Fastest mile times?

[Gilgamesh]

What are everyone's PR for mile times (or 1600 meters)? So far I stand at 5:29 and wish to have a sub 5 minute mile.

[rock_ten]

5.52

This was done with months of no cardio, and with about 50lbs bodyweight on top of my previous 143lbs/6ft state. I expect I could get to sub 5 minutes if I dropped some weight, but I don't intend to. Still, well under 5.30 should be possible.

I'm basically just running a mile or doing sprint intervals of various lengths. I only run 1-2 times per week since I started again, because I don't enjoy it.

Oh hey it's the monthly what's your mile time thread.

Im pretty sure Twist beats the shit out of everyone else here. Including me

Havent clocked a mile in about two years, so I bet mine's the worst here.

[rock_ten]

Impossible! No man will ever acheive that

[$hifty]

[hype]

you sure? i thought the mile world record is about 3:43

world record for 1500m is 3:38

[chicanerous]

world record for 1500m is 3:38
No. World record for 1500 m is 3:26.00.

(Word record for a mile is 3:43.13, like said.)

[Rahf]

Mile ~ 1600m

[Fanya]

1609.344

[lastmanstanding]

i was gonna post that 1 mile = 1609.34...... thanx for enlightening me with the millimetre value :)

My 1500 record was 7:08 when i was 12. Im sure i can beat 3 minutes on 800m now, so perhaps 6:30 - 7:00 mile time.

Yes im not a long distance runner.

[king91]

10 mins but i have asthma and i dont like to run long distance but i am really good at 100meter sprint i always win

[trickster914]

my friend is a freshman in highschool and he runs a 4:38 mile

[Rudy]

5:20 something

[AndyD11]

best time for a mile is 5 mins 29 that was last year when i was 15

making a thread about how fast you can run a mile, is like making a thread on the biggest fish you caught, without proof, it just makes me laugh, especially rock_ten's posts. "I did a 5:52 with a 50 lb weight vest after doing no cardio whatsover for months, and I deadlift 1200 lbs!"

[ShuFFs]

6:55

I fail

So you actually imagined the "weighted vest" part.

I'm flattered that you find my time so incredible, though.

[Syn]

I love monkeys, and besides, everyone knows that all of your posts are bullshit anyway

[flamingpope]

6:55

I fail

mines 6 min, 53 sec

use to run with my freind who did cross country- I now can probally do a 7 min something.

[Phil D]

i had an argument with my boss at work today, he rekons he could do it in under 5 mins, so we have a tenner bet on it. I came home today and decided to do it myself and i did it in 5.33 which im pretty pleased with seeing as im trying to bulk at the moment and iv slacked off running

[Fanya]

Just a note of interest, do you guys across the pond typically write out times with a period instead of a colon?

[rock_ten]

I've never seen there to be a convention one way or the other

[DeeJay]

Maybe I will record my mile for you guys on the 2 week break (if i can run that far).

lol i tend to do it with a . but im sure some people over here use a :

[Domenow?]

My mile sucks! its bout 6 mins but i like to sprint more ... sprinting or long distance?!

[DarthMora]

In high school I ran a 4:56, now 20 lbs heavier it is not so easy. Lifting is more fun anyways.

[NightHunter]

I'm seeing a lot of excuses. I run this but I was overweight. I haven't run in a while but it's this. It's this but I'm bulking. I could easily do better but I'm a sprinter.

Just tell the time and be done with it. If you're unhappy with the time, then change it(run faster not make it up), don't make excuses.

That being said, I did 6:50ish last time I was timed, but that was junior year when I was still out of shape. I haven't had a timed mile since then, but I'm sure I could do more...

If you're trying to be funny, you did a very good job of it.

[NightHunter]

Thank you good sir.

[flyboy]

My mile time fails, with a time at about 6:30. I don't run too often, and honestly, I fail at running. However, my swimming own.
