How many times a week to do these workouts?? Just once mixed with easy runs? Missed it if it was said
This actually works. I did a workout like this and the next mile I ran after that was my best time. 400 intervals are the way to go.

I can attest to this too. At the beginning of the summer, my mile was around 7:45. Over the summer, I would run a couple laps around the soccer field and then walk half a lap, and do this a few times every day until I got to a little over 1.5 miles (7 laps), incrementing the number of laps before rest until I was running the entire time. By the end of the summer, I ran my then best, 6:58 mile.

A week ago my mile was 9:22. On the treadmill, I ran 8.5 mph for 1:45 minutes then I took a break for 1 minute. Then, I did this 3 more times every day that week. I ran my mile again and got a 7:48. Not an amazing time but still some pretty good results. 5 more weeks to go! My goal is 7 mins by the way. Thank you Run Experience!

Nothing running like running outdoor .
Ran a 4:46 a few weeks ago, and I can totally agree with 400 meter workouts being a prime source for speed. Interval training definitely helps, but consistency is key. If you can run up to 6 days a week, with some distance training, you can really lower your mile time.

This is honestly the best advice I have received so far and I can’t wait to put it to the test. I feel like I have hit a mental wall with my mile. Back in the day, I used to be in cross country and track with a 6:50 mile or better. Not to mention, I loved running. Fast forward like 7 years, I now hate running and struggle to get a 9:30-9:50 mile and it is a big struggle mentally as well to see those times, since I know I used to be a lot better.
Thanks man been looking all over for a video like this 💪
At my school I must run 1.5 miles, and I just ran my first one today. I am currently doing very poorly as I am 1 minute and 30 seconds above the requirement for a passing grade. Hopefully these tips work! :D

He said in another comment you can split it up into the same proportional progression. (The comment pertained to a 1.5mile time, but his response gave me the impression you can do it with an running time at a constant pace). What I mean is you can do 24 400m or 12 800m. Keep the rest time the same as your lap time. Then after 2 weeks half your rest time. Then double your running distance. (400m to 800m and/or 800 to 1600). So on and so forth. Gl

@The Run Experience, thank you so much. I think I have developed a good lay out plan, hopefully others can follow. Just quickly, I am a track and field/cross country athlete. I am a senior and am really aiming to cut my mile time. Last year my fastest was a 5:10, and am aiming for 4:20 by Track Season (May). I decided to slowly build the workout to that, taking 6 weeks to go from 5:10 to 5:00, 6 weeks to go from 5:00 to 4:50, 6 weeks to go from 4:50 to 4:45, ect. I would use this 6 week program (doing each assigned task 3 times a week along with typical long distance training) and maybe some strides/sprints to follow up. If anyone would like a "copy" or hear/discuss about this program I designed from this video, shoot back! Again, kudos to The Run Expereince.

Great video!
GREAT PROGRAM.

Thank you for this!
Hey thanks for the great video. Gonna try this. What are some good ways to train to run consecutive sub 6 minute miles? How can I keep that pace for more than 1 mile?
If I’m training for a 1.5 mile can I up the intervals to 4x600 and 2x1600 or do you recommend keeping them the same?
Would have liked to know how many times a week do you do this. And is there additional workouts in between? (I already do strength training)
Hey so at the end of the six weeks and I have my faster time, do I just repeat the six week program again?
i’m on the track team, so we don’t choose workouts. how can i build this in?
I just saw this video and looking at the comments is making me feel like I need to take your advice and improve my mile with your 6 week program! My mile time currently stands at 6:55 which is not good because covid has taken a hit on my running, but my goal by the end of the track season is to hit 6 minutes!! I’m going to try this and hope for the best!!

I love running in the early morning while it's cloudy. One down fall is I can't time my runs since I use a sun dial because my mile time is so slow. .
When summer ended i became out of shape. And when i did the first mile it took me 11:43. When i saw my time i decided to practice and to track. Know i do it in less then 8 minutes still tryna improve

Good instruction. Can we see someone practicing the workout? Vlog. This would assist us in seeing it in action. Vlog the warmup/ each run / every rest / warm down.
What advice could you give for those who run 1.5 miles, 2 miles, etc., should this be tailored to that distance (6 x 400m runs, etc)?

How about a detailed program for doing a sub 5 minute mile? My best is 5:18 and I noticed anyone in decent enough shape should be able to do a sub 6. A Sub 5 mile is difficult for those athletes like myself who didn't run cross country or track so it be a more exciting goal. I'm doing some steady state distance running now to prepare for more speed work in the spring and perhaps break the 5 min barrier. Any input would be appreciated.
My current mile is 6:07 , my goal is around 5:30 this channel is the bomb
The 2 week program link isn’t working. Is it just no longer available?
If I'm training for a 1.5 mile test should I adjust times accordingly such as 6 x 400m and 3x 800m? Also, if so, will the extended amount of times I'm doing it affect my rest period?

Any recommendations for a warm up routine?
With all the triathlons being cancelled I'm thinking of doing a mile improvement block. My PR is 5:15, hoping to get under 5:00.
So how often are you supposed to do this (like everyday of the week, three times a week, every other day, etc) ?
I'm trying to get my mile down for the Illinois POWER test. I kind of bench marked myself today, and got 10:55. I need to get down to at least an 8:00 in order to pass. I have no idea what I'm doing and if anyone has any tips I'd be appreciative. Should i run everyday? For any asthmatic runners, do you run when you're having a flare up? I have 3 years to get this right, but it's still proving to be very stressful.
Stuck on around 5:20, gonna try these, just as soon as there's no snow on the track :)

How many times should you do this weekly? I’m aiming for 2 miles under 11:30 I’m currently around 7-6:45 mile time.
Goal is a 7 minute mile pace and an 11minute 1.5 mile and I have an ehh base already. Can I just run into this and do a 1:45-1:50 minute pace for the 4x400's or should I focus on a better base? I have been working on getting a base where I can run 3.1 miles at a 27-29 minute pace no stopping.Then Planned on just doing a 1.5 mile run here and there starting at trying to do at least a 12 minute 1.5 mile. Thanks
How many times per week do you do this training?
Right now my best mile time is a 5:31, I'm hoping that by April I can maybe shave it down to 5 minutes flat. Do you think this is achievable?
Thank you, I ran a 10 minute mile and felt good but want to improve.
Can this be part of a warm up? Like for example you run a bit, do this, then go for your actual run??
Nice progression. I would like to see info on how to set a target mile time. I’ve run 4:40 when I was much younger but I’m 51 now…
Is it me or did it go from week 3 to 5 skipping 4? 400m repeats halving the rest 3 weeks then the 800m repeats with half rest then try mile goal. I guess week 1 is the initial slower mile and first 400m intervals is week 2?
How many times a week should you do the drills?
Will try
What's a low volume method for running a fast mile. I am 48 and have not ran in 15 years. How has it been that long. Yah I got injured and joint problems took me off the road and track. I still have issues but can do short intervals on soft turf and hills. On the plus side I took up cycling and do a lot of strength training so have a good base.
The work out is to be done everyday or are there rest days ? Thanks you for the video
I have lost a lot of fitness and put on weight over the past 3 years and am struggling to break 6:30 at the moment, though I ran 5:38 in a road race 7 years ago and only ever failed to go over 6 mins on 2 occasions (6:01 and 6:07) with about 25 other races all being under 6 mins, usually around 5:43 to 5:47. I am going to try as you suggested to get down to 6:20 to begin with. This will be looking at 4 x 400 reps @ about 1 min 35 with 90 secs rest. How many and how often would you suggest at this stage of the proceedings before I cut the rest in between to 45 secs?
Question: if you’re training for a mile to build endurance at that pace, why not schedule 6x400 or more in a workout? Wouldn’t you use the tests as a way to stay at that pace longer than the target run?
@JGlennFL

The goal here is to teach yourself to run the target pace. If you can run your target mile pace for 6X400 or more with 1/4 rest breaks, then your target pace is too slow.

I agree that the third lap is the most important becuase in my most recent mile I got 3:00 mins and my final time was a 6:12 I sped up in the last lap so theat means my third lap was really slow

For the 1st 2 weeks your rest time is equal to the time it takes you to do 400 meters. So if you run 400 in 1:30 then your rest will be 1:30
I've been doing this for a few weeks now but for a mile and a half and like he says the third lap is the hardest but I am not sure really why
I'm confused I get the 4x400 for the first week, then he talks about week 3? So are we doing the 4x400 3-4 times per week during weeks 1 and 2. Then week 3 workout? Sorry really trying to up my 1.5 mile run time and have been told now i have 3 weeks until the test instead of the original 6 weeks. SO trying to get my times up fast. Currently avg 2:34-2:40 per lap and need to be at 11:58 for my 1.5 mile time. Thanks in advance
Hi Nate! How many times per week should I do this intervals? Is 3 times enough?
So I currently run a 6:50 and I really wanna get down to at least a 6:30 and I really hope this will help, I don’t run distance but I hope to be able to soon, but I’m a 400m sprinter so I’m used to going faster in 400 repeats
What are your personal bests?
I’m aiming to do 1500m in less than 7 minutes. I started going to the gym a few months ago, but before that I only exercised during gym class. But as a child I was quite fit. Every summer at school I get fitter, but then summer break comes I go back to my lazy self. Last year I did my first 1.5k in 9:11, my second in 8:20 and my third in 7:30 which I thought was great, and I really wanted to do it one more time, but I didn’t. At the gym I started my running at random speeds until I got too tired, but recently I started doing 8 minutes running. I started at 10km/h, and each session I’m trying to improve by 0.5km/h (currently at 12). As i improve I will have to lower the speed in which I increase but for now it’s working. My goal is Easter and I think I’m doing well.
To increase 1.5 mile time would I do 6 x 400? Or do 800m runs instead
I do distance, but run a 20:23 road 5k other day. What mile time might i get?
So we rest in between every lap?
What should I change if I want to run 2000m (1.2km)?
I'm training for a 2 mile (3200m) all out effort. How important is hills training for the 3k /2mile distance??
How often should someone be doing these intervals? 3x per week?
How often do we have to do this per week?
How many times do you do these runs per week?
Somehow I went from 6:09 to 5:36 in only 2 weeks as a freshmen in highschool. If I train hard do can I have hope of going to state or even d1/d2 college? This might be a stupid question.
after 3 days training. i run 1 mile in 6.35 min.how can improve stamina then i do 1 mile in 5 min. my height 5.8
