I ran a 6:13.71 on March 4th, 2008/ and 6:21.02 on March 5th which was about ten days ago. Ive remained between 6:20 and 6:30 since about oh id say November of last year and Ive ran probably not exaggerating close to about 80 to 100 6:25 to 6:40 miles since November. Each time I run it doesnt come pain free. I want to eventually reach (-5:40) this is my goal I figured itd put me at a consistent -6:00 minute mile every time I run the mile. A 5:40 means I can probably get - 6:00 on just about any given day. Maybe at -5:40 I could maintain a more consistent 6 minute mile pace (1:30) as well. Right now I have to go somewhat faster on laps 1, 3, 4 or laps 1, and 4 and slower on the others. I was doing this when I first reached (- 7) now at (- 6:30) I can run a more consistent pace at a (-7) mile, and Maybe a consistent pace at -6:40 or -6:45 I havent tried. Im scared now of burning any more muscle. You have to mix distance in in your runs if you want to improve your mile time and this is where muscles come into play. I Still bench about 300 weighing 176-180 big difference of where I was in August of 2006 weighing over 250 and benching 365 much more muscle but table weight too, but I could run a quarter mile without being out of breath, now I can run -6:20 what an improvement by GODS Grace!
