How to enhance my running 3 mile time...im at 21 min now...would like 18?

Answer 1

Well there are a lot of small things that you could do to enhance your time.

-Breathing right

-Practice (alot)

-eat right

-where light clothes

-get good running shoes

Answer 2

start a breath on a particular foot (like right)

then after two steps on that foot, breath out

thats a good breathing technique

practice EVERY morning

get lightweight, cushioning running shoes

and wear cotton

drink 10 glasses of water a day

and try crunches, push ups and weights to strenghten armsa nd legs

btw 21 minutes is very good 3 mile time

Answer 3

Well it would mean running a full minute faster each mile...which is not that easy to do especially if that 21 felt like you were going your fastest.

You would have to run three 6 minute miles. To get this fast you need to do a combination of speedwork (sprint for 2 minutes, jog/run for 3, repeat lots of times), tempo runs (run at a specific pace over a specific distance), and long runs (5+miles)

All of this combined will help your speed, pacing, and endurace.

Answer 4

you need to increase the millage and do speed trainning this one worked for me, 2 years ago i was doing 22min now 18min:-

Monday:- 6 miles jog

Tuesday:- track session 8 times 200meters at sub 40 sec

Wednsday:- 3 miles fflat out as fast as you can

Thursday:-6 miles slow jog

Friday:- 1 mile at 6.30min on road then jog 1 mile to rest and repeat intill you have done 3 fast miles and 3 slow recovery miles

Saturday:- rest day

Sunday 10 miles (try building this milage over time up to about 15 miles this should take up to 6 weeks, do it slowlly and gradually. By doing long runs such as 15 miles you're time will drop to about 17 min.

Good luck
