Running 3 minute miles during training

2/10, just because I know a guy who is actually sort of like this

This is a good sign. Are you training for the marathon?

Yes, soon you will be on your way to becoming a sub 4 miler. Just run under 4:00 pace for a few more minutes, and you'll be on your way. Ladies and gentlemen, I sense a future Olympian on our hands.

I recently ran 100 meters at sub-4 minute mile pace no spikes gravel track. What's more I was already running my cooldownimmediately before and after this remarkable feat, not even giving myself the benefit of a full standing rest prior to the effort. I'm not one to brag but yes, I think I could have extended that pace for another 50 meters or more going all-out. Watch out Wanamaker, there's a new speed-demon in town!

Strava data under 4 minute pace for a few seconds is a known indicator for pro potential. This is a very good sign

Sh!t...I've ran sub 3-minute mile pace for about 200 meters before. I should have tried the mile, sub 4 would have felt easy...

I did it barefoot too, and probably could have kept up sub 4 for ATLEAST 2 miles. I mean, with a little bit of training...

That's a world record, right??? Guess I missed out, you guys all did too. So many threads could have been started about me. You would have had so much fun debating my training, drug use, shoewear, and of course the bodyglide.

And the track was cinder

There was a guy that used to post here under many pseudonyms whose favorite workout was 5 miles at 5k pace. He once ran a 3:11:something marathon.

Yes, it is not uncommon to run the same pace for the 2 mile in high school, 10k in college, and 26.2 as a professional.

That's going 13 times the distance at the same pace with 8-15 years of additional training.

For you, your 200 only needs to be replicated 7 times! That's far easier than going from a 10 minute to a 2 hr effort.

Yes, he has to hold that pace for JUST under 4:00!!!!

That’s a sign that you ran at least roughly 10 meters in 1.5 seconds, “roughly” being the key word.

WE ALL KNOW THE BEST WAY TO ACHIEVE A WORLD RECORD IS TO RUN WORLD RECORD PACE FOR AS LONG AS YOU CAN, AND THEN SIMPLY INCREASE THAT DISTANCE EACH DAY.

SAY, FOR EXAMPLE, YOU CAN HOLD 3:25 1500M PACE FOR 150M TODAY. TOMORROW, TRY TO EXTEND THAT TO 151M. I DON'T THINK ONE MORE METER IS TOO MUCH TOO ASK; YOU MUST REALLY PUSH YOURSELF AND BELIEVE. AFTER ~1350 MORE DAYS, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO HOLD 3:25 PACE FOR THE ENTIRE 1500M AND BE THE NEW WORLD RECORD HOLDER.

REMEMBER: LOSERS FIND EXCUSES; WINNERS FIND A WAY.

Got it, but why are you yelling out so loud?

Yes, and I stress it is important to believe. With proper belief anything is possible.

The elites believe far more than you or I. This is why they are faster. This is also where believing and giving 110% comes in. That extra 10% extrapolated over distance will drop your time greatly. Think about it… if the super shoes are giving you even 2%, imagine what 10% would do for your Personal Bests!

THANKS I'LL GET RIGHT ON IT

It's a good sign that you are another troll here.

Keep improving

Just hold that sub 4 pace for at least 3 min 55 sec longer bro. You’ve got this.

This is a great sign.

Report back as your training progresses soldier!
