How fast can you run a mile?

[Anonymous]

Just wondering. I hardcore suxors at running. I did a 7:48 mile today. O_O

And does anyone actually like running? I prefer to do it on a treadmill or use an elliptical to get my cardio in.

Well, I run 11:30-12:00 on 3000m. So that's about 6 minutes on 1 mile. When racing Marines we'd do 2 miles or about 3220 m, so I haven't actually done a single mile race, but I would push myself harder than when going twice the distance, so I could manage much less than 6 minutes on it.

Also, I prefer terrain running, like plane woods or hill scape. But in a cinch, the treadmill will have to do.

I run/jog all the time but I never time myself. I know that when I was in the Air Force at age 25 I ran 1.5 miles in 9:30, and I know that I definitely seem slower than that now but I can still sprint fast enough to damn near out-run my dog (he goes with me on every run).

I can't remember the last time I ran that far.. hah. I hate running! When I do go to the gym, I prefer the elliptical because it's nicer to your joints. But I don't have much endurance at all. I don't get very far without someone like a trainer to yell at me.

The only time I've ever timed myself was when I was 11 years old and at summer camp. 12 minutes, haha.

I can't stand running. Or exercise in general... I just do yoga and crunches.

I haven't ran the mile lately, but I did run a 5k yesterday with a time of 23:something. At the 2-mile mark I had a time in the 15 minute range, so I would like to guess I would run around a 7:10 mile. I do actually enjoy running, but I'm not that good at it.

I have yet to time myself running. I absolutely can't stand running but I feel incredibly amazing when I'm done. I actually don't like the treadmill but elliptical is bearable for me. I like being on the move and observing my surroundings while running it is pretty much the only thing that keeps my mind off my legs burning and my heart thumping out of my chest.

Yes, I like running outside. Nice scenery, breeze, pounding on pavement and all that.

...what is a good mile running time for ya?

[Asker]

It's not good, but 7:48 is all I can muster.

[Opinion Owner]

uh...yes I see why that time isn't good at all. :/. Well improvement comes with time. Keep at it dood!

Back in high school my fastest mile (single mile) was a 6:55. But we mostly ran more than just a mile, so my quickest mile for longer distances was like mid 7 minute miles.

[MyNameIsJonas]

My personal best is Just above 5 minutes. That was back when I was 18 in HS.

[Voltaire]

I run a 6:55ish mile. It's not great, but I'm a sprinter, so it's no big deal.

[EngineeringStudent]

I think around 6:50. It's been a while since I've done it.

[palek]

It depends on my mood, and what I had for lunch. I usually try to allow 20 to 30 minutes.

[OneLove404]

9:34 and I don't care but I like using an elipical, treadmeal.

[Corrupt_Others]

I scored around that in HS, but I don't run for fun. I do pilates and swim.

[SnackG]

I can't run/jog it. I can walk a mile in about 30-40. That's a slow leisurely pace though. Never tried speed walking.

[sweet_18]

I can run like an 8 minute mile. And no I don't like running. Its real boring

[23hopefull]

currently about 14 minutes lol when I was in the army 6 flat.

[martyfellow]

I can do 5 minutes a mile for about 6 miles.

[xperience]
