The Ultimate 1-Mile Strategy
The basic idea is that while intervals are a GREAT way to train your body for a mile, DOING intervals for your run is NOT recommended!
“One pace wins the race” is a great motto to rememeber! Go into this with a pace goal in mind. If you have a goal finish time, google “mile pace time to mph” and you’ll be able to see a conversion of what speed in MPH to hold to get there!
Begin with your goal pace right away! Settle in knowing that the first half of the run is going to feel pretty managable… you might even feel like you can go faster! But save that energy for towards the end to make sure you don’t burn out!
The halfway point is a good place to start checking in and make small 0.1-0.3 adjustments to keep you fighting in the second half!
0.5 TO 0.75 IS THE HARDEST PART! That’s all a mental battle… small adjustments… confidence in yourself! Then for the last 0.1, BOOK IT! Every one of us almost always has more to give for the last 0.1 so just go for it!!
With all of this in mind, I hope you crush it today! Let me know how it goes!!
P.S. don’t jump the rails after unless you ran a 5 min mile @ 15% incline! #nowdoit
