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.
