Runners, what's your best mile time and how did you get there?

[ShepherdOfFire99]

Mine is 6:40 which I think is okay but I'm not a runner so it doesn't matter much! What's yours? How'd you get there? :3

[Leaflar]

I ran a 5:21 once. It was the first mile of a 5k so I definitely could have taken a few more seconds off if I had gone all-out for it.

I got there by doing cross-country in high school for 4 years. That's the only sport I actually did though, meaning I basically ran for 1/3 of the year and then took a 8 month break. So someone who ran seriously for 1 year straight could probably get there faster than I did. I lost a lot of progress to those breaks.

[ShepherdOfFire99]

Wow shit that's fast 👌

[Leaflar]

Eh... it's fast for the general population. It isn't really fast for a runner.

[ShepherdOfFire99]

I honestly don't know I'm not a runner haha. Seems quite fast to me though :p

Like 9:30 I think. Endurance is not my strongsuit, asthma and back problems make distance running difficult. Sprinting I can keep up to most people to about 100 yds but I get winded.

Like 8 minutes 😜 I puke when I try to sprint lol.

You can try intervals, leg exercises, improving your endurance. Sprinting shorter distances helps you train to build speed too

My best is 6:48 but I'm horrible at long distance, I'm a sprinter all the way haha.

I'm not much of a runner per se, outside of playing sports anyways. But 7:05 is my mile PR, nothing spectacular.

[ShepherdOfFire99]

Same haha. I'd rather be at the gym

[ConsultantIsBack]

Ummm we are now best friends <3!

[ShepherdOfFire99]

[ShepherdOfFire99]
