Try a quarter mile.

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

I can easily do a mile in 20 seconds, just give me a running start

 

[puffff]

i think i need about 20 minutes.

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.

The mile is generally considered a sprint.
6-8 minutes is a pretty good target range to get into.

Maybe WALK

180MPH?!?!

lol 0-180 instananeously!

 

[b0mbrman]

5:21 once after basic training

But I've been training for a marathon for the past few months so now I'm slow and broken....Maybe...6:30 or so

It was mandatory back in high school PE. I ran it in about 6 and a half minutes... 6:34 I think. I had made a bet prior with a friend on who could run it the fastest. We ran at the same time and I won by 2 seconds.

 

[redly]

once upon a time, ~6 min

I'd hate to know what it is now

 

[canadageek]

my best was 6:14, but our mile run at school was uphill, downhill, and over the occasional soft patch

 

[notfred]

Fastest I ever remember doing it in was 6:13. I can probably do it in 2:15 on my bike.

 

[jagec]

my fastest timed mile was back in high school, and it was around the 7 minute mark. HOWEVER, this was at 9000 feet above sea level, and our track had right-angle corners which SUCKED.

like most others that have posted, im around the average at 7 minutes when i was in shape and i dont run anymore. if i tried, id probably be in the 8 range to 9 maybe even. i never was a runner. but i think i might even be faster getting into 6 range because im a very avid biker now.

 

[pkananen]

well, in cross country races, my 2 mile split was sometimes around 10:30, so that is 5:15 each. Take away the hills and the 2 miles I was running after that 5:15, somewhere around a 4:45 ish

 

[IEC]

4 minutes. Down a hill

 

[BurnItDwn]

probably about 1/2 of an hour.

 

[ucdbiendog]

my peak was around 6 flat. havent done it in a long time, but im guessing aobut 7.5-8. im a better sprinter

 

[sparkyclarky]

Fastest was a 5:29 back in HS. Now I'd be significantly more than that.

 

[PizzaDude]

5:50

 

[iwantanewcomputer]

4:51 in HS track, and i was the slow kid in my grade(we had a couple kids under 4:20 my senior year)

 

[Corporate Thug]

6:45

 

[Bateluer]

Well, my record for 1.5mi is 10:10. Haven't run just a mile in a long time.

 

[Mo0o]

I'm guessing 8-9

 

[thirtythree]

About 9. Used to be between 6 and 7, or so I hear.

 

[PricklyPete]

I can run a mile in 5 minutes. I average 8 minute miles when I run half marathons and I have managed averaging just over 9 minute miles when running a marathon.

Nah, the mile is considered mid-distance, along with the 800. 400 and below are sprints; the mile is definitely more of an aerobic run than a sprint.

As for me, my best was 5:07 in high school; my goal for this year is 4:50.
