I have around 4 weeks to get better at my .75 mile run. I need help.

I'm training in the opposite direction: powerlifting.

I need a quick program to maximize this short distance.

Any tips? Phone Post 3.0

It would help if we new what your starting point was.... Phone Post 3.0

Basically I need to hit 6:13. I'm probably 40 seconds off right now.

I plan on stripping off 10 pounds and practicing sprinting as well as running. I can hit the first lap in under 2 but and on a great day I'm pretty sure I can hit the 6:13.

I just don't really know how to training for a run. I'm a weight lifter. Phone Post 3.0

Leigh - 1200m is an aerobic event. Build your aerobic system with steady/slow distance work but also practise the event Phone Post 3.0
Gotcha. Monday I'll do 2 miles Phone Post 3.0

Leigh - 10 seconds off with 4 weeks seems like it's in the bag. Just don't get injured. Good luck :) Phone Post 3.0
VTFU for the positive vibes. Phone Post 3.0

Are you running on a treadmill? Outside? Inside track?

Do you run at a constant pace? Try running .15 miles at your usual pace, then up the pace by 2 mph fir .5 miles. Rinse repeat. Phone Post 3.0

I hate treadmills. Lately I've been running on an indoor track. The test will be outside on a regular track. When the weather breaks I'll train outside. Phone Post 3.0

Ran it early. There was a day that was 70 degrees and I was sore from squats. I just said fuck it and did it. Made it with about a millisecond to spare. Good advice and positive vibes on here helped. Next year I want to hit the 18 year old times! Phone Post 3.0
