Sub 5 minute Mile

[Zama7]

I see Adrian Gore is going to try run a sub 5 minute mile end of November. Also going to attempt it current PB is around 5:18 but that was a few years ago, anyone else keen on try it ? Will post a training progarm if I find anything cool online

none...
Remember - 5km parkrun in 55mins gets you points, but a 17min 5km run any other day of the week means 0.

If you can run 5km in 17 mins, you should have run enough to be out of points by March.

not really, remember it is keyed to amateur and entry level athletes and getting everyday people off the couch.

One shouldn’t be running 5-min miles in every session, so missing out on a 4Km club TT shouldn’t be a problem. The easy stuff should be enough to get points.
