Running advice....
OK, I'm trying to reach a goal with my jogging/running. I'm shooting for 1.5 miles in 13 minutes. I'm currently doing 1.5 in 14 minutes. I am running for about 2.25 miles with a 220 yard sprint at the end approximately every other day. In discussing this with others, it has been suggested that if I want to improve my 1.5 mile time, I need to....
A) start going longer distances at sustainable paces. The theory being that I build endurance and if I can run 5~6 miles at a sustainable pace, then I *should* be able to run the 1.5 at a faster pace and nail my 13 minute goal.
B) try riding a bike on the *off* days as to get a good cardio workout pretty much every day.
What say the runners on TFP? Any other advice suggestions for me? I'd really like to have this 13 minute mile licked in 4 weeks or so.
