How fast can you run a mile?

[SuperFlex]

I wanted to start one of these threads...

12 min ..never really like running + asthma

 

[SuperFlex]

I don't even know what a good mile time is... I know the elite runners are around the 4 minute mark.

 

[GFR]

My best 2 mile run was 12 min at 230lbs

 

[nsimmons]

8 if i really bust my ass

 

[crazy_enough]

run 9-10 minute/ miles daily....3-5 miles on lunch hour

Dunno if its any good

 

[ponyboy]

If I'm on a track right now I can do a mile in about 5:30 but I'm puking by the end of it. I can sustain under 7 mins a mile for 6.2 miles (10k).

 

[MACCA]

I usually do 8 minute miles when doing 10k races but hopefully will better that as i have only done 2....

 

[JonnyStead]

About 9 and a quarter minutes per mile up to 3 miles (if it all goes well )

 

[Bakerboy]

I hate running.

 

[CowPimp]

When I was fatter and less active at about 13-14, I did an 8 minute mile. I imagine I can top that by at least a minute or two right now, maybe more.

 

[fufu]

During cross country season...6 minutes easy.

 

[fufu]

Well not easy actually.

 

[PWGriffin]

I don't run now, but when I did, 6 min. was my best. Beat everyone in my P.E. Class heh.

I currently pace myself at 9-10 minute miles. I'm certainly out of practice however... I'd like to get down to 7 minutes or less. Long way to go...but hopefully I'll get there.

 

[SuperFlex]

Do you guys/gals like to run outside or on a treadmill? I find it's more enjoyable and easier running outside... However, I do my running on a treadmill.

My only goal is to run over to your house.
