    Depends on who is chasing me. If it's the cops I can run pretty fast.

    But have you tried running just a mile as quickly as you can? Just by coincidence I watched a film last night about some lad trying to run a 4 minute mile.

    How did he get on, just out of curiosity....

    I ran a mile for the first time since HS last night. 17 min. :(

    Don't feel bad! I've been working on mine for two months and JUST hit under 18 minutes. I use to be about 25 so its all about improving every time you do it. Keep up the good work!

    He did it.
    Nice to see this has been brought back to life.
    I'm doing C25K and my average is 10'33 but that still includes alternating between walking/jogging.

    I have a few goals in regards to running:
    Run a 10k
    Run 100m in 11 seconds.
    Run 1 mile in 6 minutes.

    Now I think my best is 9:36! In high school when I ran track, I was in the 6 minute range I believe if I can even remember lol...

    I adverage 11:30 - 12 min. per Mi. I'm trying to get back into it. I like this pace. I feel like its more enjoyable for me. But really its just what your personal preference is and what you want to accomplish.

    I generally run 9 minute miles. The shortest I ran I think was closer to the 8 minute mark.

    When I was in the Army 1984-1987, I was cranking out 6 minute miles. Now I am happy with 8!

    I've begun running as a hobby, but the longest it takes me is 16:30, the shortest for me was 14:30, and I pushed myself. :) I wish to get under 14:30 for a first time, and keep doing a mile in shorter time each time.

    I think warming up at home first, compared to warming up on a treadmill is more beneficial.

    My fastest is 10 minutes and I know this seems slow compared to some once upon a time i could not jog for one minute so to me this is pretty impressive so all you guys trying to get that mile quicker feel proud x

    All of you make me feel so bad. I am only doing 17:5. But I am doing a 4 mile run and not just one mile. I hope to work on my speed now that I have reached the 4 miles. One year ago I was doing 6 miles in one hour. This is my goal for now.
