edit: looks like I was beaten to the punch by eleventy billion people

double edit: My fastest mile was either a 5:27 or a 5:29 my sophomore year in HS - that was just a middling pace, but I stopped running track after that year so I dunno if I could have beaten it (perhaps not, as my top CC score was set in that year IIRC).

triple edit: I officially forgot how to use the damn edit button so somehow I quoted instead of editing....
 
does running on the treadmill and running on a track compare? i got around 13 min last week but that was on a 25 degree incline.

seriously, wtf is with these assumptions.

school activities = yearbook, newspaper, lit magazine, stage crew, peer-advisor stuff, and a few other random clubs.

community activities = church youth group, and volunteering at soup kitchens and food banks on the weekends.

That's just as bad. Yearbook? Newspaper? Lit magine? Stage Crew?

Seriously, that's AV crew land. I think Stage Crew might even be the AV crew in your school.

stage crew was awsome 😛 it was one of the only places within the confines of the school to interact with females under the age of 40, since our theater department was joined with our sister school's (male/female actors, and male/female stage crew members). it was the only after-school activity that wasn't a sausage fest 😀

Did you see that new grip on the stage crew? He's just dreamy... :heart:

Join the stage crew and meet girls.... Was that on the recruiting posters?

Somewhere around 4:45... but the mile sucked. Real men run the 400 & 800 🙂

Those were my events. I would hazard a guess that at 28 I could beat anyone here at 5 400's as long as there were 15 seconds recovery time between them and we only timed the last one. I was training heavily for rugby at that time and was the king of fast recovery between sprints. At 36, I probably have lost a few steps...
 
I think the best mile I ever did was 8:00. This would have been very recently. 8:00 doesn't sound so impressive to people running 5 minute miles, but back in high school I was barely able to run 1 lap without falling over.

no tradmills are much slower for any decent runner. the speed they give you is just for how fast the belt is moving. it assumes that you don't leave the ground when running. also it's not a fast surface to run on like a track is

Nonsense, good sir, 8 minutes is a very good time. Sure, it might not look like much next to a 5 minute mile, but compared to a 3:50 mile, 5 minutes is slow too 😛

Well My fastest mile is around 5.54 to 6.30 and can still do the low 6's to this day. As for you running 3.337 your full of it unless your in the GBWW because Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco holds the fastest mile at 3.43.13 set in rome, as well as the fastest indoor mile at 3.48.45 in belgium. I ran CC for 5 years and a CC runner is built for stamina not speed. CC runners are also larger fram on average compaired to spirnters and SD runners and thats where we get the stamina from. Go peddle your lies somewhere else 🙂
