Running

anyone got advice for mile specific training for a geriatric millennial? going after my HS PR of 4:56, but been out of the speed game for soooo long. did 800 repeats for marathon training a few months ago at 3:08/rep, and those felt flyyyyyying 😅

ok, got in a mile time trial this morning. got a loooooot of work to do to get to 4:56

on the plus side, i haven’t done any interval training and have been low mileage and inconsistent in training. hoping for some easy gains to make up some portion of the 1:10+ gap 😅

hope you fare better @ahn.eth 💪

What’s your plan to get faster? I’m about 6 flat also right now, mostly focused on longer distances. But would like to get my mile time down.

i’ve been off steady training for about 4 months now, so a big part of it is consistency of at least 5 runs per week with one threshold and interval session each week

threshold will need to get to 5:50-6 for 20 minutes (rn ~6:50)

haven’t started intervals yet, but mix of K’s, 8’s and 4’s. maybe some 2’s

I’ve only ever done 1 threshold OR 1 interval each week, plus long run. So my plan is to start doing both threshold and interval each week and hopefully that will accelerate my progress.
