How to run your fastest mile
Taking on a fast mile is something that all runners should try at least once. Fast is obviously a relative term, but we think spending some time focusing on achieving the best time that you can over the mile is not only deeply satisfying, but is a relatively easy running challenge to fit into life.
Rick guides us through how he set himself the challenge of doing just this and you can try out his training plan here - https://www.runnersworld.com/uk/training/motivation/a30220376/fast-mile-training-plan/
