[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I need to be able to run a mile faster in less than a month and would love some tips from runners on how to do this.  I've never been good with endurance activities. I can get through a mile in a little over 11 minutes, but need to be under 10 minutes.  What is the best way to do this?  Intervals?  Just running the mile consistently?  [/quote]

How old are you, are you M or F and what is your height and weight?  Also, to you have any background in any sports?

F 5'4" and 110  Did gymnastics and across as a kid and then bodybuilding for awhile as an adult.  
And yes, other poster- I supposed I do mean decrease my mile time!  I think I meant improve and it came out as increase.  In about 10 days of doing intervals every other day, I've gotten down from 11:10 to 10:25 so hopefully it keeps improving.[/quote]

Oh gosh, you're a tiny person with a background in sports. You can do this, no problem.

I wouldn't do the intervals every other day, though. Twice a week max, plus two easy runs. There's a philosophy now that if you run your easy runs easy, you can go harder on your interval days.
