I used to be able to run a 7 minute mile with very low 8 minute mile pace. I've fallen a pretty long way. Thanks for the encouragement.

I say don't worry about ur VO2 max, unless ur wanting to be a world class runner and have absolutely nothing else to train. But keep it up and only run at which ur comfortable at, never over do it or you'll end up hating it and stoppingQuote:

Bump for a good cause.

Cool deal Irving. [Beer]Tommorow is our long team run. Im supposed to do 1hr 45mins. Lets see how far I get
Yikes, that is a long run for sure. Can you give me a run down on how you do your 1 mile speed training? Do you carry when you run?
We meet as a group on Wednsdays. Coach makes us run a mile at a comfy pace. Then 30 seconds rest before next mile at as fast as we feel able to pace. then another mile at same fast pace. then a cool down mile at our prefered race distance pace. So for me it goes mile 1 at 10 min mile. mile 2 at about 7:30 mile. mile 3 at about an 8 min mile and cool off mile at 10 min mile. I do carry a folding knife in my camelback when running.
That's a lot of miles! Most of the reason I stopped running and got so slow is because I stopped running with a group and can't effectively motivate myself.
Thats one of the reasons I joined TNT. Peer pressure is a bitch[ROFL1]
