I think this is a great goal! Won't add much to what others have said. However, I will say, when it comes to training, the first month, maybe 2 will be fun and motivating. For me, hitting paces during workouts is definitely challenging, but it is nothing compared to doing it for months or years at a time to get to an aspirational goal. So I would advise sprinkling in some races to keep things spicy and break up the training! Good luck
5 minute mile at the age of 44 off 20 miles a week with virtually no speedwork? No running background until a year ago? Inspiring co-workers through your supreme fitness? Not convinced.
Happy to clarify on the speedwork as it was a bit downplayed. There was some, but not much.
- No speedwork faster than 5:45/mile between March and October, as I was hesitant to ran fast after my tennis-induced hamstring pull from March.
- I started 4:48 pace repeats (1 to 2 mins each) on treadmill twice a week from early Nov, right after my 5K run. My plan was to try 5K in early Nov and then try a mile in late Nov to evaluate my fitness.
- My initial fitness on day one in Dec 2018 was holding 4:48 pace for 1:46 on a treadmill. I've never gained weight in my life and kept myself generally active, though not running or biking.
This has got to be bull. How can someone no tabbing all the sudden in 40s get sub 5? Only like 2 percent of 40 yer Olds can do sub 6 in the general population

Hey now, let's not cast aspersions till we find out whether dude's time machine actually works. Or heck, has anyone seen Alex posting elsewhere and ready to comment?
For all I know, though, Alex is too busy tabbing to reply. Or abbing if jayhay mean "not abbing," as any reasonable reader might expect.
