how fast can you run a mile?

[ConPHIdential]

So it went from nobody runs 6 minute miles to you calling BS on even 7-8 minute times to now the 8 minute times are struggle times lol. This is me with no food in my system and no cardio since February in a hilly parking lot outside of a track, just rolled out of bed and found the nearest place to run to respond to the thread.

Under a different terrain and more ideal circumstances I'd easily take 20 seconds off of this time, and I'm not even a "runner". I'm sure there are guys that legitimately run on here that are running in sub 6, 6-6:30 range. In general its too much "I can't do something so that means yall cant do it either" coming out of coli posters.

I started with saying folks ain’t running 6 minute miles, which still nobody has posted. I also added I’m calling bullshyt on members even saying they can run 7 to 8 minute miles. I made the claim a FEW are...guess what homie..you are apart of the few. Congrats.


nikkas still ain’t running sub 6.

I think some cats are telling in here. hardly ANYONE can run a 5 minute mile. as you said that is 12mph on the treadmill and a VERY fast pace to maintain for that distance/time.

5:50 as a freshman...and i wasnt even nearly the best...

but i went to desertvista higschool in the early 2000's. school was athletic as fukk. 6A school

Unless you’re posting receipts with all these claims of running under a 6 minute mile I’m calling BS on everybody. I know we have some folks here who can, but I’m even calling bullshyt on these folks claiming 7-8 minute miles.

Go ahead and post a screenshot. Plenty of applications such as the Nike Running App you can do this.

My original post for you fukk nikkas who couldn’t read that I mentioned a few can run 7-8 minute miles. Y’all ain’t running under 6 though.

Sophomore year in Highschool.

Edit: I see some of you guys didnt actually run track at competitive schools or comps in HS. 4:29 is fast but if you are a state/region champion level runner, they will time in low 4:00s. I will speculate that my fastest time wouldve been maybe only a few seconds faster than my fastest timed mile. I just got too large a frame that was specific for collegiate football that I would have HAD to been slower.

exactly, if you were in sports...you'd be surprised how many athletic talents were out there. people think that impressive athletic feats always trnaslates to being a pro lol

Straight facts.

The average person can’t even run a 9 minute mile nowadays. The reality is most folks are out of shape, so if you are running anything under 8 minutes you are better off than most of the population from an athletic standpoint and should be proud of yourself.

nikkas in here claiming they just woke up and rolled out of bed running a 7 minute mile..nikka most people ain’t doing that. That shyt shows you’re in shape and that actually does take effort. nikkas be cappin on here.

Yep, most mufukkas simply don't have the lungs to run a mile under 8 minutes. It's not common at all. Those that can are avid runners. I've never ran a mile and had someone pass me from behind and I'm not under 8 minutes a mile so it's not even common among those that jog regularly.

Single Mile; Upper 6’s.
Average 5k+; Upper 7’s

Only way to improve running is to run.

Keep that 7 for the 5K

You dont give up I’ll give you that. Like I said, I haven’t done any sort of cardio in the last 5 months. Im not and never will be but that wasnt an “in shape” time either. To me that is regular shyt for anybody that is an athlete and not overweight.

I'm definitely not an avid runner at all. In fact I really dislike it. I did under 8 today.

But yes most people are out of shape but I don't think you have to be an avid runner to do under 8 minutes.

Anything better than average is advanced. No age group averages a mile in under 8 minutes.

I don’t dispute the numbers but I disagree that you have to be an "avid runner" to be under 8 minutes
