Good day.
Is it possible to reach a pace faster than 4:00 minutes per km in 1-2 years of training.

Good afternoon.
The question is too general to be answered definitely. But I daresay that many things are possible.
You should realize that much depends on an initial fitness level. I mean it may take six months of training for one person to take part in races and run at the pace you mentioned and at the same time there is a possibility that another person will not be able to reach the pace at all.
And the age does not always play an important role here.
To reach your goal you should refer to specialists or try to learn a theory and endurance training methods. In this case you will be able to avoid serious mistakes in planning and your goal will be achievable.
Good afternoon.
In May I ran my first half-marathon, the result was 2:01:13. In September it was 1:56:16.
Thank you.
Good afternoon.
What should my heart rate be if I'm 40 years old and my pace during long-running is about 4 min/km?
Good afternoon.
How to keep a heart rate at 120 bpm during running? Maybe there is a kind of proper breathing technique? My pace is 5-6 min per km. My heart rate while running is not below 160-175 beats per minute.
Good day,
I’m running my first half marathon soon.
I’ve been training for nearly 4 months in the gym, mainly it is exercises for endurance.
Should I run a test half marathon one week before the race day?
Thank you for your reply!
Good afternoon.
I practice running since September. I ran 10 km in 1:09 yesterday in Sochi. My best result so far ... It was very hard race.
I can not figure out how to train further. Should I increase the running distance or just try to break the 1 hour limit.
My goal is endurance development and 21 km race in the long term.
Thank you for the opportunity to know the answer.
