Rick guides us through how he set himself the challenge of doing just this and you can try out his training plan here - https://www.runnersworld.com/uk/training/motivation/a30220376/fast-mile-training-plan/

Across the UK, running clubs put on low-key but much-loved races – some of which have been going for many decades. But are they now in danger of being priced out? On this episode, Peter Kennedy and Kevin Price of the Stragglers running club in south-west London discuss how price hikes in parks are threatening the future of the races they help to organise.
