how fast can you run a mile?

YouTube · Post by **Philaflava** » Mon Aug 18, 2008 8:39 pm

i clocked myself tonight on the treadmill and i finished at 10:06.

i'm sure that's not really fast but for a 30 year old out of shape dude i'm happy with that start. i want to condition myself to trim it by 40 seconds - 1 minute.

When I was in high school I could run a mile in about 6 minutes. If I tried to run a mile at that pace now I'd probably throw up.

My best time when I was 18 was 5:45. Right now, I'm running it in 6:15.

I can do 1.5 miles in 10:30.

I'm 25 years of age btw.

Broke six minutes when I was younger...never was great at distance races though...I'm short..and the shorter the race the better I tend to do.

I ran 3 miles in 21 minutes when I was 16. It would probably take me an hour now, not because I'm fat (not at all) but because I would have to stop for 5 cigarette breaks and random fits of coughing.

pssssh.

i probably run 8-9 minute miles when going on runs.

I can run a mile in about 8 minutes. I run a second mile a little faster (once I am warm), but gas at around 3 miles. I dont smoke weed or cigs anymore, though, and havent for maybe 4 years.

I don't, and never will, run a mile. I don't even like going up stairs. When I'm on campus, I take the elevator with the old ladies just to go up a single flight. I fake an injury when I do it, but I think they know.

that is because you are an extremely painful looking and scrawny character who weights 97lbs.

this isn't a big dick contest. just curious to see what peeps can do.

Seeing as I am still getting in shape after 10 plus years of heavy heavy smoking, I'd be thrilled with 12 minutes, but I could hopefully do less than 10 my first time.

I can sprint the hell out ya though

when i was in high school, my best time was 5:50.

i could definitely run under 7 minutes if i tried right now. i'm in really good shape.

Yohan · Post by **Yohan** » Tue Aug 19, 2008 12:05 pm

I can probably do it between 5-6 minutes, once I'm fit. The reality however, is that I'm still injured after 8 months (nothing severe though, while sporting my knee hurts like a motherf.) of not sporting. My stamina is way down, I can probably do it in 6,5-7,5 minutes now.

Sprinting is my thing though, I'm pretty quick at everything between 30-50 meters and relatively quick on anything not included

Difference is that I'm not 30, but 20.

Fastest I ever did it was 6:30

Willie B · Post by **Willie B** » Tue Aug 19, 2008 1:59 pm

ive never tried to run a mile for speed. the fact that i was going a mile by foot was enough.
will see if i can do a mile on 6.5 tonight.

well it's unfair at the moment because I'm training for a triathlon. I ran a 5k last week (3.1m) in 18:21 which is a hoss of a pace for three miles. I can probably run 1 mile in about 5 something. The triathlon is a short one it's considered a sprint...It's a 400meter swim a 10 mile bike and a 5k. I've been training at about 1 hour and 8 minutes. Competition is in 3 weeks and I hope to be at 1 hour or 58 minutes or so. By this time next year I will have done a half iron man..... I'm 25 175lbs.

I've been managing my miles just below the 6 minute mark lately. I never really run for speed, more for distance, but I average out the time it takes for me to run from my starting location to the final destination.

My current run is down to the Art Museum, which is about 14 miles total, and takes me just under two hours. So my miles have been more in the 8 minute range doing that. But I think that'll come down as I get a little more acclimated to the distance. I've been doing a fair amount of leg work to help with that.

I'm kinda unofficially training for a half marathon, hoping to do some 10ks along the way. Anyone here done one? Or even a full marathon?

DzzNutz · Post by **DzzNutz** » Tue Aug 19, 2008 8:31 pm

I ran the 5K, which is 3 miles in 21 minutes in high school. That was 8 years ago, and i paced myself a little knowing that i had 3 to run. Now i smoke about 15 - 25 newports a day so i doubt i could run it any faster than 10 minutes for a mile. There was a kid in the race who ran it in something like 15.04 or some crazy shit just over 15 minutes, he laped me a bunch of times amd i finished 3rd in the race. It was my only experience as a "run for fun" athlete, as i played football during cross country and baseball during track. I think it was one of those "run for cancer things."

ayentee · Post by **ayentee** » Tue Aug 19, 2008 8:37 pm

ran a 5:50 at age 15. cant even break under 11 min at age 30. what a difference 15 years makes

damn Gloss, you push plates like that or are you just naturally strong?

don't know how long a mile is but I can do a kilometer(

) in 6 minutes. Could definitely do under when I was in high school and 25kg's lighter.
