Today I will be covering how to run a faster mile by fixing 5 big running mistakes.

Coming off running my first mile in 4:45 I wanted to spend some time talking about the mistakes I made on the way there.

Racing to Little, Having an Inconsistent Warmup, Having the Wrong Mix of Workouts, Running Low Mileage, and Not having a Post-Run Routine. Fixing these things a little bit at a time gave me the space to realize the benefits while continuing to enjoy running.
