1 Mile Run for Marathon Training.

I am just beginning a Marathon training program. I'm doing two 1 mile treadmill runs per week to try and get my 1 mile time down to 6 minutes. As of this upload, my personal best is 7:03. I started three weeks ago with a 1 mile time of 9:50. Once I get my 1 mile time to where I want it, I'll work on keeping that pace for extended distances.

I'm also doing two 3 mile runs per week and one long run. My 3 mile runs are at a 5K pace and my long runs are about 2 minutes per mile slower than my 5K pace.

Thanks!

When you say speed run, what do you mean?

I have problems with pain in my left shin after about 2 laps.

If you haven't already, you might want to go to a real running store and get fitted for some good running shoes. Nike and Adidas don't count. I use a pair of Mizuno running shoes and they are great.

[Syrius187]

I havent got fitted for them but Im using a pair of asic 2140's.. I figured since I leave in Jan. for training, and they make me get a new pair there... I shouldnt get new shoes.. but I may go get fitted for some. How much were your shoes?

[performazcrx]

My shoes were $100. I got them last year. Well worth it too. I had some knee problems from running with bad shoes, but I haven't had any problems since I got the new ones.

[getfitnow29]

@performazcrx I rarely endorse a shoe, but I can tell the difference with the Mizuno running shoes.

10 mph for 6 mins is a mile on the treadmill

@nicholasproductions1 I run indoors except maybe a couple days a year, but then again, I live in Phoenix where this time of year it is already in the 80's when the sun comes up!

Your one mile marathon training will come back to bite you on the ass when race day comes and you realize you have 25.2 more
