I started running to better my health, i am 6 ft and weighed 250 lbs, and i have high blood pressure, i wasnt even able to run a straight mile without stopping, i was finally able to run a mile in 14 minutes, after my 2nd month of training i dropped down to 7:46 a mile, may not seem like much to some of you all but im very proud of that accomplishment.

Doing something like running really fast in short bursts - like in soccer or something - completely gases out my lungs though, long before my legs. Any suggestions besides just moderating my breathing? I usually go 4 steps in, 4 steps out, or 2 steps in and 4 out.

[@TheTkrum]

Dan Cater what you are failing to understand Is I can do BOTH. I can run your mile in sub 5min, I’ve done it before. Took me 7months of focused training. I was stuck at 5:10 for a very long time. To break 5:00 was difficult for me, it took an all out sprint bc I weigh easily 30lbs more than you. I have row’d your row, and run your run. I have taken it to the next level. That’s what I am saying. Best of luck in your training. Bc my few reps of the box jumps completely Trump all the time and effort you are putting into your boring row. Beat yourself up all you want. I’m saying if you grew some balls you wouldn’t have to train so much to be in just as good, if not better shape, than you are now. That, is what I am saying. You are just at the beginning. You have much much more to learn.

Honestly before I started running I couldn’t formulate those figures as I didn’t have a reference point.

@@Smokeizi When you run competitively from the age of 11 a breaking 5:00 is always a big milestone. Racing in High School I was around a lot of the same competitors and we would inch closer to that sub-5 mark. Once its broken though, its easy for that to become the new standard and at a certain point its easy to become desensitized. In college, just about everyone who races the mile as their main event is in the mid to low 4's. I hope I didn't come off as making it seem easy. It certainly takes a lot of dedication and training to get to the sub 5:00 mark and shows an excellent level of cardiovascular fitness and a harness of both the aerobic and anaerobic systems.

[@Tritiuminducedfusion]

​@Smokeizi These online clowns just run their mouths, it's stupid... breaking 6 mins for the mile is big for the vast majority of the population. Honestly, if I don't see video proof of their claims, I just take it with a grain of salt.

The mile is a brutal run. You inspire me to run more! 3 mile PR: 17:03- This was at Officer Candidate School in Fort Benning, GA in February 2019. I was running and rucking quite a bit during that course. 2 Mile PR: 11:16 1 mile PR: 5:17 6'1" 197 lbs Just bought a pair of Vaporfly Next%'s last week. Hoping to go sub 5 this summer!
