How to quickly improve my 2mile time?

Alright folks. I'm brand new to this forum and this is my very first post. This is of dire importance to me. I'm currently accepted for a position in federal law enforcement. I had to pass a physical exam to get to where I am and I have to pass it again. The exam isn't really that hard except...

suggestions about the ways of working on my speed?

I want to start working on my speed. It’s going to be a long and hard process but I’d like to see the results of my exercising, because if I continue doing what I’ve been doing for the past few months I’ll just stay on the same level and I’ll always have the same speed....

HRM training update

I know there were several of us using HRM training a few months back. I kind of fell of the wagon because it seemed so slow. But after really gagging on a couple of 12 mile runs (I finished them, but not pretty at all) I'm back on the HRM training. Even bought a new Polar S410 to replace a...

Does anyone run for time instead of distance?

Just curious if anyone here believes that you should run for a set time instead of a set distance.

What do runners do a week before the race?

I usually run 10 k's (6.4 miles, i think) and I really have no idea on how to prepare for a race a week before the day. I usually just eat lots of pasta and do my normal weekly routine, which is a 5 mile run 4 times a week and one 7 mile run. I'm wondering if this is good prep before a race, and...

How many repeats should i do?

1) I'm at a point where I can run 8 - 1/4mi. repeats at a pace I'm happy with. Should I work on going for 10-12 repeats, or should I focus on doing 8 at a faster pace? 2) I'm having a hard time doing the cool down part of my interval workouts. Should I be worried about that? I'm usually just...

VO2 Max Test Results

I won this test as a door prize from my bike club. A new Bike shop in Philly is associated with Carmichael Training Systems (CTS). So I went out, changed into running gear and did the test prep and review. Having to step on the scale one week after Christmas was not fun; but, the good side is when I...

Loss of Motivation for running

Answered by a doctor

Lately I have been really struggling to get up in the morning for my runs. I am not sure if it is because of long days at work or what but on the mornings on when I plan to get up early and head out to try and get a long run in I just can't .
