I want to know which one of these workouts would be better for helping to get used to 5 minute mile pace and building the aerobic fitness for it
first one would be starting with 4 400m repeats at 75 with a rest of day.. 2-3 minutes that gradually decreases as I gain more fitness at the pace with the number of repeats with a cap of 8
second one would be repeats at the same pace but with an increase in the distance, until it reaches 1600m (hopefully hitting 5 min mile) would also cap at 4-8
This would be something I do after practice that would assist with reaching my goals quicker. It’s done after my work with the team and I imagine they aren’t too fatiguing for the legs. I’m building up mileage to help as well. (40 mpw) Current mile is 5:37. I’m hoping these sort of workouts could help me break 5 in 1-2 months
so, which one of those would be better?
