1 Mile Running Times...

[amaank]

Fastest was 6:50 back in 2006.

[Danny Gunz]

I havent timed it in a while but i usually run 3 or 4 miles and average 8:30

I think i could get a mile time at 6 minutes or less maybe

[John125]

I havent run a mile in a long time but i would probably do it in about 6 minutes maybe a little under. I run 5 miles every other day in about 40-45 minutes. Fastest mile was 5:34 about 3 years back, kinda abandonded the run after that. not realy i just had my eye on that smiley for a while loll

[keepthemhandsup]

i can do mines in about 5-6 mintunes if im really pushing it.

it's funny...i remember when i was about 220 and i couldn't do a damn mile for ****....now that mile is like walking through the park

[Undefeated]

I did 1 mile in 6 mins 57 secs today..

I know I could probably do it in under 6 if I ran harder.. I'm used to running in the evening.. Today was the morning.. Im going to run again tomorrow.. Im going to see what my time is then.

Hi Folks, I tend to run longer distances ( 4.5 miles -half marathon ) so the mile isn't really my race. I run on a measured road section around the local sports centre. I would be faster on a proper flat running track than on gravel (for these figures) but here are a few of the times I am trying to beat in laps on the same section:

0.5 mile: 2:29
1 mile: 5:35 (funny that! Being 1 second off the thread starter.)
2 miles: 12:13
4.5 miles: 28:57
10K (6.25 miles): 40:33
9 miles: 61:18

The best local runners do beat these times by a fair margin. The first barrier seems to be to crack the seven minute a mile mark as a comfortable running pace for several miles. I'm trying my best to get it closer and closer towards the 6 minute mile average, although I haven't managed 2 miles in this time yet!

Ok so a lot of useful replies so far. I think what i'm gonna do is record my times and post them up here to show any improvements.

Keep the times coming... if anyone wants to post up original times and then update them when they go faster feel free.

Junior G are you the boxer in your signature .gif?

nah that's Guillermo Rigondeaux.

Man thats realy fast imo, the local runners probably dont box

[Sugarj]

Thanks for the compliment John, the local runners dont box, you're right. But the best can run 10k (6.25 miles) 4-5 minutes faster and some can get nine miles well under the hour, they'd decimate me!

I dont know any that can beat me in an arm wrestle though, they're pretty skinny!!! Hee hee

Hey, Junior. Good to see you. So to speak.

5:54 and 5:59 the last two times I timed myself. I haven't been doing much speedwork in my running the past year; rather, I've been working on efficiency and technique -- relaxing, breathing, working the hinge principle with the knees, proper posture, consistent mid-foot strike, etc. (hell, I even read Runner's World) -- as I've been running 5 and 10K's. My last 10K (6.2 miles) was 57:34, and that was with some gentle hills. I run like a truck but I'm getting better.

I should note that the easiest fight I've ever had was at Middleweight, and I was running a 5:15 mile right before. Man, I was FIT. I was barely breathing hard. I need to drop 10-15 lbs. and get back to a quick mile and smaller opponents.
