When I run, I usually run for at least two to three miles at a time, so I'm usually pacing myself a little bit, but I average around 6 to 7 min miles. Sprints/jogging intervals, is one way to train your self to run faster.

At the moment, 8:34. My best is 5:27. All on treadmill.

when I run on the treadmill (and I DESPISE that), I can run 8 min miles pretty much the entire 5 miles because there's no wind, no inclines, and the ground moves under you, which makes it easier than running outside.

One mile Is a little over 2000 steps it all depends on how fast your running... if I'm jogging It will probably take me 5 mins

You know a 5 minute mile is 12 on the treadmill right? :mjlol:

the world record is 3:43 but you can jog a 5 minute mile...:usure:

on topic though I'm between 6-7 if I'm running. did a 1/2 marathon earlier this year and just missed under 2 hours. Like 9:39 per for 13.1 miles :ld:

I know some people that consistently run sub 8min. miles for like 5+ miles, but can't break 7min. PR for mile on a track.
All depends on if you're trying to specifically train for a mile run or bring your average time down.

I think some cats are telling :duck: 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.

In highschool the fastest I ran timed was 4:29 at 205lbs but I know I ran faster after untimed. I hadnt peaked in my training routine yet and was still bulking. I think the fastest I ever was, was freshman year college. My acl felt bulletproof, and my 40 was the fastest it had ever been at that point so I had to be a little quicker. Timed during my football workout. I used to run track too though so eh.

It'll probably take me at least 8 minutes to run a mile right now.. Probably closer to 9 really.... I've only ran a sub 7 mile maybe twice in my life... and that was in my teens and early 20s...

But fukk a mile.... What that 40 yard time or 100 time be? :sas1:

4.58 in college. At 205lbs.

I never run a single mile because it doesnt make me tired at all. I always do at least 5 miles. and I have a lingering bum hamstring still.

that being said, I can run 5-7 mile runs at a pace of about 8:40 per mile on a good day (not too windy or hot/humid outside or snow on the ground).

this is me yesterday:
