If it was continuos, that's a tempo run. That's pretty good if you had some gas in the tank. Means you are good for 1 mile in the mid to high 6s. A natural runner most likely.
I mean you could start getting more aggro next week
Easy run 5 miles (9:30 max speed,should feel like jogging on beach and you can talk to yourself in sentences)
Tempo run 3 to 4 miles (you should feel uncomfortable, maybe 8:00 pace)
Easy run 3 miles (9:30) max pace
200m repeats with easy running
That would be aggro for a beginner but I went out way harder when I first got started. If you have a lot of heart, anything is possible. But I regretted it, I got lucky that I was learning at the same time and adjusted in time to make endurance training a lifetime hobby.
If I were you, I would be more worried about my muscle. 200m repeats and hard pushup/pullup variations. Serious distance running is for DYELS.
it was 4 miles continuous. u tell me to do that for 2 weeks and get back to you, but seeing that i have big heart, u are changing some plans for me.
what is DYELS?
i did push ups/triceps yesterday. weak af. 3 weeks no training will do this to ectomorph. i did 3 sets push ups 30/20/20 then tricep dips BWx15x3. sore af right now. my right pectoral kept on getting stuck. had a massive pump after.

Knowing the kid, it was faster than tempo pace. Which is fine, he has a lot of heart. There are whole training programs based on higher intensity stuff and its usually lower mileage. There is no way regular humans can run these. I have in the past and I know my boy could do it too, but then he is going to look back at running with the donk mentality that he didn't enjoy it.
Anyways, I am not going to spend too much time on this because he is going to give it up when the gyms come back. I spent a little bit just in case he wanted to learn. Nah, he just wants to run fast. That's fine, its not like he is going to run more than 20 miles a week. He can run as fast as he wants, but it will be a temporary fling and not marriage. Which sounds reasonable, running is for DYELS.
no. when the gym opens i will continue to run. i want to live the aesthetic/powerlifting/EV lifestyle. all of last year i sat around 15%ish body fat. no abs, but didn't look bad. beach season upon us soon. it is hard to do both, but i got the big heart like u say.

Using the HRM, we worked out his easy pace at 11:00 to 13:00 a mile!!! He had massive aerobic drift for an easy 5 miler. Started at 10:30 and ended up at 12:30. LOL. He so out of shape.
Now, N1 doing 4 miles in 32:00 a great sign. But again, that for sure was faster than tempo. I know the kid, too much heart.
the one i met? he is a nice guy. his chelsea boots was nice, but i think he should upgrade. Allen Edmonds going downhill. RM Williams suits him well. most comfortable boots ive ever worn. whole cut leather, not like the rest of these clown yuppie brands. a classy guy like him needs it. he would love it.
loco knows. no one can stop me as long as i have the big heart that i have. not even a flu stopped me from a lift session during ABPxLoco. I HAD AMRAP DL THAT DAY.
