OT, what's the fastest time you've ever ran a mile? For me, a very mediocre 6 minutes, 1 second.
Anybody under 5 minutes?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
I did a 4:50 something mile in basic. I probably couldnt run a mile now ( even given infinite amount of time ) without collapsing.
5:47. I ran track in HS. I would probably take over10 minutes now since I've become progessivelly more inactive as I get older. In other words: I'm a big fat lard-o. D;
Man some folks in here are fast as hell. :shock:

I agree, I'm very impressed.
On a side note, I really wish I could be in the shape I was early last year again :cry:. I'm not out of shape by any means, but I'm just not in as good shape as I used to be.
By foot - 7 minutes
By boat - 2 minutes
By car - 33 seconds
By plane - 6 seconds(I think)

That would have to be a really fast car lol.
I ran a 4 minute 40 second mile my senior year in high school. Well, it was the 1600m race which we called the mile. Can't come close to that now, but I run longer distances.
I never did one mile. It's always been a mile and a half.My best time in that is around 10 minutes. Not the best time*. But, I can play 90 minutes of fast attacking soccer. Since I was always fullback or sweeper, I did a lot of running chasing after wily strikers. That meant I was also pretty good at sprints.
*Plus, the mile and a half is just a warm up run anyway.
That sounds pretty quick from what I remember. Is that fast enough for the National level, or just the state level?I ran a 4 minute 40 second mile my senior year in high school. Well, it was the 1600m race which we called the mile. Can't come close to that now, but I run longer distances.

So what, everyone on this forum is a track athlete or something? You guys are posting times that I remember the fastest person getting close to.

I am not fast...at all
I just have really good endurance (run sprints 5 days a week)
I also am not a speed runner by any means. I am way more into distance. I think the fastest I ever ran was a 10 minute mile and it nearly gave me a heart attack. I have rather short legs so it take alot more to try to go fast. Distance to me is everything. I would do a nice 5 or 7 miler anyday! :)
I'm not really sure if I could do a mile on a regular track in under 5 minutes. I know it's a lot easier but I run a 5-minute mile on the treadmill every few days.
I never really do 1 mile. A 5km (3.1mi) run for me takes about 18 min, so it probably takes me around 6 min for 1 mile.

That's only State Level. Anyways.
Here are my times (I go into detail :P)
Finally! A Thread about Running Times! :D
Lets see, I can run the mile in about 5 minutes usually. (I run track and cross country :))
I run the 800 (half mile) in about 1:57 seconds.
I run the 400 in 56 seconds.
I don't run the 2 Mile.
My fastest 5k (3.2 Miles) time is 20:20. But this season I'm getting it down to at least 19:00.
I know you only asked for mile times, but I love running. :) My friend, he is even faster than me... He runs the Mile in under 5 minutes, the 2 mile in under 11:30, and a 5k in about 16 minutes...
4:30 soph year of high school, was state champion for my group ( small private schools ). that was a long time ago.. i have no idea what i could pull of these days..
5:09. I was terribly disappointed with myself last year (sophomore high school). I hardly improved at all from my freshmen times. Though, I had an inflamed growth plate in my left knee that seriously impeded my running for a good amount of time.
As cross country practice has been going all summer, and I've been doing significantly better, I could probably, probably break 5:00 now. However, since it is cross country and not track, I don't have the opportunity to find out.
