I haven't measured. I know I can do 1.2 km in 5 and a half, so a mile would take about ~7:30 if we're being optimistic. Accounting for the fact that I'll be tiring out and reducing my average speed constantly, I think I'll realistically manage it in about 8 to 9.
Back before my knee was shot I could run it in around 8 without too much trouble. Now I'd be lucky to do it under 10...And that's assuming my knee cap didn't shatter.
Hmm its been a while since i ran a mile but back when i was a fit young high school lad i think i made it in about 7 mins or something.... cant really remember well though
That would practically make you a world record holder
No, I ran around there in my prime, now I can do a high 4 minute. The WR is in the upper 3:40's, and while that might not seem like a big difference, when your going that fast it is.

not really. just state champ :P world record runners are under 4 minutes easily
State champ at 4:30?
for my hs's group yes. the schools were divided into different groups based on student population. i think the year i won the overall fastest time in the state was like 4:10 or something like that.
I can't do it. I've got an accessory bone on my navicular in both feet. I'm also terribly flatfooted. If I even attempted this, my foot would be so swollen that I won't be able to walk for the half the day, and i'll be limping around for the next few.
Right now, only about a little under 7 if I want to feel tired afterwards, if I actually work at it I can shave about a minute off of that, but I don't like running long distance very much (well to me it's long distance).
I'm calling shenanigans on all these 3-4 minute people. For some odd reason I highly doubt people on Gamespot are that fast. I'm more of a long distance runner than a sprinter. But if I were to sprint....5.15 maybe? Maybe 5.30? My top speed is around 11mph, which is great for a guy with short legs.

mid to high 4's is not unreasonable to people who train.. even on gamespot. low 4's common for top high school runners and collegiate runners.

That is a baseless assumption, I can't anymore, because I do not train distance, but last year i could run a mid 4 minute mile, now i can run in the 4:50s with little training. No one said they can run in the 3's, that would be very hard to believe.
