How fast can you get after 8 weeks of training? disclaimer I am NOT a professional and this is NOT medical or training advice!
Running is a huge passion of mine but I've never pushed myself in the sport, nor have I ever learned how to run properly. The heel striking was intense at the start of this challenge my guy. In order to even try to hit a sub 5 minute mile I had to learn how to warm up properly, how to increase my mileage safely and that it's okay to pace yourself.
My training plan was pretty simple for this challenge I pushed myself pretty hard for the majority of my runs, going at about 80% race pace. I also had a couple easy days every week. When I felt off I would take the day off. But when I was running I was running hard. If you want a full break down of my training comment below! But for me a lot of it was mental. Just forcing myself to get up and run hard as often as I could. Running 3-5 miles and not going for those longer 10 mile runs. Which were super fun but my body just wasn't ready for that kind of distance. Also I had to get new shoes too. Proper equipment is super important to prevent injury.
I really just hope this inspires people to go run after their goals. Even if you don't reach them you're gonna get close. :)
