What's your mile time?

I average around 6 minutes 40 seconds. Of course that slows down on distance runs. My morning 3 mile run came in at just under 23 minutes so I was between 7 and 8 minutes per mile.

I can actually finish running a mile before I start.

I'm just that fast.

9 minutes, non-stop.

Pr: 4:54

I actually haven't been timed running a mile for a few years, but last I checked it was about 7:50.

Boy I'd run so fast, I'd break the speed of sound!

8 minutes.

I think about 10 and a half minutes. If my memory serves. It's been like ten years. I probably can't do it that fast anymore.

I don't know. My sprinting is relatively good, so my focus has been on endurance and cross-country. I don't measure myself based on distance and speed, but solely by time.

Well i run a half in around 2min, and a mile in about 4:40ish...on a good day :p

Have not tried sense the Knee Surgery ... um I was like in the 6 minuet range last time I ran before the shit knee's

If I ever able to run a full mile, I would drop dead of exhaustion.

I'm suprised at the lack of physical ability of the people on ns:-p

on second thought...no I am not heh

...depends on who's chasing me at the time

...depends on who's chasing me at the timeWhat about a horde of Vikings then?;)

What about a horde of Vikings then?;)

Well the last time that happened I managed about 5 minutes at which point I ran past a nunnery and they were distracted.... so was I in fact, so were the nuns come to think of it

I ran a half-mile in 7:45 back when I was nine years old... I assume I could run a full mule in about that time now, as I have a lot of stamina and leg strength. I also know how to pace myself much better than I did in those days.

Of course, I probably won't ever attempt a mile run again... A timed one, anyway.

faster than the cops

No idea. As long as I can run faster than the thing chasing me I'm happy.
Failing that, faster than the person alongside me who's also being chased.

I do a mile and a half in 10:15 so I’d say about 6-7 minuets (though I’m trying to get 9:30 so I can laugh at the para’s/red team :p)

About eight minutes....although I can assure you that I'm not happy afterwards. :p

Who put under 5 minutes??

Pr: 4:54

Quite possibly the shortest first post ever. :D

About 2 weeks, I'd say. Why?
How long is a mile anyway?

at a guess 12 minutes or over. i'm very unfit.

i used to do a lot of swimming (max i swam was 2 miles once, which isn't bad) so the muscle mass is still there, but very untoned... plus i'm fat too :P


Quite possibly the shortest first post ever. :D

no gun smilie, too :eek: :p

15 to 20 minuets. depends on how fast i'm walking. i don't run. period.

ok, i might if the big bad boogie man was chaising me.
i generaly tend to avoid situations where this is likely to happen.

=^^=
.../\...

I've never run a mile. I'd rather walk and listen to the radio. Walking happens at a bit over 4mph.

How long is a mile anyway?

1,760 yards :)

I'll finish it one of these days.

What is this 'run' of which you speak?

I think in ninth grade it took me about 15 minutes to walk a mile. In tenth grade it took about 8 minutes for 3/4 of a mile, and I can't remember a specific time for a whole mile from tenth grade. I haven't had to walk or run a mile since then.

Back before I shattered my right femur in that military parachuting accident, I was regularly turning in times right around 6 minutes. Now? HA!

This has to be one of the stranger recurring threads on this forum. Are members of NS assessing us for potential game hunting enjoyability? Anyway, my PB's 4:50 but that was when I was 13 and, well, fit. Now it's probably about 6 minutes, considering 2 miles is 13.

5:05 right now, I want to break 5 by the end of the year though.

A mile, god knows, I never used to run it. As for 800 metres, back in the day( thats about a year ago, when I still did athletics) I got 2 minutes 11.

I haven't run that far since I've graduated from school some 10 years ago - I always use my bike...

So I have no idea how long it would take me nowadays.

Around 20 minutes. :cool:

1 mile in 5 minutes 10 seconds.
2 miles in 12 minutes.
4 miles in 28 minutes.

This topic made me think of http://homestarrunner.com/sbemail87.html

That depends on who (or what) is chasing me.

Idun run in imperial measurements lol haha i dunno never tried

Run 1500m and add 7% to your time.

How would I know?

The last time I was timed for a mile run was in high school, but back then I clocked in at 6:50-ish. No idea how long it would take me now. 7 minutes? 8? 10? Yeah I really don't know.

I was never much of a runner anyway. I've always been a swimmer.

That would still include running, dude...

*UNLEASH THE HOUNDS!*

Now lets see people being adverse to running...

I'm at about 26-27 minutes for three miles. Of course, the first mile is a lot faster than the last.

Fastest timed mile 7 minutes 35 seconds during a 10km run.

Never timed it on a track, so I guess I could be much faster if I knew it was just a 1 mile race, not a 10km one. I think I could do it in under 5 minutes.

in my fit days it was under 5 minutes.....now with both knees totally fucked from soccer injuries I can walk it in 15-20minutes...

running spoils the joy of a leisurely walk

I created this thread for 2 reasons. The primary one was to see how physically active/fit the NS crowd was. That then leads to my 2nd one, which is to put you all to shame so you get off of your asses and start exercising for your own sake.

You'd probably be faster running a mile on a track since you wouldn't be pacing yourself and saving your energy as you would be during a 10k

What's your mile time?

... eventually...


tho my fastest was... 3 days... with rest stops... :p

200m 28.8
400m 1:02
800m 2:19
1600m 5:05
3000m 10:27
3200m (5k split) 11:23
4000m 14:16
5000m 17:52
10000m 43:17:(
But i'm a freshman so HA

<Eats package of Oreos.>
:D

100-11.9
400-51
800-1:59.2
1600-4:43 that was in college and i had to run a mile for the dmr. worst. idea. ever.

16 minutes! Bwahaha!

Probably 10 minutes. Yeah, I'm slow.

It could possibly take me less than 14 hours.

How far is a mile?

i don't know and don't care, the only 'sport' i do is dancing on parties and the occasional cycling for transport purposes.

and why should i start exercising for my own sake?

1600m or if you want to get technical 1609m.

my P.R. is 5:25

Who put under 5 minutes??


I did! :D

Probably 10 minutes. Yeah, I'm slow.
Yeah. You are. NOW GO RUN

dunno, maybe about 10 minutes. the only time i've run more than a couple of hundred metres or so i ran a mile and a half (approx.) in about 15 minutes. that was in 30 degrees C while slightly pissed. i suppose i could do it faster in different conditions. running usually makes my lungs catch fire though and i really hate getting sweaty so i don't normally do it.

Pre-knee surgery in my football (american) days, I was in the high 6's and low 7's. Now...oh my...who knows.

I haven't been timed for just a mile in like 4 years, and I think my time then was 7:20 or something. Last year my first mile split in a cross country race was 6:30, but the first mile had a lot of downhill. So I'm guessing if I ran one mile on a track I could get in the low 6's (at least when I'm in cross country shape).

They don't test this anymore at my school. :( I think about 8-10 minutes though. I'm a spinter...or used to be...never varsity or any of that though. I'm too lazy.

I can do it in about 8 flat on a good day...

LOL, wow I'm so out of shape. I ran a mile in 14 minutes today. :(

My last mile time was some time around 12:30. I can't run nonstop though. That's why. It might be that I wear Converses when I run and not running shoes of any sort...

Mile PR last year, when I sucked, was 5:19
Same thing for two mile last year was 11:30

I got a little better this Cross Country season and got a PR of 17:47 for a 5K.

I don't run miles i run Km's and i haven't run 1.6 of them in ages.
*I hurt my calve*

I ran a mile today (er, yesterday..) in 7:26.

On monday, I ran 2 miles in the mid 13's, but I had almost passed out by the end. Probably completely fucked my heart.


*what happens when someone runs after not running anything over 100 ft. for about two years...*

I might even have gone out to the park and tried to run my first ever mile, but for this. How patronizing.

I'll guess 8-9 minutes, and that guess is all you're getting out of me.

I don't think I'll live long enough to die from anything other than an accident or suicide. I'm more certain of the latter.

What's a mile? :confused:

Yeah. You are. NOW GO RUN

Not for five bucks.

What's a mile? :confused:
1.6 km

5:58. Then I threw up and collapsed.

just to put into perspective how pathetic everyone here is....top marathoners average about 5 mins per mile...26 of them.... many uphill

I don't run unless I've got a damn good reason to run.

mile: 5:48

5K: 18:56

That was when I ran cross country. But now my main sport is alcoholism. (Its competetive, so yes its a sport)

What if you were being shot at?

What if you were being shot at?

That'd qualify.

Mile PR: 4:58

(Albeit that was on an indoor track, right after cross country season, and when I was averaging about 40 miles a week. Now it's MUCH less. Like less than 5. Maybe 7.)

Mile average: 5:45-6:00. (depends on the temp and what I ate beforehand.)

5k PR: 17:45 (average last year, 18:30)

1.5 mile: 8:56 (average 9:00)

I ran a 1500 in 4:50 in track, but not quite a mile and again, in season.

Now I only run when ROTC forces me too...at 6 AM (whoops, I mean 0600--oh dark thirty, the buttcrack of dawn). Gack.

Well the last time that happened I managed about 5 minutes at which point I ran past a nunnery and they were distracted.... so was I in fact, so were the nuns come to think of itWell, when a person is a plunderer and when a person has not had it in a few decades you can hardly blame the two for their 'exchange' of ideas.

I don't really remember too well, but I think I was in the 7 minute something range a couple years ago when I was in decentish shape. Currently I'm in terrible shape, it might take over ten minutes or so.. :(

It depends on whether I can get the chair going downhill. :D

W00t! 4000 posts!

When i was competing during High School i ran 4:44 as a pb. But since i hit my 20's i've slowed down to about 5:40-6:00. I still jog daily and try at least once a week to go as fast as i can for a mile but time is scarce when you work 52 hours a week.

It depends on whether I can get the chair going downhill. :D

W00t! 4000 posts!Wheeling downhill on an ice patch, FTW!

I can run one in about three and a half weeks. If it's downhill. And not too hot. And there is plenty of drink on the way.

While I'm crap at running more than three yards, I can walk a mile in 15-20 minutes. I suppose it's just practice and doing what you're used to.

Wheeling downhill on an ice patch, FTW!

Yeah, surviving crashes is for wusses!:D

There is this huge hill at my college, I was wheeling down it and about 1/4 of the way down it's ALL ice, so I started losing control and just sliding down faster and faster... I reach the bottom and go full speed into a girl sitting on a bench.
