buy a heart rate monitor. running in a certain heart rate zone will build your endurance much better than anything you're doing now and you will be able to run way more miles w/ no problem. and believe me, you won't be going fast running w/ it and you won't be tired when you're done. americans have this "no pain/no gain" philosophy when it comes to distance running, which is the same reason we never put anyone good in the olympics. distance running is strictly aerobic, not anaerobic. run 6 days a week w/ a HR monitor, make sure to stretch before and after to avoid injury, and do some strides (preferably barefoot) when you're done. stetch really well too, flexability=speed. i was where you were when i was in middle school, struggling running 2-3 miles a day. now i'm running up to 90 miles a week, just be patient and consistent.Check out www.jeffgalloway.com
I personally run about 8 in one hour and I'm not a skinny rail. I'm trying to lose my belly fat. I would suggest to run consistently be it 2 or 3 times a week on the same days. Set a goal, this week I'll run 2.2 miles, next week 2.4 and so on. When you hit that wall, just endure the pain and urge to stop and keep going. I was able to go from running 7 miles in one hour to 8, and on up to 11 miles without stopping. It's a great feeling once you're done and you really feel a sense of accomplishment. The hardest part is telling yourself you CAN do it and actually doing it. My legs really hurt when I run sometimes but I don't let that stop me and usually I run for so long the pain just goes away. Good luck to you. Remember, it's 90% mental and 10% physical.
Is it ok to run with a maybe sprained ankle?
how far you can run is completely phscological pain is only i your head and as long and you dont allow the thought of stoping to even become an option the sky is the limit just keep telling yourself just one more street over and over again!!What kind of workout should I do to improve my 1 mile time?
just keep running. eventually you'll get used to the 2 miles. by then you can try running longer distances.That is about how much I run on weekdays. On weekends I run about 4. What I do is take an MP3 player, warm-up, start stretching and I'm good to go. I take the first 3-5 minutes easy. I push a little harder after that. Don't think about what you're doing. Let your mind drift off. If you think about finishing quick or the pain, it will NOT help. The less you think about it, the less you feel it. In my opinion it is all mental, you must have a strong mentality
