Default Re: Improving running times?

Not disrespect to the OP, but if you are motivated, running a 7 minute mile shouldn't be a big problem for most people. I believe you'd have to be in really pretty bad shape or a heavy smoker for this to be challenging.

Now there is a big difference between 6 and 7, but still, not that tough. I believe a very reasonable percentage of people (thinking guys under 30) could do a six minute mile if they wanted to, even with no training (assuming they aren't fat or a smoker).

So I think recommending a big training program to do it is pretty ridiculous, especially as the OP as far as I can tell is implying he is in pretty bad shape.
