Comments on: Running a Mile in Under 10 Minutes http://www.344pounds.com/2009/11/running-a-mile-in-under-10-minutes/ I lost nearly 150 pounds by counting calories. I once weighed 344.2 pounds, now around 200. My story has been told on CNN, CBS, and Newsweek and will soon be in a book.

It's a running program that gets you from not being able to run at all to a 5K in a few short weeks. If you google it there are ipod podcasts you can download, free workout schedules, etc. Have you ever heard of Couch to 5K?

Were you able to hit it last Friday? If so, how'd it go? If not, how close are you? I'm interested to read about your results. You even inspired me to bump up my speed. Great work, man! Hey Tyler~

I haven’t heard back from you about this goal. Were you able to hit it last Friday? If so, how’d it go? If not, how close are you? I’m interested to read about your results.

You even inspired me to bump up my speed. Great work, man!

I started playing a mental game with myself where I would count "1,2,3,4,shoot" in my head, breathing in on 1,2,3,4 and breathing out on shoot. It's also a fun game because I would add a little hop on the "shoot" since it alternated legs. Keeps things interesting, at least if you're as easily amused as I am :) Tyler — I have the same breathing problem — raspy and shallow or not at all.

I've lost about 60 lbs since January from 330lbs to 270lbs, it's amazing you've lost so much weight. I would suggest getting a nike+ sensor. Nike+ has great training plans, allows you to track your runs, speed, time, set goals and estimates calories burned. It has really kept me working on my running goals. when I started in August it took me 14 minutes to run a mile. I just ran a mile in 8:20. My eventual goal is 6:00 / mile. Another great motivator is signing up for a race, as it gives you an end date to work towards. I’ve been really focused on weight loss this year.
