Question

I need to run 1.5 miles in 9 minutes and 25 seconds. What training plan should i have

Answer 1

Stop trying to run faster and concentrate on the sit up and push up part of the test, unless like me the only part of the pt test you have to do is run, then i would say contact your health and wellness clinic and get in the running class, they have one trust me. if you are maxing them out try to score points off your waist measurement, when they ask your height say half an inch taller...integrity i know but do you want a refferal epr?

Answer 2

I would say to start by running more than that distance every other day and then start quickening your pace after a week or so. Then running a shorter distance like that faster won"t be hard.

Answer 3

This question is not easy to answer, cause I don't know how fast you run already or you just want start running with this goal and in what time you want to reach that goal. But I suggest the following: If you are new to running you must first build up your endurance that you can run 6 miles easy. If you are on that level make a 1,5 miles test run and check your actually time. Then start with a special interval training 2 times per week and the other days run in normal speed the 6 miles. Set your interval training to Tuesday and Friday. To get more speed you need sprints on short distance. So we start on Tuesday with 8 sprints of 200 meter. You start with running 1 mile slowly for warming up, then a 200 meter sprint, but not in your highspeed, but fast that you are later still able to run the next 7 sprints, then 400 meters very slowly, then 200 meter sprint, 400 slowly and so on. Record the 200 meters times. after the last sprint a 1 mile slowly cooldown. On Fridays you do another interval. First 1 mile warming up, then 600 meter sprint, 600 slow, 600 meter sprint, 600 meter slow, after last sprint 1 mile cool down. the distance and the intervals increase per week. Here a plan for 6 weeks. After 6 weeks relax 3 days and make a test run over 1.5 miles.

Tuesday

1.   8 x 200 meters interval

2. 10 x 200 meters interval

3. 12 x 200 meters interval

4.   6 x 400 meters interval

5.   6 x 400 meters interval

6.   4 x 600 meters interval

Friday

1.   3 x 600 meters interval

2.   4 x 600 meters interval

3.   3 x 800 meters interval

4.   4 x 800 meters interval

5.   3 x 1000 meters interval

6.   2 x 1600 meters interval
