Then what do you have to prove to the high school and college coaches that you have had past experience with.

Stop deflecting. Go run, oh you never answered my other questions by the way.
Is that your defense mechanism? deflect and ignore?
Fine, I will try to sleep earlier and eat a better diet.
Maybe you ran one lap shorter than a full mile by mistake?

No I counted the laps correctly.
Maybe he had his watch set to km instead of miles! That would be a good start, 6:51 for 1k.

No. It was in miles.

What this guy suggests isn't bad advice. At some point, you're going to have to jump in or admit you're just running for general fitness to yourself. Maybe you don't need to do 90 minutes yet, but you should get out and explore, see how far you can go and what you can find.
r/running is filled with terrible advice for actually getting fast. Finishing a marathon, sure, they'll get someone there. Actually competing, not so much. r/running is so bad redditors had to make r/advancedrunning, where you'll find advice about on par with letsrun
I actually think you need to chill on the messageboard use. At this point, its time to train for a while and gain some experience, so you'll have questions and topics that will help you to improve. How do I know this? On no site, would anyone have suggested you train solely in your yard for months on end.
Run, have fun - explore, see how far you can go. Develop some routes and see how fast you can run them. Run on roads, trail, and hard packed sand on the beach if you want, not in your yard. Do time trials of 800, 1 mile, 3000, or 5000 every few weeks, varying the distance from time to time, thats all the advice you need. You're not ready for a more intricate training plan just yet.
How am I not ready for an actual training plan? People do workouts in HS XC right from the beginning, where many freshman can't break 7 in the mile at the beginning of the season.
Even in HS, nothing wrong with running easy miles in the beginning of summer.

You literally just criticized my advice by saying it was too much too soon. Now you are comparing how people in HS do workouts right from the beginning. Do you truly not realize how thick skulled and slow witted you are?
Go out, jog for 20 minutes, do 50 minutes of fartlek, then jog 20 minutes. Do that everyday, then come back in sixth months. There's your training plan right there. Now shut up and report back in six months.
I got a stress fracture doing less than half of that work less summer
"I got a stress fracture doing 20mpw, never doing that again"
Nothing wrong with that, but you don't have to spend your time on a running forum if that's your choice.

You said it was a loop course on the street, so which is it??

Well, I need advice in order to get faster without getting injured.

You’re getting caught up in your own lies - was it on a track and you counted laps correctly or was it on the street and you had the watch properly calibrated? If it was on the track, did you go at midnight to avoid other runners because of your fear of Covid? Or did you run this pb in your backyard?
I honestly think he is lying about his mile time

Why would I lie about my mile time?
Here's a weird, possibly bad, advice - go join a short distance team, do some sprint(400m training) work with them. All the all-out 200m-600m efforts, pure speed work, along with some jogging will improve your mile time, then you can start distance training if you want to at that stage. You may have skipped over the part where run 11 minute miles because you improved your fitness by other means. Speaking from experience.

I have stated in the past I do time trials outside of my yard numerous times. I did it on the streets.
I think the reason why david45 creates so many threads is because he finds some sort of purpose/ fulfillment/ pride in getting to the trending page on let’s run. He creates so many threads that eventually one will get to the trending page. He has found out that if he complains about the fact that he sucks at running the thread will get on the trending page. He will say “I just want advice” or “I need some help” but the true purpose is to have pride in himself on a running forum that DOES NOT MATTER.

Then why did you respond that you didn’t miscount laps?

Because I ran laps in a certain route in a loop in my neighborhood.
Get on a 400 meter track, run a timed 4 laps plus 9.3 meters with video proof and get back to us.
A road mile in 6:51 but you accurately counted the "laps"? But, it was GPS measured and no laps were ever mentioned in prior posts. An odd inconsistency.
If you got a stress fracture running 20 MPW and "will not do that again", please explain why you keep posting that you run, by your estimate, five runs a week in your backyard that are five miles each? By my math, that is 25 miles per week and well in excess of your posted physical limit. Another contradictory lie?
Won't share data via screenshot? iPhone and Apple watch do not talk to one another? This is very strange since Apple products set the gold standard for integration. Mom's iPhone? Getting laughable now.
We can only deduce that you are fake. This smells like an elaborate troll job? Coincidentally, Jamin has been quiet lately - is david45 a Jamin alt? It makes me start to question Malmo's claim that you are a real 18 year old in the San Diego area. Perhaps he is in on the joke and loves the clicks that it generates?
