Running a mile is a daunting task, and It requires a lot From your body. If you are currently setting a goal for yourself, to run a mile without stopping to rest, i suggest you follow these simple steps to reach your goal as fast as possible. If you begin your journey with your eyes on the prize and begin with running a mile, you will quickly find yourself overwhelmed.
Instead of that approach, take baby steps towards your goal. Your first visit to the track, run for a total of 15 to 20 minutes with the following approach:
Walk for 1 minute, Run for 30 seconds, Walk for 1 minute, Run for 30 seconds, Repeat.
As you can see, with this first approach you are giving your body and respiratory system a break between each run. You're working hard for 30 seconds and cooling down for 1 minute. As your body becomes more accredited to this style of running, you will throw it a curveball.
Walk for 1 minute, Run for 1 minute, Walk for 1 minute, Run for 1 minute, Repeat.
Sometimes your body will also become accredited to this style of running, and you will again need to change up your running routine.
Walk for 30 seconds, Run for 1 minute, Walk for 30 seconds, Run for 1 minute, Repeat.
As you can see your running time has gradually increased as your rest time has gradually decreased. This is called a progression. Sometimes the goal of this progress is to completely eliminate the walk / rest period. Follow those simple steps and the formula will eventually lead to you running your first mile without resting.
Now take this knowledge, get to the track, and enjoy!
