how fast can you run a mile?

[semicko82]

Anyone lowkey feel like it takes them longer to run a mile on a treadmill vs on a track/solid ground?

I struggle on the treadmill

8 40 is my fastest mile. That’s not bad for a guy who’s in his late 30s and just got off the couch a couple of years ago

I’m sure if I drop the alcohol I could do better

It does.

Outside regular jogging, I run 7.0 mph but only 6.2 to 6.5 on the treadmill.

Hard to explain. Treadmill is easier but feels harder when going faster...if that makes sense.

Bet. Few of my homies are in the Army and all have no issue running a sub 6. These dudes running 20+ miles with at a 7:00 pace lol. Y’all military folks built different.

Yea those with combat roles in the military have to hit a certain run time, so they’re not washed back from their job.
I knew guys who were dropped from being paratroopers because they couldn’t cut the physical requirements.

The last time I timed myself I ran three miles in 16 mins flat, so about 5 mins.

Actually, our (black) ancestors caught their food by distance running their prey until it died.

Link1: Humans hot, sweaty, natural-born runners

Link2: We Evolved to Run—But We're Doing It All Wrong



(Quote)"While animals get rid of excess heat by panting, they can’t pant when they gallop, Lieberman said. That means that to run a prey animal into the ground, ancient humans didn’t have to run further than the animal could trot and didn’t have to run faster than the animal could gallop." - Harvard Univ.








Gazelle/antelope/deer don't sweat like people do, so they cannot remove heat. Also, the Cradle of humanity is in EastAfrica and non-coincidentally thats where 90% of Earths distance runners are from. Don't cut yourself short, Breh. You dont gotta be fast as fck to catch a meal, just gotta run longer than it.





Distance running seems pretty usefull...

persistence hunters walked prey down

they weren't running like it was a race

endurance definitely matters though no fronting on that

But under 6 minutes last mile I ran in highschool 09

 

[Dirty Mcdrawz]

that was like 10+ years ago when I was in marine corps. When I first joined my time was 1830, 100 sit-ups, and 15 pull-ups. When I left my final off was 1600ish, 100 sit-ups, and 20 pull-ups.

In soccer we had to run 9min mile in a halfs. 6min mile pace.

I think my fastest time was 8min 10 seconds.

So i would say at my peak was around 5 and a half mins.

I cant do that now

 

[Smokin Rider]

I run 5 miles twice a week and usually takes me about 45 minutes. I don't know how fast I can run that first mile tho

4.58 in college. At 205lbs.

4.5 flat at 400lbs

 

[the cool]

If I’m running by myself for fun 10 mins. If some money is on the line 8 mins


I’m a lazy ass mf. I need motivation like a mug
