David O’Meara, The One Mile Runner, inspires older athletes (30+ years old) to learn how to avoid injury, recover quicker and develop functional strength. These attributes are essential to achieving peak performance in any competitive sport.
As you age, your body responds differently to intense exercise and ultimately alters the way you need to train, prepare and recover. David uses his personal experience as a coach, trainer and masters runner to evaluate exercises, techniques and products to help you exceed your performance goals.
David’s own aspirations drive him to continually refine his processes and push his body to new levels of athletic performance. Essentially, he has created a personal “laboratory” to discover new training methods and prove his theories. David has been sharing his proven training and recovery techniques via blog videos. These exercise videos are now available via YouTube.
At 49 years old, David has proven that he can consistently run a sub-5 minute mile. But running 12 mph is not something you just wake up and accomplish without a lot of help.
It takes special equipment, proper nutrition, and an understanding of how your body changes as you age. David relies on a team of seven consultants to help him research, understand and address the changing demands of his aging body. He has invited his personal consultants to share some of their unique health & fitness ideas via his blog. And to help you achieve your goals, these consultants are available to answer your questions.
David is a coach, author, speaker, and athlete. When he turned 45 in 2008, he celebrated with an event. It was personal challenge; a feat of speed. He was going to run 20 one-mile road races, in 20 weeks, in 20 different cities throughout the United States and Canada... each under 5 minutes. It was an experience of a lifetime. Every year since, David has developed and accomplished new personal, professional, and athletic challenges. The knowledge and experiences from these events is integrated into his coaching, writing, and speaking.

| The Isles Mile Challenge, the fifth One Mile Runner event in five years, combines the themes from our first four tours: speed/strength/endurance (2008), recovery (2009), international travel (2010), and adventure racing (2011). This time, the challenge is to run 7 one-mile races, on 7 different islands, in 7 different time zones, in 7 consecutive weeks. For this new challenge, we have chosen to go back to our original race completion criteria from 2008 – where every race must be completed in under 5 minutes – or David will need to re-run the race, during the same week on a different island in the same time zone, until he breaks 5 minutes. <more> | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
