David O’Meara, the creator of OneMileRunner.com, is dedicated to inspiring older athletes (30+ years old) to run faster. David inspires people through his experiences and hands on approach to personal development. The summer of 2008 will be no different, as he takes to the road to complete a feat he is calling 20/20/20<5@45. That’s completing 20 one mile races in 20 weeks in 20 different North American cities in less than 5 minutes each at age 45.

Achieving this goal is going to be grueling – sure it’s just 5 minutes a week, but the training and recovery is where he will be spending most of his time and energy. In a way only David can deliver, this 20 week journey is more about the people he is going to meet than the feat he intends to achieve. In addition to the typical Blog Journal, David will bring you the people who touch his life this summer and the questions that they ask him.

At age 45, running 13mph is not something you just wake up and accomplish without a lot of help and guidance. It takes special equipment, proper nutrition, and an understanding of biomechanics. David has invited his personal consultants to share some of their innovative ideas on health & fitness and help him answer your questions in his blog.

We hope that you will enjoy following David’s journey via this site. But more importantly, we hope that you will join him at an open practice or cheer him on during a race, as he visits a city or town near you.
