a mile

How fast can you run a mile? I ran it in 5:55 in gym, but I can beat that by track season.

Speckeldorf · **Posted:** Tue Nov 08, 2005 5:27 pm

I.. really stink... at running... really...

...

11:51

I used to be better, but now I am not.

I used to be a long distance runner. I usually ran a 6 minute mile, though my best time was like, 5:45 or something like that.

Mr.KISS · **Posted:** Tue Nov 08, 2005 5:44 pm

I think at my best I can do 2 KM in 16 minutes. But, Right now probably not as good as that.

Encountering Gremlins · **Posted:** Tue Nov 08, 2005 6:02 pm

No real clue. I'm so badly unathletic, I've never made it four times around the track without starting to walk at some point! I'd probably say somewhere around 10-13 minutes.

At my peak, in high school, I was at about 5:30 (more than a full minute off of the current KHSAA state record of 4:13 [1600 meters run]), now, I'd probably be lucky to turn in a sub 7 minute mile.

edit: When I ran that 5:30, I pretty much dropped at the end... In PE, I usually kept it at about 6:30-7:00 just so I didn't kill myself for the rest of the day.

8:52 seconds is my all time best.

My last year in the Air Force, I ran a mile and a half in under 9 mins, which is about a 6 minute mile. But that was years ago. I'd probably do a mile today in just under 9 minutes.

Last time I had to run a mile, I was in my freshman year. We had to run a lap around a park across the street from our school that's 1.1 miles around, & I did that in about 7 minutes.

DS_Kid · **Posted:** Tue Nov 08, 2005 6:44 pm

In about 4th grade, I believe, I got 8:38. The next year I beat that with 8:30.

But now, I have low stamina, so I tire out easily. I would probably do a mile in 9:30 nowadays take or leave hyperventilating for a second or two.

I used to be an ok runner, but now I pretty much suck at it. I don't really know how fast I'd run...

Norman Rorqual · **Posted:** Tue Nov 08, 2005 8:17 pm

I could probably run one-fourth of a mile.....

ed 'lim' smilde · **Posted:** Tue Nov 08, 2005 8:39 pm

Sweet, I'm glad there are other distance runners on here! Last year I got 5:35, this year I'm hoping to get under 5:00 in track. Right now I'd say I can do a little under 5:20.

I'm not sure. We had to run amile in gym, so I was practicing, but I think I read the watch wrong, as I can't do a 7:30 minute mile. Maybe I'll try again someday, see what I can do.

Shopiom · **Posted:** Tue Nov 08, 2005 9:32 pm

I cannot run a mile. I can walk a mile, but not run the whole way.

Jonn-E · **Posted:** Tue Nov 08, 2005 9:35 pm

EDIT: Oh, crap, I'm starting to think, by the looks of the race records I can find, that that 20:38 number might have come from a dream... I can't find it, so I'm starting to think that perhaps I misread one of the charts... accidentally looking in the column next to mine in a two-column affair. As such, I doubt it's it, and it seems too good to be true, so it probably is. And as such, I'm reconsulting the records to try to find an answer...

EDIT: Never mind, the 20:38 time is indeed the right time! Managed to find it again. Yes, indeed, 20:38 was the time. =D

Okay, I don't know what my time for a single mile is, but my best 5k time is 20:38 (and that was my third 5k, nicely enough). Doing the necessary math... well, provided my pace is consistent, that's a 6:36 mile. Granted, that was a relatively flat course. A few hills, but nothing major. My fourth 5k, which was on a course with a bit more random of an elevation, measured about a 6:57 mile.

Now, if I was running it only with the intention of running a mile, I might be able to do better, but at present rate, those two times (6:36 and 6:57) are the only indications I have.

Wow, Suicune, nice 5k time. If you look at the Run-Down performance calculator, it puts you at 5:48-5:51 in the 'Purdy' column (the Purdy column always seems the most accurate).

I think my fastest is about 11 minutes. And I run a mile every Tuesday.

My record for the mile-run is 6:18. Meh.

Marshmallow Roast · **Posted:** Wed Nov 09, 2005 1:19 am

I hate the Mile Run. I despise it.

My personal record is around 12:something... yeah, I'm a nerdy little wimp girl. I usually start walking once I'm halfway through, or say I can't run because of this little problem I have where a lot of running makes my chest "snap".

Shishu Hiwatari · **Posted:** Wed Nov 09, 2005 1:37 am

........around 12 or 12 minutes is the highest I've ever gotten....

Frotzer · **Posted:** Wed Nov 09, 2005 1:52 am

The most I have is 45 or 43

45 or 43, what?

Code J · **Posted:** Wed Nov 09, 2005 2:22 am

I love long-distance running, I do about 5 miles on the beach every other weekend. Think my best time on the mile is something like 6:25.

Black Metal · **Posted:** Wed Nov 09, 2005 2:44 am

Eh. My best time was 7:19, but I was on the verge of throwing up and collapsing after that. I'd much rather run the mile than do the pacer, though.

Shippinator Mandy · **Posted:** Wed Nov 09, 2005 4:31 am

Well, my school doesn't have gym class, so I don't know. Probably a long time, though. I'm incredibly unathletic.

Jello B. · **Posted:** Wed Nov 09, 2005 4:37 am

I can't run a mile, I just can't do it anymore when I'm about halfway through. Although it's not entirely my fault, I have flat feet, and it hurts extremely bad to run with the legs I have. You know, 'cause the flat feet...
