Doing a mile TT soon, did this workout today:
5x800m w/ 400m jog recovery
2:20 2:21 2:23 2:23 2:23
400 jogs in 1:50
Felt smooth and in control, only got really hard on the last one. Didn’t have to push the legs to hit that pace
4 minute break
6x200m w/ 200m jog recovery
32 31 31 30 29 29
200 jogs in 1:00
This part was a little tougher haven’t worked 200s very much and legs were a little tired from 800s
Sub 4:25?

Workout has nothing to do with peak mile ability

I agree the workout does not predict mile fitness at all.
4:25 sounds possible. Why not have fun with the TT since races will not happen for a while?
The best mile times typically come from even splits with a slightly quick first lap. 2:12 sounds ideal for a sub-4:25 attempt.
Thank you! I time trialled 4:28.0 2 weeks ago but feel a lot stronger the last week or so. I’ll try to go 65-67 for 2:12 and then see what I can do. And also I’m trying to have a season of time trials since I really improved my fitness this winter and want to see what I’ve got in me.
I think that you have a good shot at it. Not sure what type of miles you've been putting in. Your strength seems good though.
I think you’d be hard pressed to break 4:30
I ran 4:28.0 two weeks ago
I personally much prefer on negative splitting miles, as I feel a lot more in control going into that the curve of that third lap with a surge and minimal pain rather than going through it wincing and convincing myself to hold on. I think you’d be better off going out in more like 2:15-2:16 and throwing down during the last 600-800, you apparently have the speed to do it.

RENATO can you talk about the preparation of Emile Cairess 2:06
Rest in Peace Adrian Lehmann - 2:11 Swiss marathoner. Dies of heart attack.
