Is this even accomplishable ??

Question

ok I made a bet with my friend that in 3 months [in the school physical test] I would be able to run a mile in 9 min flat or less.

At the moment I've never realy ran before and my times is 10:40, I know bad right. Im 14, and a girl, im in pretty good health pretty ft. So is this possible if i realy give it my all and if so how? tips would be GREAT

Answer 1

That is definitely an accomplishable goal. Since you have never ran before, if you start running a lot all of a sudden, you will get faster quickly. Especially when times are that high, its much easier to bring them down. Ex: it would be much harder to bring a mile time from 5:30 to 4:30 then to bring it from 14:00 to 13:00 even thought in both cases it is one minute difference. Anyway, i say you should run 4 or 5 times a week and time your mile at least once a week. Each week give yourself a new time that you want to hit and I'm sure that by the end of 3 months you'll be doing better than you you even thought.

Answer 2

Yes it would be very easy to accomplish. You need to get into a program with long runs(4-6 miles) and shorter distances of intervals(2*800- 2*600- 2*400- 4*200). Also eat high calorie meals before you run and high protien meals after you run. After a hard run get in some protein within 30 after you run, this will help you build muscle easier.

Answer 3

Of course it is! Girls in track around your age run it in like 5-7 minutes. Just work hard in your physical education class and try to run a lot  after school.

Good luck!

Answer 4

About a month ago, I could only run a mile in about 9 minutes. Then, I took some action to see if I could lower my time. Since then I've been jogging at least a mile every weekday, but for the past week I've been jogging two miles.

My new mile time is less than 7 minutes, and that's after only a month. Just go jogging or walking every day, push yourself, and you'll get there. Ask someone to run with you if you want. I asked this guy friend of mine that I had a crush on if he would run with me, because he likes to run, and so I had motivation to make sure that I kept going.

Practice, practice, practice. You'll be able to go well below 9 minutes if you work at it!

Answer 5

yes,it is accomplish able!Do not worry.My dad once bet me that I could not run a 9 minute mile and so I took the bet and won!all you have to do is practice running on the exercise machine and out side a couple times a week and in 3 months you will be running at least a 9 minute mile!

Answer 6

3 months is plenty of time to get under 9:00.

Don't wait around if you are serious. Begin to run several days each week.

It is not that far from where you are now.

Run at least 3 to 5 days each week. Since you can run a mile now, run farther.

Run at your pace for 15 to 20 minutes.

After 1 month, then begin to change up your training.

Run at a harder pace 1 day each week, try to run at 70 to 80% of maximum.

1 day run repeat 400 meters. Run them at 2:15 or a little faster and take 3 minutes rest between, do 5.

1 day run 3x800 at 4:30 take 5 minutes rest.

The other days run your easy pace distance.

After the month of this program you can increase your number of repeats and decrease the rest times.

Do a time trial where you run the mile to see your progress.

If  you start running you can do this easily.
