How fast can you run a mile?

[AMCRambler]

For those of you who go to the gym and do treadmill work, or jog on a regular basis. How long does it take you to run a mile? Every now and then I get in the mood to do a little running on the treadmill we have and I was just curious to see how out of shape my a$$ is. Took me about 12 and 1/2 minutes tonight. Haven't been on the thing in a while though. Pretty crappy I'm guessing, but just wanted to see what you health nuts average.

 

[Frew]

~7-9 minutes.

 

[BannedTroll]

At one time about five minutes. Now....well we won't discuss that.

 

[SociallyChallenged]

Erm. I'm a sprinter in high school, and I suck at distance; but I run the mile in about 6 minutes. I've only ran under 6 twice - 5:47 and 5:58.

 

[SynthDude2001]

I can probably do it in under 20 seconds in my car.

 

[TechnoKid]

6-7.5 minutes.

I can do a 6 pretty easily.

Im hoping you were walking slowly on the treadmill and not jogging?

Does it count if I am in my computer chair the whole way?

 

[monzi]

I did it once in ten minutes, but I was dead after it.

no idea....haven't timed my mile in a long time.

 

[dudeman007]

Just about 6 minutes usually.

 

[Kelvrick]

at one time almost breaking into the 4 minutes. Now, I dunno.

 

[Scarpozzi]

The fastest I've ever run a mile that I know of is 5 min 50 seconds. Now, I'm out of shape. I can do a 7 minute mile pretty easily now, but I wouldn't be worth much after.

I used to know guys that can run the mile in 4 min 23 seconds.

 

[imported_waldo]

I run it in about 6 to 6:30, but i run them in blocks of 26!!

 

[mercanucaribe]

I can't run a mile but I can do it in about 3 minutes on my bike .

 

[GT1999]

I used to be able to run them in 5m55s but that was about 7 years ago. I'm working up to that again.

 

[quakefiend420]

i used to manage a 6 and a half min mile...now, i dont even want to think about it...probably 10-11 minutes...i smoke too much

Yeah, I realized just now I walked the first 2 1/2 minutes for kind of a warm up. So if I had actually run the whole time, it would have been faster. My treadmill's got a read out on how fast you're running and when I started jogging I put it up to 5.4 mph which wasn't exactly kicking my ass after 6 minutes so I bumped it up to 5.7mph. 10 minutes into though I was sucking some wind. I gotta get back into running on it every other day like I was doing. Damn all you skinny little high school track stars and your 6 minute miles!!!! I used to be in shape, then I got a girlfriend who isn't very sporty.

 

[Daishiki]

a hair under 6 back in the day.

Wooops.....Is it obvious that I need sleep?

 

[Ranger X]

Used to do it in 6 1/2 minutes. Now, I can probably do it in 9-10min.

 

[xSkyDrAx]

My fastest was a 5:47 but I felt like I could've went faster like 5:30 or so.

 

[XBoxLPU]

six hours
