This weekend I'm running the mile. I only get to race a true mile once a year, so I'm hoping to break 4:30 at this particular meet. Last meet I ran 3200m, and won with 10:10, and I closed my last lap in 67, so I'm hoping for a fast race where a good time can happen. Is there any best way to try to break 4:30?

there really is no other way to do it. all if you run any faster on the earlier splits you will go into lactic acid and fail and end up running over 5 minutes
ANY TIME YOU ARE TRYING FOR A PR, EVEN SPLITS ARE BEST. EXCEPT FOR THE 800 BUT NOBODY CARES ABOUT THAT ANYWAY. ITS NOT HARD.
10:10 with a final 67 does not suggest that you can break 4:30. You won so there is nothing wrong with believing you will break 4:30.
Even splits are more efficient but almost impossible to pull off. I like the idea of 70, 70, 70, 60. If you haven't broken 55 for an open 400, for sure, not just guestimating, you migtht want to try 70, 70, 34, 32, 32, 31

Realistically? probably about 66, 68, 71, 65
On Paper - 67,67,67,67 - seldom goes that way

shoot for 2:13 through 800 - then you have a shot

Why do you think you could break 4:30 for a full mile no less when just last meet you ran 10:10 for a 3200?
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
