    What should I expect?

    I'm sick of being bad at the sport, I'm dropping all things athletically and I've been fully intoxicated by hate. For training I'm following Jack Daniels 1 mile plan @45 miles a week, but I'll be doing 30min E runs in the morning for 5/7 days of the week. So maybe like 60mpw. I've never followed a training plan without stopping for 2-3 days every other week and I'm really banking on this if you haven't guessed.

    My social life will most likely be minuscule but just enough to squeeze by. My grades aren't a worry as school is a cake walk as long as I finish homework. But has anybody ever made it so each aspect of their life was dedicated to running,recovering and gaining fitness? What have you guys experienced?

    How much did you improve? Oh, and any things I should be aware of?

    Dedicating your time to running only 60mpw? No social activities? 0/10

    It's just called being a dedicated athlete.

    Have a training plan, eat healthy, get plenty of sleep.

    The best athletes in the world typically live that way.

    You are unwilling to make the sacrifice of eating a healthy balanced diet, so all the rest will turn to ash in your hands.

    Absolutely do it..... it's only eight weeks. People train more than that for a half. Go full in and chart your progress.

    As long as your life is mostly balanced, I say do it. Good luck ......

    Make sure to run your easy runs easy. I mean that, it's honestly one of the most important things to remember. When I say easy I don't mean "oh man I'm doing 7 miles a day at 6:30 pace and it doesn't feel that hard". No. I mean run your easy runs like no faster than 7:20. You can see massive gains over a very short time by blasting your easy runs, and after said gains you will fall apart even faster than you built yourself up.

    re: RejectRunner

    You'll find it's really hard to completely focus on running 100% of the time. Doing all the little things and doing consistent mileage only takes so long. Try giving 110% in school, running, and sleep. It works better when you're not overly focused on one thing. I mean, Mo and Galen and Matt play videogames all the time and they win Olympic medals. In this sport, you don't need to train 40 hours a week to improve.

    STOP! We get it. You're new to the sport and ready to run. Just stop posting so many threads and go run and do some core. You won't improve by posting on letsrun how dedicated you are 10x a day.
