Running II
This is a follow up question to a question I recently asked:
So I wanna run 3 sessions for about 30-40 minutes.
That will be about 2 hours a day at least...And I was wondering if its bad, like if I can over run. The reason I'm doing this is because I need to run a timed mile with in a week
So is running about 2 hours a day for a week too much?
Like can you over run yourself (Like I know you can over drink like water and you can drown your intestines)
15/f EXTREMELY athletic

It doesn't matter how athletic you are...instead of doing 2 hours a day cut it down to an hour...you'll wear your body out and you'll most likely become highly fatigued...not to mention excessive running is terrible on your knees...rather than just running...I'd work more on an approach to the mile...try different running styles at different times and see which one gets you the best time...but don't overrun yourself...I wouldn't suggest any more than an hour and a half a day at maximum.

Even if you are extremely athletic, you can still get injured and fatigued. I think that two hours is overdoing it. That means you are basically running a half marathon every single day! If you are working toward a timed mile, running that much isn't what's going to help you. You need to practice sprinting, not so that you can sprint the timed mile, but just so that you are able accelerate the entire mile rather than starting fast and having to slow your pace. I think that an hour to an hour and a half a day is good.
If you overdo it you could work your body harder than it can handle, which will result in injuries and there will also be a point where your body stops responding well to exercise because it needs a day to rebuild the muscle that is torn and stretched through rigorous exercise.
goodluck, and be safe
