5 mile run

[cobaltbluechase]

Hey guys i'm on a vigorous workout plan and i love it. I have cardio days where I run and work abs. My run is a 5 mile run and I usually do it in 48min. Well I wanted to ask you is this doing anything for me because I though 48min was good but apparently all these hardcore runners are doing it in like 30min. I feel great after I rund and my heart rate does get up. I just like to pace myself so I don't get winded. Let me know what you guys think..thanx

I did around 5 miles in 30 minutes today, but that was on a bike doing HIIT. I imagine its much harder when you're running.

I recently got into HIIT (High intensity interval training) for the first time and it was really challenging. I would recommend it if you are trying to get faster and have more stamina. I have a thread on this here..
