66: How to Improve Your Mile Time
Manage episode 418851855 series 3455472
The running community talks a lot about longer distances, but we are focusing in this episode on an underrated distance: the mile. While most runners can run multiple miles without stopping, racing a mile as fast as you can is an entirely different challenge. In this episode, we discuss how to improve your mile time - whether you are aiming for a 5 minute mile or 12 minute mile.
Discussion points include:
- What are the benefits in racing a mile?
- The physiology of racing a mile
- How to train for a mile race
- Speed workouts to improve your mile time
- Supplemental workouts including plyometric workouts
- How often can you race a mile?
- Do you taper for a mile race?
- How to pace a mile race
- Nutrition considerations for racing a mile
