ran 5 miles in 31 mins!!!!

[Relentless]

this is the second time ever i ran 5 miles, last time was about a year ago, it feels great!

last time it took me about 45 minutes!!!

post your best times.....

[Machiavelli]

My best ten mile time was a little over 70 minutes, but running 5 miles at a 6 minute pace is really something to be proud of, man, congratulations on that.

thanks!!

wow 10 miles, i'd never even think of running that much, 5 miles is long enough for me, i started gettin cramps near the end.

[Relentless]

mach how often do you run 10 miles?

i'm thinking of running 5 miles atleast once a week now.

[Machiavelli]

Eh, you'd be surprised man, I ran those 10 at a minute slower pace each mile, I'm sure you could do it if you'd slow it down a little. I think you're a little smaller-built guy than me, too, so you could probably be a hell of a distance-runner if you want, but for boxing, there's a point of diminishing returns, where the mileage you put in doesn't do much more to help you to get that ring-specific endurance.

But running those five miles at that quick of a pace where you're getting spent right at the end (tempo runs) will help the conditioning for the ring loads. Great job, really, now I'm gonna have to go run as soon as I get off of work. Haha, thanks for giving me a little motivation.

[Machiavelli]

When I was consistently running (and I'm finally getting back into it) I would run tempo runs twice a week (run for a certain amount of time, trying to get in as much distance as possible) this would usually be twenty minutes or so, and I would go for at least three miles. Twice a week I would do sprints/intervals either doing certain distances (100m, 400m, 800m, etc.) or intervals for time (run as fast as possible for two minutes, jog for one, to mimic a round) and then twice a week run for distance, with mileage totalling at least 6-7, usually 9-10 though.

And believe me when I say, when I was running like that, I could go for days without getting tired. The most important thing, though, is to run with intensity. Don't let it get easy. Even on the distance days, I would try to beat my last distance, and do it quicker. Same with my tempo runs, same with my sprints. Never settle, and the results will always keep coming.

[stuey]

my best five miles since my opp was 52 mins. not bad for a geezer being kept alive by battery.

[MrSmall]

Holy god, that's some good time kid.
How long have you been doing conditioning work? I know you're a fan of Ross.

[Filmnpuck]

That's a ridiculous time, man. Nice work!

[Relentless]

i have been training for boxing for a few years now but only last year i really started looking into strength and conditioning, i hardly ever do distance running unless its with the gym but today a few of my neighbours who train for football (soccer) decided to go running and invited me along so i said what the hell....

believe it or not there was a 14 year old kid who finished like a minute before me!

yeah i think i am alot smaller, i am a small guy, i only weigh 135-140

[Relentless]

what about before your opp?

[Machiavelli]

yeah i think i am alot smaller, i am a small guy, i only weigh 135-140

That's a pretty natural weight for you? I'm about 148 - 154 while I'm training, but can get to at least 170 if I slack off for a while. I wanna say you're a little taller than me, too, aren't you?

[jones1]

Thats amazing Relentless, whats your conditioning schedule look like?

before i started training i was around 150, went down to 122, i looked dead and now i am at around 138 and i am 5'8 tall.

its alittle too much to write up, i dont do the same conditioning routine all the time, i'll start another thread on it tommorow.

[stuey]

what about before your opp?

i would have averaged around 40 mins, but i am quite a big fella, not built for running. your time is exceptional:deal

[Melbourneborn]

Thats a good time man.. my pb? No idea for 5mi.. but for 5k (a little over 3mi) it was a good time, but about where it should have been for the effort.. we'll say it was closer to 16mins then 17.

Some tips for you eager runners out there who want to purely improve running times -
*Run hill sprints once a week.. really, really good for leg strength and imrpoves running efficiency
*Run intervals once a week.. improves speed endurance so in theory we can run faster for longer
*Mentally push your pace.. dont settle into a rhythm even though its really comfortable, actually get a mindset to push the pace
*Dont run more then 4 times a week
*Dont run time-trials more then once a week
*Dont do long slow runs.. as a man much wiser then me put it "Long, slow runs produce long, slow runners"
*Keep your feet low to the ground, almost skimming the surface, and swing your arms NOT your shoulders.

[JMonster]

dang, that's real good...i WALKED a mile and it took me 20 minutes a few hours ago lol. 3.0 mph

[Johnboy2007]

Well done relentless nice one :good

That thread written yet ? lol id love to see it too.

i'll do it when i have time,

there's no secret man, just bust your ass in the gym.

[PedroDePacas]

31mins is solid, well done.

My best was about 33mins. I was 190 at the time.

I think your lying , there is a secret and i want it!:tong

[truepwrz]

relentless=godly runner

the best i ever did in 31mins was 3miles.. =(

i want the secret to your running as well =P

[Peterp]

my PB for 5 miles which is 8km is a little bit under 26 mins when i was running a bit competitively

I can still pump out a 27:30 time for this distance nowadays when i only run for my boxing

anything sub 32 mins for this distance is fairly respectable

Relentless what gym do you box out of? I moving to london in september I need to find a decent club. I've looked at fitzroy lodge seems alright..

I'm curious.
:happy

WHOAH!!!

thats like 5 minutes a mile!!!

[MrSmall]

I hate running.

[viru§™]

I hate running.

The problem I have with running - soooo boring. :tired

[Relentless]

i love running, but what i hate is when i dont run for a while and then start again my legs become sore for a week.

[PedroDePacas]

Thats what mayweather says he does
That's damn quick. From what I've seen of mayweather, I think he could probably cruise at 5:30/mile at least.

[Dantes]

I can nudge out 5 miles in under 30 minutes. However, I run around 8 mile 5 times a week and do a 10 miler on sundays.

I'll be doing my first half and full marathon this year so I'll have to up my distance a bit.

[MrSmall]

Running for me is faaaaaaaaar more mental than it is physical, I can't stand it.

[Popshots]

I'm going to have to come to London and train with you 5 miles in 31 minuites is great.

I ran 10 miles 3 times, but I didn't keep the times.. my all times fastest mile was 5:03

[elindiomonzon]

i run 11 miles one day i did it in 75 minutes i was bored as hell but i wasnt that tired, i burn like 8 pounds that day
