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
