Question

I am slightly out of shape and have to run 1 1/2 miles in 15mins. I have to do this within 2 months.?

Answer 1

Should be easy if you're slightly out of shape.  Thats a 10 minute mile pace.

Answer 2

Run 2 miles on Mon, Wed, Fri and stay away from McDonalds. You will be fine if ya do that.

P.S. Stay away from McDonalds means Wendys, Burger King, Checkers, and What a Burger too.

Answer 3

If your a male  this should be a piece of cake first you have to stay motivated. Second the next thing you should do is stretch get your body ready for the run. Stay hydrated drink plenty of water but not a lot before the run because you will get cramps in your stomach. Of course the only way your gonna get good at running is running. Try running in the morning before you eat anything drink half a cup of water. Get a good stretch in and start off slow when you get comfortable with your speed pick up the pace. The more you run the more you know how much effort to put in to it. You just have to push yourself, and all should be well I hope this helps. p.s 2 months is plenty of time

Answer 4

Monday-Thursday go out and run 20 minutes with out stopping. This can be as slow as you want. On Fridays, run 1 1/2 miles and see how long it takes you. Make sure to stick to any plan that you use.

Answer 5

and what exactly is the question?

Answer 6

Get the feet on the road.

Forget the clock for the first month. Measure out three distances.

1/2 mile, 1 mile 1.5 miles (circle).

Always warm up i.e. run 1/2 mile out slow and easy and slightly quicker back but don't push, focus on breathing rythm.

Stretch and take a 2 minute break then:

Day 1. Run the same 1/2 mile out as fast as you can, slower back but keep pushing.

Day 2, Run the one mile out at 3/4 pace and slower back

Day 3 - rest

day 4 - repeat day 1

day 5 - repeat day 2

day 6 & 7 rest

Do this for 2 weeks.

Week 3,

Day 1b = Day 1 above

Day 2b = Day 2 above except 1 mile (out and back) becomes 1.5 mile circle. Push Push Push

Day 3b = rest

Day 4b = Day 2 above

Day 5b = Day 2b above

Do this for 2 weeks.

Week 5

Day 1 = 1 mile

Day 2 = 1.5 mile

Day 3 = Rest

Day 4 = 1 Mile

Day 5 = 1.5 mile against the clock.

Repeat for rest of time available.

Give yourself 2 days off before the day you must meet the clock.

Eat well, drink a lot of fluids, and sleep a good solid 8 each night, remember to warm up properly before pushing.

Worked for me years ago.

Answer 7

Start by jogging at a steady pace each day for at least two miles and try to improve your stamina and time every few days. Eating healthier food will make sure that fats don't add up in your body as well, which will decrease your cardiovascular performance necessary for running.
