I'm wishing you so well on your goal to break a 6 minute mile! This plan will work best if you have already been running about 20-30+ miles a week for around a year, have been doing consistent workouts, and have run sub 6:20. Leading up to this plan, I would recommend AT LEAST 4 weeks of easy miles 20-30 per week with 2x a week strides and 4+ workouts total in that time. We can go from there! Happy running :)
You'll need: access to a track and a pair of spikes
*also note that any running that isn't paced (aka a 400m rep in a workout or a threshold) should be EASY, pay attention to your body and go at a comfortable pace*
Hammer & Axe Training was born out of a vision shared by a handful of elite distance runners. We found in our training that we ran our best when we committed to training our speed and strength equally. A focus on strength made us durable, strong, and prepared for the adversity that racing brings. A focus on speed made us confident, efficient, and ready to move when the right moment arrived. We wanted to bring this feeling of speed and strength to as many runners as possible.
