I like the Alan Thrall parts of the video

I'm 16 and you guy said to eat more. I used to be overweight(250), but then I down cut down to 144 pounds. I Listen to and now I'm 200 pounds and stronger. Thank you!

American football shows that speed, strength, and endurance don't need to be mutually exclusive. All 3 can be gained and maintained through training nutrition and recovery. To build mile endurance run distances longer than a mile at easy paces. For mile speed run distances shorter than a mile first for technique improvement and practice, then for greater speed. 8 x 440 or 12 x 220 on one day and a 3 to 5 mile run on the next day is a sound strategy for lowering mile times.

I am super duper out of cardiovascular shape but I ran an 8 min mile last week. Running a sub 10 minute mile has less to do with capacity and more to just be willing to suffer for a few minutes.

Good stuff

A person can walk a mile in 15 minutes. I'm somewhat surprised that the average mile is 10 minutes, I would have figured something closer to 9 minutes. I ran a 5:59 17 years ago. I Nearly collapsed trying to get sub-6, pushing myself very hard during the last 15 seconds when I saw I had a chance. I also did 2 miles in 13:24 (on a separate run). I haven't tried since then - my knees do not like runs of more than a quarter mile. But I am curious to see what my current time would be.

Parkrun would be a great Saturday addition to strength training. It's unfortunate that parkrun is not available to many in the USA.

I remember when I used to run 15 miles in 2 hours as a teenager. I definitely could not do anything close to that now. My deadlift was 315lbs or 335lbs in those days.

My last mile time was just under 8min when I was 50yo at 5’6” 155 now I’m 63 at 175 and I don’t run anymore I just lift. I also have a prolapsed mitral valve and I had it when I ran the mile before.

Hey Coach, how bout talking some rucking metrics? What do you think about Go Ruck races? Can you offer a Strength Co hybrid plan?

What do you think is the most attainable combination of deadlift and mile time, if we consider one minute equivalent to 100 lbs. I mean, it is rare, but there are plenty of people who can deadlift 400 lbs - comparitively few can run a four minute mile (and there is probably 0 or very close to 0 overlap). A five minute mile requires a good but unremarkable athlete, but a 500 lb deadlift is quite an accomplishment. Obviously as we go up in weight and time, the number of lifters shrinks and runners grows - a 10 minute mile is common but very few men can deadlift 1000 lbs - maybe some of them could do 10 minutes. So...which combination do you think is most common? 6:00/600? 5:30/550?

“…or the government in CA!” 😂

My fastest mile time is 8:27 at 220lbs at 19yrs old

la croix boy, like a good carnivore

Your mustache makes you look more like Rippetoe but less handsome

I'm hoping a good time for the mile is about 90 minutes........

Your not going to out run a bear.

Zero, just lift more Strength CO plates

10 minute mile is average? I think I could walk a mile in like 13 minutes.
