Working out trying to beat a mile in 9 mins.

From University Archives, a photograph of the remarkable runner Glenn Cunningham and child. 

This photograph was taken by Loyola’s photographer during the 1938 Sugar Bowl  tournament held in New Orleans, where Cunningham, the current world record holder, came in first in the mile at 4 minutes 13.2 seconds.

Cunningham, a native of Kansas, had a remarkable life and career. As a child he was badly injured in a schoolhouse fire that killed his older brother, and it was feared he would never walk again. Through great perseverance Cunningham not only walked, but became an outstanding all around athlete, and one of the premier runners of his day. After his running career ended Cunningham, a father of 12, served in World War II, earned a doctorate in physical education and, along with his wife, cared for hundreds of foster children. 

See below for footage of Cunningham’s signature “come from behind” style of running:

#coachlife sometimes means fitting in your own runs when you can. And that was me today. We had a morning meet indoors at #thomasjeffersoncommunitycenter so I was busy coaching all morning and helping to run the #highjump. Then after I walked back to my car afterwards I decided there was no time like the present to get my miles in. I logged 5 miles in chilly snow flurry conditions then finished up with drills and striders. I’m planning to take my first dip back into real track racing of my own tomorrow at an all comers meet. I have zero expectations after a 3-year absence from the track, it will just be to get reacclimated and get some work in. Hopefully I can run the #milerun, #800meters, and #3000meters. No #longjump planned for tomorrow but I may try it a month or so from now. #mastersrunner #masterstriathlete #masterstrackathlete #mastersxcrunner #mastersroadrunner #runva #tracktraining #xctraining #neverstopstriving #justkeepgoing #zensah #zensahambassador #teamzensah #withoutlimitz (at Arlington, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnaHc81ukC7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Nice lil pre-workout run to count as cardio for the day. Goal was to pace myself with form. I died on the 3rd turn lol. Form broke down. Had a 7'30" pace before I did. Overall still glad I push early on & even ran at all.

[skyroadluchini]

I'll take it. Almost didnt do it. Was going for 20min run but did 2miles instead. The pace couldve been better, goal was 8'50. The splits was 9'50 & 8'04. Pushed the 2nd mile.
