I've never been too fast because I got bad knees, but I just ran my best time for 3 miles which is 26 minutes and 34 seconds... To some I know its not that great but back in March 2013 it used to take me 45 minutes to run it.

I could probably get it down to 25:50. But right now I'm happy with 26:34 especially when I took a 4 day break from the gym.

How fast can you run 3 miles my fellow coli peeps?

I run 20 meters and walk for 5 meters and I think of each 25meters as a set because four 25 meters equals a mile. I know if I didn't walk those 5 meters I could probably get it down to 25:50. But right now I'm happy with 26:34 especially when I took a 4 day break from the gym. I guess I was just well rested.

I had just reached 27:20 time at the end of october..so it shows that you can easily pass that in due time.

I just recently started to take cardio seriously...Oct-Nov I was running 3 miles 6-7 days a week..missed probably 4 days of cardio out of 2 months...but its funny that I took 4 days off and made the best time so far, and I HATE taking days off

my best 5k is a little under 22 ... but now I run it in 24. I usually run four+ miles, so I can probably speed up the 8 minute pace if I'm running 3.

Haven't run 3 miles for time in awhile. I'm sure I'll do it again in the spring/summer.

I'm flabby and sick when it comes to long distance. But, I did run 3 miles on the treadmill at a 10 min/mile pace and then ramped up the speed near the end so I did 3 miles in 29 mins and 40 seconds.

Fastest ever was 19 and some change but that was when I wasn't smoking heavy and running almost everyday. Now I'm at about 24-26 min range. Depends on mood and my playlist
