INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You'll never beat a five minute mile without a plan and proper schedule. For the best results, you should be training almost every day, incorporating different exercises. Start your week with a distance run, running for at least 40 minutes or about 3 miles, and gradually increasing that as you train. Take the next day to rest or do some other training like yoga or weight lifting. Pick a few days a week to do interval or hill training, followed by another day of rest or cross training. In order to get your body into the right shape for a 5 minute mile, eating the right diet that will give your body energy is important, and it will help it to recover after training. Get the right proteins through eggs, sweet potatoes, salmon, and chicken. Proteins like salmon contain ingredients like omega-3 essential fatty acids which increase heart health and help performance. Leafy greens like kale contain a wealth of vitamins that keep your body healthy and moving like vitamins A, B6, C, and K. Whole wheat pasta in the right portions will provide you with the carbs you need to maximize muscle glycogen stores. If you want to run a 5 minute mile you need to train your body in other ways than just running to get into shape. Other exercises will not only help you run faster, but will help prevent injury and increase form. Planks are a great way to strengthen your core, lower back, and shoulders; three areas that are important for a fast run. Hold planks for 45 seconds and do 3-5 reps. Kettlebell squats will work your glutes and leg muscles while also strengthening your core. Do 2-3 sets of 10-12 reps. Do some yoga to help you improve flexibility, recover faster, and simply destress.

SUMMARY: Develop a training schedule. Eat a healthy diet. Work on your general fitness.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: : "Walk/Work your talk!" with integrity -- and in doing that, earn the right to have responsibility for others' success. True authority is born from respect for the purpose, good character and trustworthiness of the person who leads them to opportunity for success. People will respond more openly to a person of passion and dedication -- but by not complaining against the student and never demeaning the work... Leaders need to be able to be a "source of inspiration", and be a motivator getting the work into gear towards the required action or cause. It is impossible to make a student do anything -- but inspire and coach the techniques: "Do it this way!" -- and "Right. That's it!" Although the responsibilities and roles of a leader and follower are different, the leader needs to be seen to be part of the team working towards the goal. This kind of leader will not be afraid to work. People look to the leader during times of uncertainty and unfamiliarity to find reassurance and security. Storms, emotions, and crises come and go and a good leader takes these as part of the journey and keeps a cool head. In turn, students learn to follow suit. So then, the goal is in view a good leader views the situation as a whole, and also in part: Always be breaking the course down into manageable steps and making progress towards each part and the finish line. The course changes each day. It is not one race, but many sprints. A good leader is committed to excellence. Second best does not lead to the best success. The good leader not only maintains high standards, but is proactive to advance the goal forward in order to achieve excellence in all areas.

SUMMARY:
Be known to live honestly, i.e. Be enthusiastic about your and the students' work (praise the work not the student) or the cause and also about your role as leader. Roll up your sleeves and get dirty/do not sit, or yawn and look bored. Be orderly and purposeful in situations of uncertainty by portraying a confident and positive demeanor. Tolerate ambiguity (wait and see) and remain calm, proactively composed and steadfast to the main purpose. Focus on the whole but see its parts to think analytically and break it down into sub parts for closer inspection. Raise the bar.
