Possible to take 2 minutes off a 2 mile run?

Question

I was wondering if it were possible to take 2 minutes off my 2 mile run? If so what type of time span am I looking at? I currently run 2 mile in about 18 minutes and need it under 16 minutes A.S.A.P.....my goal is to have that time down to under 16: minutes in a month or so......Is it possible? If so how?

Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer 3

lol I used to be a long dis. runner in high school (not great but decent)  when your training run farther than 2 miles try to get up to 3 or more if u can, also run 5x a week alternating the distance you run.  Day one shorter dis. day two: longer dis, Day 3 shorter dis than 2 but longer than 1.  etc.   If u train using longer dis. then you build ur endurance, so when u run 2 miles you'll be able to run it faster w/ ur newfound energy.  

well that's what worked for me anyways

Answer 4

Answer 5

Answer 7

a male can drop time faster than a female but you should be able to drop that time if you train

it is really all up to u, the harder you train the faster the time will come off and you should be able to do it in a month

Answer 8

keep training everyday... thats all you can do and it sounds like you have a reasonable goal
