Title: How fast can you run a mile?
Post by: tallgerman on December 04, 2010, 07:07:43 PM
This used to be a real measure of fitness.

INterestingly I think in the NBA past michael jordan adn scottie pippen would score high along with bill russell.

Sometimes I philosophise that the body adapts to demands.

so if you ran 1 miel and did 300 pushups as fast as can daily thats almost unmeetable demands.

get huge n ripped


in theory anyhow

My best was 1.6 or so miles in 8:48 when I did cross country in middle school, 7th grade.  Assuming an even pace, I think that comes out to like 5:45 or something.

I hated racing and usually got such bad nerves I would make myself sick.  This time my mom promised to buy me a videogame if I beat the rest of my team.   :D

I remember running 1500 metres when I was a kid in 6 min 20 secs.

A mile is 1609 metres so comparatively speaking I could have probably done a mile in just under 7 minutes. Which is crap.

Nowadays I think I'd be lucky if I could do it in 10 mins!

You fellas that say that you couldn't run a mile in under 10 min are really short-changing yourselves. A 10 min mile is only running at 6 mph, I would say that most fellas here could probably run a mile in about 8 min, and I'm willing to bet that the more fit fellas could break 6 min in the mile.

a 6 minute mile is no joke for someone carrying any amount of muscle...Look at any long distance runner...they look emaciated...

Just because the only way you could ever go a mile round the track is if someone rolled you, theres no need to get jealous....

It takes keith 20 mins to wheeze his way to the front door which has had to be extended 12 feet either way cos he couldnt get his fat ass through it , he then has a forklift pick him up and drop him on the back of a super enforced pick up and then it's off to the drive through for a $ 100 (stolen money) breakfast , this is his idea of getting into shape , he has been doing this for the past 14 years.

Ever since I could remember a 6 minute mile was the time most teams were looking at as the time you should run a mile in.  Anyone who could run anywhere near 5 minutes was elite.  I was never into running even when I was skinny in high school.  I was quick for 10 yards and that was it.  I could run with the batter to first base in full catchers gear though.  I even had a couple stolen bases just because I was quick and could read a pitcher.  But long distance running was something I ranked last in.
Title: Re: How fast can you run a mile?

ok with the extra metres i'd be looking at a 5min mile.... its not exactly mind boggling. For people that run athletically several times a week you would expect them to be at that level.

5min 24 back in High-school back in the Late 1980s witch was quiet quick back in the day for a Kid..........Fast forward 2010.....not sure but i am sure it would be @ least 2 minutes plus....on top of the old time :( :( :(

Having muscle and running is a whole other story as opposed to someone skinny not carrying any. Back in 8th grade i wasnt even in great shape and ran a 5:50 Mile at like 130lbs. This wasn't even top 5 in my class.  Now im in much better shape and run 3 times a week and can't even break 6:30 at 5'8 205 due to the extra muscle on my frame. True way to mesh weightlifting and athletics is to get someone who can run a great mile time and benchpress/squat/deadlift a lot of weight. Best of both worlds.

also keep in mind...the ones that can run a 5 min flat mile have no muscle to speak of...therefore someone claiming to run the mile in 5 flat while also claiming to throw around some serious weight is either A)one of the greatest athletes on earth or B)lying there ass off...

The actually don't run a mile in the decathlon, they do a 1500 m (so it's a little shorter).  The best decathlon 1500 m is 3:58 (a mile at that pace would be 4:14).  The 1500 m times at the latest Olympics ranged from 5:20 to 4:26.  5:20 would be a 5:41 mile which is pretty bad for a world-class athlete.

Do I have to post a vid of me running round a track???

Bear in mind I was a semi pro rugby player for a couple of years.
