I ran a one mile practice race with my local college cross country team on Friday and crossed the line at 5:17. I'm in my late twenties and have never been able to break the 5 minute mile mark. Even in High School, I never got past the 5 minute mark. Can any of you GS users break that mark?
I swim, don't run. Can swim 50 meters in less then 40 seconds. Not that fast, but hey, this was my first year of competetive swimming, plus I only swim in the summer.
My fastest timed mile was a 6:07 but I've ran a lot since then so I'm definitely under 6. My brother got 4:59 last year as a sophomore in high school, but I'll never break 5.
I used to run in highschool and back then my record, which was also the school record stood for more than 5 years.....5:05
the guy who beat the record did it in 5:00 or something so far nobody has done it in under 4 minutes, I wanst the fastest runner in my class but this was an endurance test ............
When I get on a treadmill at the gym it takes me about8 minutes because I spend like 3 minutes warming up and then I gradualy increase the speed every minute but I think I could still run a mile in about 6 minutes.
In highschool I use to just walk the mile, I was never the athletic type. Though in highschool I was skinny as a rail, but I was still completely out of shape.
With the jogging I do nowI could probably manage in like 8 minutes. I'm just guessing though.
[QUOTE="XileLord"]Wtf miles....what country uses miles anymore? oooo wait the U.S i forgot they still haven't upgraded like Canada and 75% of the world.
If it means anything i can run 1km in under 5 Min's and probably about a 9-10 minute mileking23_
I can jog what I think is about 2 miles in 40 minutes (repeated stopping along the way to take a breather :lol: ) How far is a mile, 4 times around a standard track?
I think anyone could run it if they had to (except obese people)... just they risk snapping a tendon, and would be very sore for several days.
I think I'll be soemwhere between five and six minutes. Possibly below five, I only train anaerobically, meaning I don't do normal runs. Only done intervals and such for the last few months.
