Running 1 Mile Everyday For 30 Days - Result!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 бер 2021
- A 2016 study showed that one fifth of adults felt the furthest they could run without stopping was 100 meters and according to a 2020 survey, the average person could only run a fifth of a mile without stopping and most people hadn’t run a mile in over a decade.
I’m 36 and spend most of my day sitting at a desk looking at computer screens. Cardio hasn’t really been my thing. I mean why run when you can walk, am I right?
But after watching my wife run in several races, I had to admit, it actually looked kind of fun. So this is where my story starts.
As you can see I don’t have the body of a runner. I’m 5’11”, 202 pounds and 23.8% body fat. According to my scale, my metabolic age is 3 years older than I actually am. Ouch.
So on my first attempt I ran a 12 minute mile. That’s a 5 mile per hour pace. My max heart rate hit a crazy high of 194 beats per minute. The number 1 thing I learned though, is running is a mental game you play with yourself.
You will find yourself wanting to quit shortly after you start. Your mind will start to tell you your legs are too tired, you can’t do this, my feet shouldn’t hurt like this, my lungs can’t take it, but you just have to embrace the suck and keep on pushing.
So now that I know I have it in me, it was time to focus on getting better, running that mile each day and trying to improve upon my last day's effort and to see if I can transform myself into a runner in just 30 days.
On day 4 I was able to run a 10 minute mile and I slowly begin to increase the speed on my treadmill on the days I ran on it.
By day 14 I hit a 9 minute mile, but I also started to feel the effects of running everyday without rest. I developed shin splints. The continued to nag me throughout the challenge and was just something I had to try and ignore and push through the pain. Is the the best advice, I'm not sure, but I'd gotten this far and I didn't want to discontinue this challenge.
The injuries did slow me down so my speeds weren't improving as quickly as they had been. By day 23 I got had gotten my time down to 8 and a half minutes. Also my knees began to hurt a lot more.
I decided at this point to just keep running, work on my breathing and then try to give it all on day 30. For my day 30 run I started at and 8 mile per hour pace for the first half mile. Then I bumped it up to 8.5 for a quarter of a mile and on the final quarter I kicked it up to 9 miles per hour and for the last 200 meters finished at 10 miles per hour.
My lungs were burning, but the accomplishment I felt was amazing. I finished at just a little over a 7 minute mile.
at 17 years old I was running a 6 minute 45 second mile, so seeing how im nearly 20 years older and 50 pounds heavier this was a huge win, and I am very happy with how far I cam in 30 days.
I didn't lose any weight during this challenge, mostly because I was less active than normal because of the nagging injuries. I tried to rest as much as I could for the next day. That being said, I actually felt amazing. I noticed a big difference with my breathing. I feel like I am getting more oxygen with each breath now and really feel great!
When I started this challenge I really wanted to run a 5K race, so I decided to run one, virtually on my treadmill, with the goal of finishing it without stopping. I was able to finish it with a time of 32 minutes. I really feel that I could improve on this, especially once some of my aches and pains subside. Now I have a new goal I can work towards! - Навчання та стиль

دوست! آپ کا وڈیو بلکل سچا اور کھرا ہے۔
میں 39 سال کا ہوں اور میں نے کچھ عرصہ پہلے ہی دوڑنا شروع کیا ہے۔
4 دن دوڑتا اور ایک دن آرام کرتا ہوں۔ کوئی بہتری نہ ہو رہی تھی اور میں بیچ میں بار بار دوڑنے کی بجائے چلنے لگتا تھا۔
پھر دماغ کو اور ٹانگوں کو نظر انداز کرنا شروع کیا اور اب 2 میل آرام سے دوڑ لیتا بلکہ شاید 3 بھی پر میں نے اسکی کوشش نہیں کی۔
جسم تھوڑا مظبوط اور چھریرا ہوتا ہے باقی کچھ خاص فرق نہیں پڑتا۔

12 mins to 7 mins is amazing progress! Very inspirational. I currently can do a mile in about 15 mins. My year end goal was a 10 min mile, but seeing you do it in a month, I'm both envious and inspired
Well did you achieve it??
It really takes some time. It took me 6 months, from 14 mins to 7 mins a mile.
In high school I did 6-7mins per mile, now it’s like 13-15mins
@@flextefitness4954 ehhh
You’ll run it easily. After a while you start getting into the groove of it and get used to the mile by day 5-6 after that you’ll naturally speed up
Cool to see an average joe out there getting it done and trying new things. The editing is getting better and better as well!
Thank you!
Love the editing, as well!
tried this challenge a year ago (age 16 )
day 1: could run a mile in 13 minutes which was poor for my age
finished the 30 days with a personal best of 6:54 minutes
Thats great man!
This has inspired me I'm gonna do it
How much weight did you loose
How tall are you?
I can run a mile in about 10 to 11 minutes but I’m 5’1
@melvin k how much did u lose for your weight
A few months ago my PR was 9:13 now it’s 6:49. I’m a 15 year old girl and I’ve trained extremely hard
Well done.
@@possiblepilotdeviation5791 thank you
That's inspiring, keep up the good work!
@@vexnorah1284 tysm
What did you do Im 14 years old and I’m trying to improve my mile
Great video, dude! Inspiring w/ funny edits - waht more can you ask for from youtube? 💪
This is some inspiration right here. Keep it going. Enjoy your videos
Thank you! I’m glad you liked it!
This is so inspiring. I was really impressed how you went from a 12 minute mile to a 7 minute mile in just 30 days. I used to run everyday in highschool to train for the wrestling team, but I haven't gone running regularly in over 20 years. I just started 2 months ago and got my weight down from 230 to 207. I still can't pull off a 7 minute mile though. After seeing this, I feel inspired to push harder. Thanks for the inspiration.
Running is fun! Everyone can progress very quickly. The secret is to start slow and stay consistent. CONSISTENCY!
Thanks for the video! Nice job on the run.
Running is an important skill for yourself, your lungs and heart! Good job!
Your videos are awesome and very motivational. I started running a little last summer and worked my way up to a mile. Before the holidays, I purchased a treadmill and worked up to three miles. I’ll definitely need to try the 30 day mile a day challenge. Thank you for the videos, and keep up the great work!
Thanks man, best of luck to you if you attempt it!
As someone who work in healthcare for nearly their entire career and is a fitness Enthusiast you do an outstanding job, great realistic information, keep it simple stupid ( KISS ) and in your case the beauty of your presentations in their simplicity and realism, also great that you give a baseline starting point for each of your Fitness endeavors, everyone should be watching your Channel, hope you continue with your productions !
Thank you, I really appreciate your kind words and support!
Like you I started a daily running routine. Started at 1 mile a day and a few months later bumped to two miles.
Started January 3rd, 2023 and haven’t missed a day. Hit 400 consecutive on February 7th 2024.
Still going strong
Thank you for uploading this on the first day of the month.
Best of luck to you if you give it a go!
Really inspiring! Thanks! I'm at a 12 min mile, and this is encouraging to keep at it.
Love this! Well done 👍
That's, honestly, a great improvement. Feeling really motivated right now. Just ordered myself some Nike Pegasus' and am going to get back into it after not running for years.
If you're still running I just wanted to share that taking one Krill Oil pill a day helps a lot to prevent injuries. It gives you better blood flow, lubricates your joints, is great for your heart and overall cardiovascular health, and is *vastly* superior to fish oil.
Also, as far as weight loss is concerned you typically start to see it after the 2 month mark. When I used to run I started because I weighed 270lbs. I didn't see any weight loss until 2 months in and was told that it's common because you add a lot of muscle in the beginning (from your legs all the way up to your lower back) and muscle weighs more than fat. Even though my pants were fitting looser my weight was the same. After 2 months I was weighing a couple lbs less every week and ended up losing 80lbs over the course of a year and a half without dieting.
So I don't really buy the adage of not being able to outrun a bad diet. Especially since long distance runners will eat 6,000+ calories a day and remain very thin. If you're a serious runner your body will burn off pretty much anything you put in it. (Of course, having a good diet is always a good thing and will help a lot with weight-loss and overall health.)
Great video. You are truly an inspiration. Keep up!
Thank you!
Awesome job with this challenge! Back in October I got back into running and slightly started improving my mile time. I had a goal to break into the six minutes. After a few months I finally did it, shaving my time by almost three whole minutes! Running is just like you said a mental game, I totally agree.
5:07 You deserve it. It's the 2nd video I watch and I already subscribed when I watched the 1st one. That's what I want to see : realistic challenges and results from a normal and relatable person - not the Super Saiyan training performed by the fusion between Superman, Thor, the Hulk and Kratos. What's so inspiring in the content I watched so far is that you set realistic goal for people who want to improve their physical condition, without having the opportunity to live in the gym 16 hours a day, 6 days a week, with muscle gainers and water for every single meal. You're a 'real' person, in your late 30s, setting 'real' goals and showing 'real' results that can easily inspire other 'real' people to do the same. Thank you for your content and I will definitely be watching your future videos (bell notification button smashed).
Awesome man, thanks so much!
You have no idea how much this motivated me, thanks brother…truly thank you for this video
I’m glad to hear it! Best of luck to you!
@@SimpleManChannel same here right now i run it in 8.55... will see how much can it change... I want 7
Awesome! Since december/january I've been running for the first time ever, as part of recovering from a second recent knee surgery and in part of preparing for the army. I'm at the point where I can run 4-5km thru the woods and stopping only once or twice. I seriously want to have a better condition as well as run 2.4km in 12 min (1.5 miles). So seeing this vid come out is a great motivational booster and as always it's to the point and informative. Shin splints, knee pain, you just gotta run it off! lol. Just don't forget active stretching throughout the day, this helped me and I no longer have any running related ailments (thus far).
I forgot to mention stretching in the video, I have been doing a lot more through you the day like you mentioned. Best of luck to you!
One of the best normal person begineer running videos on YT!
Good job dear brother. Keep going. Walking is better than running, 2 hours each day is good. Don't overdo with the running.
Love your videos and all the experiments you do
Thanks, I appreciate you watching!
this was great! i dont think i would be able to go straight into running like that so instead i'll just walk at a brisk pace for an hour everyday, thanks for the inspo!
That’s a solid plan. I think the amount I walked beforehand was what made it possible for me to. I ran at 5mph so it was slightly faster than a brisk walk.
Well done mate!
Man thanks this was inspiring
Good stuff boss!
Hello from India... love your videos and content in it.. you have motivated me to walk more n more...
Awesome man, I glad to hear that!
i loved this so much!
The reason you get pain in your muscles is because you're landing on your heel. You should land on the ball of your feet. It takes a while, but it is definitely worth it to learn to run correctly.
Nice, I'll take that.
I thought you were supposed to go heel to toe.
Love your videos bro
Thanks man!
Hi, I'm 13 years old and I've always wanted to just start running, honestly I would, but your neighborhood looks so quiet and peaceful and every where I turn I see SOMEONE from my school, also, I have a big family at home so I find it hard to get a private place to start working out, I'm sure many people my age can agree, but congrats on your hardwork! :)
Hi I’m late to your comment but if you really wanna start running, maybe try out for an Cross country team/running clubs, or do track and feild! And I was like you, scared to run cuz for some reason it was embarrassing for a kid to be running, but once you actually start it really isn’t as embarrassing! And if anyone makes fun of you for it we’ll just say that your getting more exercise and they’re not lol
I promise you no one will be judging you I always used to think like this but in reality it’s just another excuse not to start! If people are looking at you all they’ll think is how it’s impressive and they wished they were doing the same
@@cpsjuniorhigh2255 Hahaha possibly, I'm 14 years old now, umm, well I worked up the courage to start running when taking the dog for a walk a few months ago, which felt ok Ig because I'd just pretend I was late to something therefore I had a reason, but I soon snapped out of it, didn't even buy any special clothes, just casual wear and would just run, thanks for the support and advice, I'm still in school and a little too busy to get into any clubs atm, but hopefully in the future I'll be up to it! Hope you're having a good day wherever you are 😊👍
@@lottiee964 Thank you, it really was just a bad excuse although true. I've gotten better at running this year and I'm 14 now, still in school and would just walk the dog some days and run on the weekends, I mean, still practicing to this day, but I appreciate the support, hope you're having a good day! 😊👍
Good job!
Keep pumping great content
Thanks I’d like too, sometimes I struggle with ideas and time lol
@@SimpleManChannel did you try sleeping on the floor? It was amazing for me. Would like to see if other people would think the same
It sounds interesting! My house is on a slab so my floor is literally rock hard. Every time I lay on it I feel it when I get up. I don’t think I could do it to be honest lol
@@SimpleManChannel yes ofc it is hard to do very! I did because i had to definitely didnt want to. It feels horrible and hard to fall aslpee but when you sleep and wake up u feel your back is so straight and feels so good zero pain on the contrary great posture.
I am intrigued now! I do suffer with back problems from time to time. I use an inversion table and it helps, but sometimes it still gets stiff. Maybe one day if I get brave I’ll give it a go! Thanks man!
I picked up running again... 17 years later 90 pounds ever. Thanks for sharing your video!
Total inspiration, use to run the mile 5:24 and now 10:00 min a mile. Trying to get back at it.
Its the tall guy power walking for me 😂 00:28 . Great job
This is honestly incredible. I’ve been running for 2 weeks and as a 28 year old, 6’3 200lb man, I’ve got shin splints, and barely gone from 12:30 to 11:30. This proves that it can be done, and I’m just gonna keep working at it!
What did you do for recovery?
Awesome!!
Hi, how did you treat your Shin Splints?
So this is what Bjorn Ironside is up to in Valhalla. Good to see he's staying in shape for the next raid, Skol!!
I got 30 days to nail a 1.5 mile run and your 1 mile pace is a minute faster than needed. Dividing my starting time to do 1.5 miles is right on with your starting time at 1 mile, and mid 30's too. This is just perfect to see.
@@jcdenton7914 good luck!
Awesome Man
Thanks man!
Hit the kill switch on the treadmill, you almost wiped out jumping off it!
Thanks this video helped me
Great Job!!!!
Thanks!
I just started yesterday and i’m at 18 mins. I look forward to see my progress.
I just started to watch your videos today I’m trying the exercises from push-ups the sit-ups and the running a mile and even eating I weighed myself today and I weigh 270 my goal in 30 days to weigh 240 and I really appreciate you and your videos they definitely give a extra motivation 💯💯💯💯
So what was the results dude?
Congratulations! A 7 minute mile a is amazing!
Thanks man! I was thrilled with it! 6 minutes is the next goal 💪
@@SimpleManChannel Awesome! Good luck!
Was the only training you did was 1 all out mile each day? Or did you mix up distances?
1 all out mile
Great video I love running and as a challenge I use to run our local 10k till last year its been stopped due to lockdown, I have also tried retro running which is harder as your running backwards
Haha that sounds dangerous
@@SimpleManChannel it can be lol
You should do a hair and beard video - I like your set up
What was your bodyfat and weight at the end, man?
What’s your mile time not on a treadmill?
Nice! so far I got a 8:30 min mile as my fastest.
I havent tested my limits in a few months. I think i could complete this time, though.
In your treadmill clips, I see that you're actually heel striking. This is when you land on your heels instead of landing on the balls of your feet when you run. Which I can confidently say is why you're experiencing shin splints and knee pain.
So for longevity purposes and to avoid further injury, I suggest doing a quick search in youtube and watch proper running form and footstriking, to stop heel striking.
Hope you find this information helpful, and keep up the awesome content!
Thanks for your observations, I’ll take a look!
Nooooooo I did not know this.....
for beginner reaching 1 mile in 12 minute without stopping is awesomee
I’m from uk I ran a mile today after 2years I feel so good 😊

I just started running a mile a day. I'm on day 9. My first run was 7:48 when I poured my heart and soul, all my willpower into running as fast as I could. Today and yesterday I ran an 8:41 and 8:38 mile. Yesterday I was hungover from alcohol and was taking it easy. And today I wiped out rollerblading and had a bloody butt and elbow, my arm is injured, so I couldn't run that fast. I plan on being consistent and running a mile a day for like 6 months and then seeing how quick I am.
Do you have a history in running? 7:48 pretty good for first time
Hi I’m 115kg not light but was 80kg 6 years ago anyway I’ve just started to run and my tip to you is to get the right shoes. You can watch my 1 video or go to a specialist running shop. Happy running in 22
If you wight 115 you better to start with simple workout to avoid any knee pain, make it step by step, I wish you all the best, and let us know your update 🤍👏
To get rid of shin splints you have to tie your shoe tighter
We’re you doing street and treadmill the same day…and how long would it take to see improvements..
No, either one or the other per day
I'm getting prepared to take the physical exam for police in 2 months so this is definitely MOTIVATION 💯
How’s the run going?
@@GOATstyle12 this video definitely was part of my success with this police officer process. I start the academy in July
@@iamtired9350 hey i got exam in 4 months plz help me out how to do it??
Good morning been running some was good now I get MRI Tuesday messed up lower back left legs also take care.i day will run a mathron.lol warm up thanks for channel.
When I saw the speed walker racing at 0:30 against all the people running I couldn't help but laugh 😂
What was your time ?
I just started running 4 days ago and my best time so far is 7:17 on the mile. I’ve always had good stamina but my question is if my starting point is roughly 7 minutes do you think it’s possible to get to a 4 minute mile?
Thats a pretty good time for just starting out. I bet with enough training you could get into the 4’s
*update* I’m at 6:26 now.
Running is a mind game
I just ran a mile in 99:59, I will try to run a 0:01 mile in a month
I have been running everyday for 8days and getting slower every run. When I was in the fire academy I ran twice a week. I progressed for 5 months and the last 5 months I went down hill. Maybe it's because I'm 50 but it doesn't work for everyone. Just stating facts.
inspired me to do it!!
I love my running can do 5 miles about 44 mins it’s decent for 55 yrs , Then wash dishes for 8 hrs
i’m 20 and haven’t ran since high school 2 years ago i started a mile a day last week i ran a 10:09 the first day i just ran a 7:15 today im going to continue everyday for 30 days
Been working out , but wanna start adding more cardio let’s see what changes I get 🤩
Best of luck to you!
Should help me be more lean ?
Can run half a mile nonstop, need to jack this up to 1.5 miles in 3 weeks.
I've trained on both.
I feel no progression on a treadmill
i like your videos
Thank you, I’m glad to hear you like them!
I feel like if you take a day of rest in between you could prevent some of those injuries. Perhaps even get better times.
Yes, I think resting is important
this was awesome
Thanks!
That’s why I hate running. It takes me away from lifting. I still do it but man I’m struggling to lift now.
How many pounds did u loose
April 14 I did a half marathon in 2:02hrs, I set a goal to break the 2 hour mark, 20 days later I got 1:54hr.
Im 26 I'm losing weight for the Marine corp im looking forward to boot camp
How would you compare a mile on your treadmill and running outside?
A mile on the treadmill is way easier
@@SimpleManChannel why? Cuz it’s inside? (Just asking so I can take advice)
I am a beginner at running love it ❤yesterday 12 miles today 24 miles 26 miles total goal is 12 miles a day anyone have any reccomendations on recovery
You look exactly like Gordon Ryan.
I’m built just like you are- long torso and short legs, plus I’m a female so I personally know how difficult it is to run a seven minute mile when your body is not biologically built for running. I commend you on your effort. Right now my personal best is a 6:38 and I’m shooting for under 6 minutes.
That’s great! I hope you reach you goal time!
Only reason I stop isn’t lack of endurance. I got a bad knee. Elliptical is much easier for me
Current i complete a mile in 8 min and i have to run in 7 min next month please give me suggestions what i do to reduce timing ?
My wife is a competitive runner, here is what she suggested: warm up and cool down always
Once a week: 6-8 200 meter repeats at 8.8-9mph ( this is faster than 7 min mile pace)
1 minute light jog in between each repeat
Or……
4-5 400 meter repeats at 8.8 mph
1 minute jog in between each repeat
Once a week: 10-20 minute threshold run, Run at 7.5 mph to 8 mph for 10 minutes after warm up up time at threshold pace each week.
1-2 times a week: run 30-40 minutes slow slow slow ( this should feel easy, mileage these runs does not matter)
If you can work on hip mobility, strength, and increasing your cadence on each of your run days.
@@SimpleManChannel thankyou sir 🙏
dam hussler
Do more slow miles will help you get faster without the pain and injuries
I just prd my mile at xc practice today at 6:40 as a 12 yr old
Now you're ready to run outside
I run in 8 mins so I am gonna try this lol
