Any runners?...How fast can you run a mile ?

[Journeyman]

Odds the rx members have more than 5 people who can run a mile under 6:30

Yes +600
No -820

Give me the under for MAX. For sure many here are in decent shape, but a 6:30 mile is moving pretty quick.

 

[Fishhead]

YES for the limit

 

[LEYKIS101]

Fish,

Can you do a 6:30 mile?

 

[koolzie]

I can do a 6:30 mile but im also 19 years old, which is a rarity at therx

I need almost double that time to do a mile on the tread mill.. I have not tried it in a long time out in the open... Probably take me another 3 months to come anywhere near that time with these 220 lbs i have to mug around!!!

 

[Journeyman]

I probably could if I worked at it...it wasn't that difficult back in high school, even middle school....

I always think about running for distance but never last ...just not that interesting at this point in time...

every christmas morning on my local running track there is a charity mile challenge. Last christmas i hit it in 6:09 - not bad considering im 232 and 6'1.

I used to do A LOT of 5k's (3.1 miles). I would break 20 minutes, usually. If I was under a certain weight. That's about a 6:22 mile/average.

Right now, I can do ONE mile EASILY in 6:00. But, that is ONE mile. There is a HUGE difference in ONE mile vs. two mile, three miles, etc....

I ran 5 miles today in 36 minutes. That's about 7:12/mile. I'm getting older (35 in two weeks), but my pace is similar to what it was in my late 20's when I was doing 5k's competitively. I did few marathons in my early 30's and hope to do a few more. The 5k's are still fun, but it's not what I train for anymore. I train mostly to burn calories now. So, 5k's are not as good for me for "burning calories" (simply because I like to run longer than 20 minutes).

But, to the topic of this thread. I think A LOT more people can run a 6:30 mile if that is it. ONE mile is pretty easy. It's really a sprint if you think about it.

I've never broken 5 minutes. I came close. I did a 5:03 once. I am about 180 right now. I was about 158-160 back then. If I get under 175 now, my speed really picks up. I think this is the same for most people, regular runners or not.

Theres 2 many people in the RX community I'll have to say YES +600 myself included.

I can do a mile under 6:30.

 

[jwunderdog]

yes I can go under 6:30 for a mile, I am 41. So I would imagine over for the limit.

 

[KennyB]

Give me the OVER. I used to run track and cross country in high school and even though I am almost 39 I bet I can still do it. I still run 3 times a week.

 

[WorldNumberOne]

is that 6 hours and 30 minutes ?

i'm pretty sure i could make it by then...

[coconutman]
