Help training to run a mile?

Talking from experience, here's what worked for me...

Sprint for half the mile (after warming up), and then jog the rest. During the jogging phase, it's gonna hurt like holy bejesus! But persist yourself to move on and make it to the finish line. No matter what! No matter how many stomach cramps you get. If you're well hydrated, then those stomach cramps are normal.

Do the above routine ONLY twice a week. Doing it more will only result in overtraining (trust me, you don't want that!). On every other day, just jog a mile (casual jog, nothing crazy). I don't know how advanced you are, but if you have the energy, jog back 1 mile.

So that's 2 miles jog (casual), and 2 days of (1 mile, half jog, half sprint). And for safety measures, throw in a day off.

When track comes around, you will be SO ready, you'll feel like you can actually sprint the whole mile. I've done it myself, It's an amazing feeling. I remember running so fast, I almost tripped on several occasions.

BTW, do NOT run on the day before the race (or track, as you call it). And on this day, eat something with a lot of carbohydrates (Pasta, lots of bread, etc). It stores itself in your stomach, and gives you that explosive energy on the day of the race.

Good luck :)

Start utilizing an natural product referred to as Enduranx instantly and run a minimum of five difficult miles each and every different day until you drop. On the opposite days jog a pair miles. Never take any sugar merchandise or ice bloodless beverages. Go to a wellbeing meals retailer and get a few potassium gluconate (take 800mg in keeping with day and 200mg two hours earlier than the race) and a few pinches of salt with the potassium. DO NOT BELIEVE the ones white paper experiences that declare bloodless beverages to be well for athletes. The frame was once designed to function flawlessly at ninety eight.6 degress F and that are meant to on no account be screwed with. Cold stuff will sluggish you down! The identical is going for soda pop. It disables your frame's capability to keep an eye on your water consumption.

The best way to train yourself to run a mile faster, is to run a mile, or more.

Drink plenty of water, and eat a lot of carbs. for energy (bread, pasta, etc)

Try to run at least 3-4 times a week.
