How long does it take you to run a mile?

[Anonymous]

fifty words here I come. Almost there. A little more there you go.

[AleDeEurope]

I don't know, perhaps 5 minutes, maybe 6. I remember in middle school I ran a little less than a mile (1500m) and I did it in around 6 minutes, but it was in middle school, now I'm 19, and I played soccer for 13 years, I was always the fastest in the team, and I have a lot of endurance (you certainly need it to last 90 minutes running up and down).
So my guess is around 5 minutes.

[Illusive_Man]

Haven't really run for a REALLY long time (cos it's boring a shit) but back in highschool I remember doing 8:50 ish . Them stick insects are way ahead of me lol

[Asker]

I think that's a pretty good record for Asians.

[Illusive_Man]

lol no , we have tons of stick insects in front of me doing 6 minute miles.
Also , seriously bruh? For Asians?

[Asker]

Chill bro. Asians are weak.

[Illusive_Man]

Well they ain't built like the blackies are that's for sure. Physically they trump everyone.

[Illusive_Man]

LOL , looking at all them running times.
According to the US Army fitness guide any time faster than the 6:30 mark will make someone if he is in the top 1 percent of the sun 30 age group lol

Didn't realize there were so many 1%ers out there.

[Illusive_Man]

6:30 mark will make someone the top 1 percent of the sub 30 age group lol
Damn brain farts.

[Asker]

Faster than 6:30 is top 1%? No way

[Illusive_Man]

Hell yeah.
Just did some research.

A woman running FASTER than that will pretty much put her in the nations if she's in the 6 minutes range.

[Illusive_Man]

nationals... shyeet, really can't type today.

[Ihav2fart]

ehh I don't have anything to prove its cool.

[Asker]

So my record is not horrible horrible? I run a mile in 8 minutes. 2 miles in 19 minutes.

[Illusive_Man]

It's better than the average citizen to say the least.
It's an okay time for someone who has trained for a while tho it's not going to win any awards lol
Most cardiovascular untrained people are in the 10-12 minutes range.

[Asker]

I am running on my own. I have no trainer and never learned about how to run properly or more effectively.

[Illusive_Man]

Why are you telling me this lol?

[DumpliingPrincess]

Back in high school my fastest time was 7 minutes.

Right now, I really couldn't tell you since I no longer run.

[Asker]

7 minutes is very good record. You beat me and some poor men down there :(

[DumpliingPrincess]

Lol I ran every single day back then. Once at school for PE and then again when I got home. Then in the mornings on the weekend. When I first started running I took like 11-12 minutes to finish but once I started running more often I got better. It took me 2 years to lower my mile time down to 7 minutes! And my 2 mile times back then were around 15 minutes.

[lanagirl]

It would take me about a minute to pass out and die.

[Asker]

Awwwwwww 911!!!

[lanagirl]

Hahaha in all seriousness... On the rare occasion I keep a jogging pace for that long.. It takes me like 10 minutes

[lynneishappi]

My daily run is about 3 miles and that takes me about 20-25 minutes?

[Asker]

Wow. I am so ashamed. I run 2 miles in 19 minutes lol

[lynneishappi]

Haha why ashamed? Everyone is different. plus I've been doing this exact daily route for almost a year. I go from my house to this one intersection with a cvs and a McDonalds and sonic and turn around and come back xP

[Asker]

I recently started running do you think I will get any better? I run 2 miles almost everyday. Did you run that fast even when you first started running?

[lynneishappi]

Nah when i started I was slow and chubby XD but I got better with time and now its just daily routine.

[1GuyOpinion]

No idea. Never really time myself. I'm guessing 10min.

[Asker]

When I made a mile in 10 minutes for the first time in my life. I was so proud and I thought that was fast before I researched online.

[peachblossomluck]

A lifetime, apparently. My asthma interferes.

[Asker]

Aww :(

[peachblossomluck]

I'm still strong. I can walk ten miles in a 24 hour period.

[Ihav2fart]

I haven't timed my mile run in ages, in high school it was a little over 7 minutes.

[Asker]

Man you are like top 0.1% among Asians.

[Ihav2fart]

O_O It was quite common in my highschool.

[Asker]

I mean you are likebelow 90% among Americans.

[Ihav2fart]

Story of my life

[Illusive_Man]

According to him "Asians are weak" so eh lol I suppose

[Asker]

I am Asian, too. We share the same blood. Our weakness is our unique chracteristic.

[Illusive_Man]

Here we go , the inferiority party is starting again.

[ihatethiswebsite]

I've hardly ran in years since I've had physical issues but I managed to run a 6:55 min mile last September

[Asker]

Even with physical issue you still run better than I do. Well last year when I first started running I ran a mile in 13 minutes now I run a mile in 8 minutes good improvement.

[ihatethiswebsite]

I can run fine but I just get a pretty bad headache afterward and my neck gets horribly tight afterwards. Hence why I don't run often but I'll try to get back into it and hopefully I can get used to it.

I've always been pretty good at running. In 5th grade I could run a 6:45 min mile

[PLLFan21]

I can run a mile in life 8 minutes. But, it's been a while.. sooo the time might have changed lol

[PLLFan21]

Like*

[musicbrain5]

6 minutes is my average.

[Asker]

Dammmmm you beat those poor men down there.

[musicbrain5]

I've been running regularly for 10 years.

[1GuyOpinion]

That cool, but do you even lift bro? :p

[cl_517]

a mile? about 6-7 minutes :)

[justbeinghonest]

About 10 minutes :(

[Asker]

I don't think that's too bad for a girl?

[Asker]

I mean I think it's a pretty decent record?

[justbeinghonest]

That's how long it took me last time I went with my dog. Before that it had been months probably before I had gone for a run. Fuck maybe I should come back to this question in a few weeks. I need to beat that 6 minute record the other GAGer has lol

[watashiwahanadesu]

i don't know lol

[Neko_Chan]

8-9 minutes.

[atomique]

About 6 minutes

[Asker]

Wow dude. Are you a robot?

[atomique]

Gym and running 2-3 times a week

[Asker]

I recently started running. and I cut 2 mIles in 20 minutes. I thought I was running well but after researching online my record is like dead bad.

[atomique]
