I can remember the day very clearly, even though it was over a decade ago. I was in gym class, and we had just run a mile. I had a goal of seven minutes, and I had finally achieved it. I was thrilled, to say the least, and I was excited to continue to improve.
Unfortunately, I had to stop there for quite a while. I had a knee sprain during the next track meet and this sidelined me for the year. It took me a while to get better, and I moved on to other activities.
It wasn’t until more recently that I started running again, challenging myself to beat my previous best times. While the 7 minute mile was a definite achievement for me, I was determined to set a new personal best by hitting a 6 minute mile instead.
After weeks of trying for 6 minutes flat out, I was unable to do it. I was fine with seven minutes, and even with six and a half, but I would always get stopped short on the third or fourth lap in my run, simply out of energy.
Here are a few tips I’m going to give you that eventually helped me to get to where I was.
I decided to gradually work my way toward six miles, but I wanted it to feel easy in comparison to something else I was doing. I went with shorter runs at a faster pace to get to the level I needed to be at, running half miles in 150 seconds. This was a five minute mile pace, and running at a six minute pace was easy once I tried it out.
You’ll need to be prepared to sweat, and be prepared to pant. The half mile was probably harder than the full mile at six was for me. Still, I accomplished my goal and it felt absolutely great.
Next goal on my list is 5:30 and I’m sure I’ll be achieving it.

There are millions of training regimes and diets to get fit and firm yourself up, most of which involve changing your lifestyle, joining a gym or taking time out of your day to engage in some form of activity.
The glamorous brunette is the face of the new line of trainers said to improve tone and strength in the legs and bum via a unique unstable sole. She will also be their spokeswoman for their new Jukari Fit to Flex workout. Reebok created the workout with inspiration from the performances of Cirque du Soleil, it targets core muscles and the upper body by using a light elastic band that can be used in a variety of ways.
Leading the test was John Porcari PhD, who agrees that the trainers should work in theory as they create instability that the body attempts to counteract thus making the muscles work harder. The shoes are based on a curved sole which creates an unstable surface which forces the wearer’s body to constantly struggle to find equilibrium.
The model turned actress enjoys swimming, yoga and dancing but focuses on her dance and fitness classes, which made her the perfect candidate for this exercise product aimed primarily at women.
She has recently become somewhat of a movie star and is currently starring in the film Piranha 3D. Although she only studied at drama school for three years when she was younger, she said this started her love of dancing, which she still does to keep in shape.
Kelly says, “I have always been energetic and active and I’ve always loved dancing. I’ve been surrounded by people into fitness and health for a long time, so have always been conscious about what I put in my body. I’m also aware of keeping myself in shape for my job and general lifestyle.
Consumers have so far gone mad for the Reebok easytone range and there is rumour of further, more casual models to be added to the popular easytone trainers
