 Posted: Tue May 27, 2008 2:11 pm Post subject: Struggling With 10 Minute Mile? |
 |
|
| Hey, I'm 15, in highschool. Last year I had a major spine surgery. The year before that I had a major operation on the spleen. I have started running on my treadmill at home. I realized that it is taking me over 10 minuted to run a mile. I complete the mile without stopping, but it takes over 10 or 11 minutes.I need help, I feel pathetic, and weak. How do I get better?Also, I am not fat, I am 5 foot 6, and weight 116 pounds. I don't have abs, but I'm not fat. I have good shoes, ASICS shoes. I used to run on track 2 years ago, I wasn't too great though.I am male also, and after I run my 10-11 minute mile I am sweating, and pretty out of breath. I do NOT have asthma. I am sure I have no lung disease or anything, my dad is a lung doctor. I remember after my surgery on the spleen my lung collapsed, but it got better later. |

| Those are just one of those days were you realize that everything that you've worked for is gone... You should take it like a man and start regaining your endurance through any means necessary. |

| More important than anything, DO NOT RUSH THIS. It's really no big deal how fast your mile is. If what you've described is true, you should be proud that you're completing your mile at all! Just let your body adjust at its own pace. Things will be set back in place in time. Just be patient. |

| slow and steady... in time you will be where you need to be. I would suggest running outside, doing some hills and keeping hydrated |

| just to clarify...is there any kind of exercise that your injury prevents you from doing?what i like to do when training for a middle distance run like the mile is do interval training. what i mean by that is run 5 or 6 1/4 mile "sprints" or find the nastiest hill in your neighborhood and sprint up it until you puke or come close to it. dont die though.interval training got me from a 6:20 mile to about a 5:10-5:25in a little over a month |
