I maintain that this is the oddest troll on let’s run. No one and I repeat, no one as a healthy 18 year old male runs for any length of time and continues running the pace OP is claiming, it’s actually much harder to run 12:30 pace than 9:30 pace for my healthy males that age.

when i had a similar kind of pain, it was posterior tibial tendinitis. by far, the worst injury i have ever had.
That is scary if I have that injury.
I thought that I might have posterior tibial tendonitis when is was in my last marathon training block because I had the same pain described on websites. I was stubborn and kept running through it. The pain gradually cleared up over the next 3-4 weeks, at which point I was completely fine. Therefore I did not have an injury. I just had some pain temporarily.

This is what I was thinking, but I was okay with being trolled for some reason.
I've rethought it though. I realized that I might find it easier to run at a 12:30 min./mi. pace if I stick my head up my butt.
BAH GAWD, HE’S BROKEN IN HALF!!

Yep. Supposedly a healthy 18yo male, 6'0" 150 lbs, can only run at a pace of 12:30 after training 20 mpw for 2 years?
Also, supposedly has a mile PR of 8:05 (again, after 2 years of 20mpw) and can run no faster. Really wants to get faster, but ignores all suggestions and implements nothing.
Hmm
David45, did you run today? How is the foot niggle?
Nah, he's been too busy spamming reddit with his wretched views and opinions.
He goes under imissfreedom and spams showerthoughts.

I ran 45 minutes easy today. My foot is still not doing well. I did intervals yesterday. They were 4 x 350 meters with each 350 meters being ran in 80 seconds and rest of 2 minutes.
350 meter intervals?? You've got to be trolling my dude. Well done.

I am doing that because that is one lap around my neighborhood

9:30 pace for him would be like a 4:02 miler running 4:45 pace.
It's not physically harder to run 12:30 pace than 9:30 pace for anyone. You are using less energy, breathing easier, outputting less power, contracting muscles less forcefully, etc.

Since hrs obviously making up numbers no it wouldn’t be hard for him. Answer this, when have you ever seen a skinny 18 year old jogging 12:30 pace ever, nevermind one who’s been running 20 mpw for 2 years now. You haven’t!!

That's good. About 6:08 mile pace. No need to run faster than that for 350m for the time being. Progress by adding 350s until you're up to ten then gradually reduce the 2 minute rest interval.

Actually, I have. I ran cross country in high school and also volunteered and coached a while in the '90s. Also, David hasn't been running 20 mpw. His schedule posted in this thread is only 14-18 mpw, and presumably he built up to that, and hasn't been consistent.
Also, I took P.E. in high school before joining the team my junior year. There were way more slower guys and girls in P.E. than cross country.

Yeah, that’s a good start. If you stay consistent and build, you will see noticeable improvement in the next month or two. Make sure you warm up before your 350 interval workouts by jogging a bit, and make sure you stretch afterwards.
