When you give your 4 splits, which lap has the extra 9 meters?
Good point, I add 9-plus meters to finish, so last 200 not as bad yesterday, but still that accounts for maybe 1-2 seconds.

Day 3 is not me. Inevitable someone would hijack my name, as I did not register it. I will run this evening after work.
And tried to post, but that name is now registered, so I guess I'm either going to fight this every day, or bail on posting. Thanks for screwing up my thread. Don't you have something better to do?
Wait a sec! You're mad that someone stole a name that you didn't register and screwed up a thread dedicated to how poor you train?
Hey, "Day 3" poster: this is the first thread I've actually been interested in lately, so please don't screw this up. Thanks.

I am testing my limits. The plan: run an all out mile until my legs tie up, and I collapse. Trying to see how far I can last, and how many days in a row I can maintain this plan before something makes me stop. Also, once I get the appropriate data, I'll take a few days off, and see what I can do after the break, then resume typical training, and see if this has any long lasting benefit or detriment. Baseline mile time: 4:36. Wish me luck.
Gerry? Is that you again? I believe this is how you "trained" your University of Hawaii athletes, right? How'd that work for you?

Wait a minute, asshat. I am the real run to the limit and you are just a hater because my thread is getting more replies than yours. Stop ruining my thread; I'm using this thread for serious responses to my training and I would appreciate it if you didn't distract its purpose. Thank you.

If running a flat out mile everyday is going to lead to burnout, like everyone is saying, then how often could someone do it effectively?
The most effective way to see gains physically would probably be once a month. Mentally you would benefit from once a week. I think to do the most but not be on the verge of burnout might be twice or three times a week.
I don't know if it's going to help me physically, but honestly I don't have anything else better to do.
Four things things:
1 - Interesting thread, questionable method, I like it.
2 - Good luck.
3 - When you post a day's mile include the day of week, month/day/year, and time of day when you ran it. It will help tremendously for anyone trying to catch up or follow you.
4 - Register a name to post under. The multiple personalities are confusing and if, upon my next return to the thread on Monday 10/1/12, there are dualing OPs and posters - I won't come back.
k thanks bye keep it up

That's called training 183.5 miles/week in singles.
Doing this every single day is just dumb and will more than likely lead to injury or mental burnout. Would be infinitely better to this 3 times a week at about 10 seconds off your max. And maybe add some longer reps one day so you end up with something resembling stamina.
As a gimmick this is kind of cool to see how long you last, but you might as well actually try to get better, considering you just ran 4:31 with a horrendous positive split. Just do it 3 times a week, controlled, and try to get your average time down.

which basically would make it the standard miler's workout and thus not interesting or experimental at all.
I love running fast workouts over relatively short distances, and throwing time trials in there over the mile and 5K on the track.
But doing a mile all out each day, you will get stale! Bored! Vary it somehow.
Geez folks, it's his experiment. Let him try and quit giving him training advice. I am sure he knows what he "should" do, but he and alot of us are interested in what he is doing. Good luck to the OP.

I won't have time to run when I usually do today, so I decided to run at 5 in the morning.
I had eaten a chimichanga only several hours before so my stomach felt like it was about to drop something bad...
BS. You ran at 5, several hours after a chimichanga.
I actually did this approach starting in 2004... I traveled to New Zealand and spent some time in a small village doing some missionary work... having a track background I would train in the village and wanted to start something new, a revolution. My results were so astounding, I really didn't need to spread the word. Besides, everyone is different and what I did may not work for you. What did I do? I decided for a year, every morning early before the sun was to rise... I would jog 800m and then do some basic drills and stretches. Then I ran 1 mile all out (I have to finish) I'm not sprinting the damn 100m's I'm running all out to where my quarters are pushing my limits. I would cool down 800m and stretch... I did this 7 days a week... my recovery was much needed sleep and eating healthy... extremely healthy. I ran a 5:07 in highschool track... but starting this plan I was around 5:55 due to being out of shape... but after a year of this plan. I ran a 4:28 mile. Isn't this awesome? Running is not that complicated... people like to separate themselves in their workout plans, this gives individualism in a small aspect of life... which all life includes individualism. The basics of running: run your body into shape, run your body into the ground, train your body like a machiene, go all out.
Run your all out miles for a few weeks. Take 4 days off then try one. Could be interesting.
Well this thread made the front page haha, maybe that will keep the motivation up a bit for you (at least for later on). Your scientific endeavor is truly appreciated (at least by some)
Since this thread is popular how about next-workout predictions
for workout 3 I predict
61
61
65
83
= 4:30
This would be way better if it was run every 3 days or so. The body can't handle this type of effort physically and mentally on a daily basis.
If this were done every 3 days, it would be a solid plan.

a rolling 3 day 400m,800m and 1 mile timetrial would make this far more interesting
