What do you to to prepare yourself to run a mile in under 12 minutes

Question

L8RVAL · Answer

Usually I have a strategy to get it always in 8 minutes but it requires a lot of running, usually just try to practice jogging a lap and then stopping. Then continue the process and you'll eventually improve.

Tbh just run 1 lap with a jogg and take a 1-2 minute break and do this for an hour then run a mile and see your time and take a 30 minute break and then continue repeating the process so you can get past 12 minutes.

Manny300303199 · Answer

From the beginning you dont have to run fast but run consistently for 20-30 min without stoppin. minimum 3 times a week i do it everyday so you will notice more improvement if u run more. But main thing is being consistent. At one point i was at 10 min mile now im down to 7:30 mile in a  matter of about month to month and a half. Im goin in the air force so i  have to run mile and half no longer than 13 min

you convince yourself that there's a tornado coming and that you have to run away from it

Darkest · Answer

In order to prepare yourself to run a mile in 12 minutes is keep practicing by inning a little bit each daynd gradually going up to that 1 mile run and keep doing the mile long run and as you run the stronger your legs get so the faster you will run and then eventually you will be able to run that mile in 12 minutes or less I know because I've ran a mile in like 10 minutes.

toga · Answer

To prepare to run a mile in under 12 minutes, you should focus on improving both your cardiovascular endurance and leg strength. Incorporate regular running into your workout routine, gradually increasing both the distance and pace over time. Additionally, include strength training exercises such as squats, lunges, and calf raises to build leg muscle and improve running efficiency. Pay attention to your diet and hydration to ensure that your body has the necessary fuel for the run. Lastly, always make sure to warm up properly before running and to stretch afterward to prevent injury.

GoatyGoat · Answer

U need stamina :)

jessistocutelol · Answer

As a national fitness holder ( at my school ) stretching is one way to go before running. Stretches I do - 15 push ups, planks, dying bugs, and leg lifts ( also 15 each leg on dying bugs ). When u begin running keep face and make sure you've been hydrated and keep pace while running. For breathing breathe in through your nose and out from your mouth calmly and slowly so u don't tire yourself out. Hope this helps!

somnium · Answer

for a 12 minute run, you have to be at a pace of at leave 5 mph. For me, that's pretty easy, its a light jog. It varies from person, of course, depending on your legs, but for many people that isnt much trouble, so you should be able to do that pretty well :)

U need do track u need a get your damn stamina up slow poke

Hero · Answer

I usually do it in about 5 minutes. Of course, I'm a runner so it's no biggie. What does it require?
1. Proper Hydration (Filtered, Mineralized Water - Preferably Mountain Valley Spring)
2. Supplementation (Chlorella, Spirulina, Moringa, Tumeric, Nitric Oxide from Beets)
3. Diet - (Strawberry/Banana/Blueberry Smoothies + Vegan Fruit/Veggie Diet is ideal + Optional - Minimal Meat Clean Meats only - no pork, no shrimp, no crab) 
4. Cross Training (You need both upper and lower body strength. Consider Jousting and Rock Climbing in addition to weight training) 
5. Consistency (Aim for running at least 5 miles three times a week, preferably on a trail and never by yourself) 
6. Air Filter in the Home - Clean Air is important too
7. Consider A Trainer or Bootcamps for inspiration.
8. Follow Running Groups on YouTube for tips, strategies, motivation, inspiration
9. After Six Months, Sign Up For Your First Running Event
