Here’s a rundown of Running Mile Repeats | 10K Training Plan Sub 38 Series Ep.5 from That Running Guy. The video has solid coaching, watch it through for the detail.

Key points:

  • Goal: sustain ~6:05 min per mile across all four mile repeats.
  • Start a touch easier (around 6:10) and work into target pace.
  • Recovery jogs are 2 minutes, but go to 3 if your legs feel sluggish.
  • Steady breathing, good form, relaxed upper body. These help you stay consistent.
  • If pace slips (e.g. 6:04), dig in and push through the headwind.

Workout example:

  1. Warm up as needed.
  2. Repeat 1: 1 mile at ~6:05 min/mile, 2 min recovery jog.
  3. Repeat 2: 1 mile at ~6:05 min/mile, 2 min recovery (bump to 3 if legs are tight).
  4. Repeat 3: 1 mile at ~6:04 min/mile, 3 min recovery.
  5. Repeat 4: 1 mile at ~6:04 min/mile, 3 min recovery.

Adjust recovery or pace slightly based on feel. Aim to keep each mile in the 6:04-6:05 range.

Closing note: try this mile-repeat workout and use the Pacing app to fine-tune your recovery for your fitness. It builds the speed and stamina for a sub-38 10K.
