Just over seven minutes. Eight plus something if I'm tired. Anywhere up to 20 minutes if I don't feel like running.

How fast could I run a mile, you say?

5:15 a couple years ago..

That wasn't the question? Oh, right.. how fast "can" I run a mile?

Mrhhm.. not sure.. *cough* :(

I used to be able to run a mile in 6:30, no joke. I did two in 13:36 once.

Now I'd be lucky to run a mile in nine minutes. I'm horribly out of shape.

Hard to say, I think 7-8 minutes. When I do cross-country running, I mostly focus on running 60 minutes, 90 minutes, 120 minutes, rather than caring about distance.

Treadmill?

Coincidentally, even back when I could run a mile consistently under 5:30, I couldn't break 6:00 on a treadmill during winter when it would snow.. dunno why, but I'm not a fan of treadmills..

Four minutes and like 46 seconds was my best run on the track at school for a mile. Some of you might be like,"N0 W4Y!1!1!!!ONEELEVEN!1!!111!" but I'm telling the truth, when I took PF (Physical Fitness), I was the fastest runner (although I'm horrible at swimming, not much upper body strength). I also happen to be the fastest runner on my soccer team, which isn't going to last cause I'm switching to a better team.

According to me, if you run a mile over 5:30, you're either really fat, or a girl that only cares about going to the mall.

It's not really 'shallow' so much as it is 'shockingly uninformed.' Statistically, very few of us can run a 5:30 mile, even those of us who aren't 'fat.'

The goal for a mile run is just under 4 minutes for top athletes. I think I could run under 6minutes for 1.6km with maybe 2-3 weeks of training. But I didn't vote on the poll, as I haven't been timed for a mile. I think it's believable though.

I average about 6:15 for three miles, then it slows to almost 7 minutes for each mile thereafter.

I usually run three, occasionally more, five times a week, weather permitting.

Hey, buddy, I would like to see you run in cross country races like me. Maby you are just jelous or something, I do not know, but I can easily run only one mile in under 6 minutes. For practices, we have ran up to about 9 miles.

That is not quite correct... I used to be able to run (sprinter, actually) and a good swimmer (never lost so much weight until I gained muscle mass) - but that was ten years ago (when I still played soccer on a regular basis).

I now am overweight and seriously out of shape. Don't chase me. There won't be any chasing, 'cause chasing includes running. I'm the guy who get's eaten by the monster...

Hey buddy, I have run in cross country races and if you'd have read my previous posts, you'd probably know that.

I might be jealous if I cared how fast I could run a mile, but such as it is I place more stock in my intellectual capacity than my physical capacity. The reason I'm pointing this out is because you probably couldn't find a random sample of people with times like these anywhere on the planet, save possibly for parts of Africa.

It might be because the people who can run fast miles are attracted to this thread, which would have been a much more effective way of shutting me up than the method you chose to employ. Swing and a miss!

No offense to you, but you could of easily stayed in shape. My cross country coach is pretty damn old (wrinkles and little hair, and that hair is grey) and he is probably faster than most of us. The only people faster than him is the varsity team. Good day.

Gee. I never ran cross country. At school, we only had those red clay 400m round tracks.

And I hated it, because I was one of the slowest guys but still faster than all the girls...

The times one had to run receive good grades were ridiculous: Close to German National Records and what they run at the Olympics for an A+.

I guess that quitting smoking would be the first thing. (Maybe next year?)
Then start running around, or maybe run to the university pool, swim, run back.

Right now, I'm just happy that my mind is doing quite alright again, body is next to achieve mind-soul balance. :)

Fair enough. Flamebait, broadly speaking, is a post which serves little or no identifiable purpose other than to goad your opponent [in this case, me] into responding angrily. Since I can't see any other possible [expected] response to your post, I'm forced to conclude that's precisely what it was. this thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=416023) discusses it and a good deal of other rules violations in better detail.

I'm glad you asked; it's been my experience that most people don't and then bitch about "free speech" when they're banned or deleted. I'm glad to see you're actually interested in learning what the rules are and [hopefully] following them.

Are you an Olympic athlete? Because the world's fastest man (http://www.maa.org/mathland/mathtrek_6_8_98.html) can sprint 100 meters [say nothing of a cross country race] in just over nine seconds, which is approximately 23mph.

So basically, what you're saying here , is that you can sustain a speed of roughly 24 mph--faster than the current recordholder--for the [b]full 8 miles. If that's the case you probably ought to give Guinness a call. But in the meantime, don't expect any of us to beleive this nonsense.

You did not run 8 miles in 21 minutes. I guaranfuckingtee it.

Lets just say: faster than the average hooker in a dark alleyway, and leave it at that, shall we?

In seriousness, last time I was forced to "run" a mile, I walked backwards the entire way and managed to be last at about 40 minutes. The only thing running a mile teaches you how to do is to run another mile. On the other hand sprinting is useful for jay walking and avoiding the shiftier people who frequent the Bronx at 3 AM.

Back in high school (when I was fitter) I was the best cross country runner in my school. At 12 I could run 1500m in 5:28. The best I ever managed was 4:50 when I was 13.

Mysteriously I lost my running ability after 14 - about the time I discovered alcohol. Ah well. *munches pie*

EDIT: Oh shit, I forgot to mention my now time. After training myself up for a while, I can now run the 1500m in...........

lol, run a mile? I hope you don't mean like, all at once. I can barely run a quarter of a mile in one go before collapsing.

I clocked 6:29 a few months back after I hadn't ran in months. I'd like to do better but I never had a real chance.

[QUOTE=Juche Resistance
According to me, if you run a mile over 5:30, you're either really fat, or a girl that only cares about going to the mall.[/QUOTE]

I'm not fat, can't run a mile under 5:30, but I'd gladly meet you on the Ice Rink, where we can discuss this wearing skates...

(He's going to stab you, don't do it)

Being a soccer players I have to run a mile in under 6 minutes, preferably. I've cleared a 400 meter dash in less than 1 minute, so there ya go. I'm quite a fast sonovabitch.

CORRECTION: I'm just really skinny and train for running almost daily, and all of you are just untrained. Is that cool with you?

How fast can you run a 400 meter?

And how old are you?

Actually, hockey players don't stab, they spear. A minor technicality, but nevertheless the message on the rink is the same as in life: "keep your head UP!"

I usualy do half-mile or quarter-mile runs, and last time I checked I was doing those in 3:05-3:20 (half) and 1:25-1:30 (quarter) so I'll just multiply and say 6:10-6:40 on a good day, but probably more like 6:30-7:10 because I'll get tired.

I don't even run to my car when it's raining.

Actually runnign under 6 minutes isnt that great obviously u dont run or u would now that
Statistically, running a mile under 6 minutes puts you ahead of the vast majority of the population, making it a decent time. It's a bad time for pro athletes, but for pretty much everyone else it's damn good. Obviously I have ran [but don't currently], as I was on the cross country team [however breifly] in High School. I know what's a good time and what isn't. 6 minutes is a good time.

And for the love of God, learn how to type; I feel like I lost brain cells just reading that. Is it really so goddamn hard for people to actually type out the word "you?" I mean, it's three measly letters!

Hmm...how fast can I run a mile....I can run about 7 minutes on a track, and around 6 minutes on a cross country course.

Roughly 5:24. Short distances aren't my thing.

Have you ever considered that you might substantially increase the quality of your life if you just stopped coming around here? :D

Never was very fast, never at all... I once ran a mile and a half in 11:30, then did 20 sit-ups and 20 push-ups - that's the basic fitness test for the Irish Army. And, at the time, I was probably a stone overweight, and horribly unfit - I still am, haven't ran properly in yonks, but I'm gonna get back into it soon. But I know two people who can run it in under 4:30 - two of my closest friends are runners.
