I think it would be a cool idea for ya, but incorporate it into your training, just don't stop training and run a mile a day. I have been thinking of it as an elongated stride to my 16-18 mile days.

Absurd
Absurd, haha that is great. I am just glad I am able to share this with everyone. I wish I would have blogged each day when I was in Maine a few years back and I did 100+ miles and 100+ beers in a week. That was another one of my absurd ideas.
Hey maybe I will do that again this summer and I can get to posting about it. And maybe (big maybe) I will still have a sub five minute mile streak going this summer to go along with it.
ha. totally kidding about the only running one mile a day.
although, man, if i could get away with it, that would be super time-efficient, just to wake up and instead of hitting the snooze bottom one more time, bolt out the door for a 6 minute mile, crawl back into bed - done training for the day. ;)
but, seriously, it's an interesting concept which i will try to incorporate.

Damn.
OK, how are you timing this accurately enough to know you went sub-5 on that one? No offense, but I'm pretty sure you didn't break it. Just saying.

how would you know, you arrogant prick?
He uses a Garmin so it's about as accurate as most things.
Good enough for me anyway.
I've got the blog in the RSS feed going and I love reading about this. Super interesting.
I'm injured right now but I'm once I'm going again I'd really like to try doing a sub 5 min mile every couple days. Seems like it could do a lot of good.
I think it would be a mental boost more than anything for me. I max the mile out in the low 4:20s and getting under 5 isn't hard for me, but its not an easy pace by any means and I think forcing myself under that line more often would make it easier to really push during a tough race.
I just wanna say thay your writing is freaking interesting. Every time i read your blog it pulls me and i feel like I'm there with you, good job.
Even with hand time conversion he'd make it :) Hey Joe its Geist from Marist XC , good luck man!
Just found out about your little adventure from Pete's Marist Blog. Good stuff. What's life about if it's not new challenges. This one is certainly a little different, which makes it even better. I'm thinking with all the mileage plus the "hard" effort every day you're gonna be ready for some good races soon.
Hey, thanks guys, ha, that is great glad to see that Pete and the guys are following.
UNC Dan, I would dare you to run with me for one week, my guess is I would end your season with a 150 mile week.
my guess is i would beat you in any race under 5k
I am sure you could, and good for you, I am a talentless runner. When I am in full stride it looks like I have never run a day in my life.
:-) <3
today will be a nasty one for you man - good luck. I have to study all day if that makes running fast in the cold rain any easier.
Ha, thanks, yea, I have been looking out the window all morning at the freezing cold rain. Today will be interestingly difficult to say the least!
What is your mileage for this week looking like?
