He was feeling down so I persuaded him to train boxing with me. One day we're out running by the canal, on our third or fourth mile and suddenly he speeds up like nobody's business, crosses the road and runs straight into a newsagents to buy a chocolate bar! 🙈

That's exactly what I was thinking. It's good to have them on during your warm up in order to raise your core temp, but once you are actually doing a timed run you should take off almost all of the cold weather gear. Even in freezing temperatures, I typically run in only a shirt (short sleeve or long sleeve, take your pick), athletic pants and a beanie. Sometimes I will put an athletic hoodie on if it's really quite cold (like 20F or less).

Bobby Beyer I doubt the clothes are adding that much weight to dramatically effect his time like that. Run a mile max speed in your usual attire and then run one with pants jacket etc. on, you’ll see. All it’s going to do is make you hot faster and sweat more but it won’t affect your aerobic conditioning or muscle fatigue. I say it’d effect him maybe 5 seconds to 10 seconds MAX but most likely not even that. What’ll really get his time up is pacing himself and not starting so hard out of the gate. I’m sure as he was he could’ve run a 99, 97, 97, 97 and effectively shaved 10 seconds off his time alone like that

@@OHanzo theres also the fact that it hinders his mobility, theres a reason running shorts are so short . Longer pants would make it harder to stride out etc.

@@DanMProductionsBois more than a half

@@GoalGuys ignore all of the technical stuff, thats really for shaving off a few seconds here and there and ultimately wouldve been counter productive in such a short space of time.

@@NelsonVanDweller Exactly what I was thinking. That would have been better for obtaining long-term running goals more gradually and with good foundation, but for a drastic 8 week deadline hack there are bigger more major obstacles to cutting a lot of time quickly, namely aerobic conditioning. I think the most important thing for him would have been to do a lot of long-distance miles combined with a little middle-distance miles to cut as much weight as possible while developing aerobic running legs. When he's got that much excessive tissue he's just going to be slow no matter what. Most of the sloppy technique is also related to running with all that excessive tissue. The sprints aren't going to help so much if he's carrying that much weight, and the short speed work comes later for when you've already got reasonable middle-distance conditioning and want to ramp it up to fast with more of an anaerobic requirement. But at the early stage he really needs his aerobic conditioning to cut most of the time from 8 to 6 minutes. Having said that, no matter what you do, few people of that fitness are going to reach 5 minutes from 8 minutes in 8 weeks. But I do think he could have done 6 minutes if he'd focused more purely on his aerobic conditioning.

nope. short choppy strides tire you out much more than long strides. what really needs to be done is focus on pulling your body through each step rather than each step being similar to a hop. also i noticed that he was really pulling his toes back through the entire stride. which is fine for the most part but maybe he should let his shins (whatever that muscle is called) relax and try landing on his mid foot or even forefoot with a few slow long runs focusing more on form above everything

The diamond factory actually short quick strides are much better than longer strides

Totally agree. When I first started running, I would only run intervals every day (for speed) not knowing that aerobic base building was very important for the mile (and also having a solid base before incorporating more speed-oriented work helps in preventing injuries!!) :D

Having a solid endurance base is incredibly important if you want to develop speed (with minimal injuries). I was disappointed not to hear about any prior base work done before this video was posted. Mileage is key, having proper running form helps as well.

When does you track season start? I would suggest timing your 1/4 mile first. DO it at your normal level to see what the time is then try it on a different day at a higher pace to see what your maximum effort time would be. With training you could do a series of timed 1/4 mile intervals such as setting yourself a timed goal and repeat that 4 times. The key here would be try and create repeatable times that you then could scale to a full 1 mile run. You could do these training session in week blocks or two week blocks. I would suggest 2 week blocks so that it is not so intense on the body. The key is to do interval training combined with the full distance. And on top of that do some longer distance running such as 5 miles.

@@justinfulmer5085 A "normal" pace, as in a comfortable pace is 9:30ish, 9 minutes on a good day.. If I push myself I can run a mile in 7:30. Currently, I'm training to get my 1.5 mile faster. However, I'd like to be able to run 3-4 miles at a consistent 8:30 pace. I'll hit the treadmill and conduct interval training. At a slight incline, I'll run a quarter- half mile at a 7:20 pace, slightly faster if I'm only doing a quarter mile. However, the problem comes after mile 2; it gets harder as I naturally will breathe harder unless I slow down.

@@mariosolis6064 what are you looking to run, are you in high school, college, or an adult. You need to be able to run at your lactic threshold pace for a while, yourd would probably be an 8:20 this is when your body is at the point right before it starts producing lactic acid

my borther ran 2 miles every day and within a year or so he dropped down to 170 from 220 he increased time then he was the fastest on cross country

くら_おさ.める_かく.れる蔵 did he do any other exercises/activities , &’ did he have a diet ? sorry haha im kinda in the same situation

Despite the majority of people thinking a sub 5 is a "super" time, it is not a fast time for a HS runner. In Illinois, for a 3 mile XC race, the top 25 to 30 runners average under a 5 minute pace.

I’m 265 and the best I got was 9:33

"I'm taking a week off..." Famous last words before never running again.

GoryTV that’s awesome mate! You’re so close!!

GoryTV you could easily break it just increase your mileage eat some pancakes 🥞

GoryTV best of luck!

I haven’t done the 1600 since a year ago so in track season I’ll try to break it. Will let y’all know if I do :) Been doing 35-45 miles per week in xc

Good luck bro! We in this together, that's currently my goal too! LETS GOOOOOO

Can anybody run a 4 minute mile? or is it just people that are gifted

@@Jonathan-ek7ky anybody can do it, it's just that some have more "talent" meaning that they run quickly without putting in as much effort as the other

Hah my best mile was 5:06 and I’m 12!

mines is 5:20
