I'm trying to reduce my mile time to 5 minutes, and I have access to a track, but I don't know what kind of reps to do.
Currently I'm at 7 min 40 sec miles, because I didn't run in the winter, but I'll be back at my normal 6 minute miles in under a month.
Gibs me a training schedule pls, so I can get to 5 minutes at fast as possible.

I was one thinking about construting a device that would send a weak electric shock when you run slower than some set speed for a couple of seconds. That would make you run faster and I think you would adapt to said speed after some time.
how hard is it to go from a 6 minute mile to a 5 minute mile. It took me 2 months to hit 6 rolling off the couch and running short distance about 3x a week.
that's a big leap. i think most people when fit should be able to do 6 minutes but 5 minutes is probably going to be a challenge for most people. it depends on your natural ability/speed and willingness to put in the miles to build a good aerobic base.

No clue. When I first started training it took about a month to get a 6min mile, but then I wasn't seeing much progress so I pretty much gave up.
OP here. Here's a basic idea of what I've got so far. I'd appreciate feedback and additions.
Monday:
-PR attempt
-8x400m, 1 min/mile under current PR, 30s rest
Tuesday:
-2.4 mile, recovery run, 1 min/mile above current PR
Wednesday:
-8x400m, 1 min/mile under current PR, 30s rest
-4x800m, 30s/mile under current PR, 30s rest
Thursday:
-2.4 mile, recovery run, 1 min/mile above current PR
Friday:
-8x400m, 1 min/mile under current PR, 30s rest
-4x800m, 30s/mile under current PR, 30s rest
Saturday:
-4 mile, easy run, below lactate threshold
Sunday:
-rest day
Is running twice a day not a good idea?
Running twice a day is fine just dont do too much too soon. And dont have the runs so close together.
So like morning you can do an endurance run of like 2 to 3 miles and later in the afternoon/evening run 1 mile for warm up and do a whole lot of speed work. 30/60's, 60/120's
OP here, bumping for info.
