    I don't run just one mile but when I run 4.8 miles my time per mile is about 11:00

    7:05 is my PR

    work on distance before speed. Once you can run 3 miles in under 30 min, I'd say start working on speed.

    BTW, a 5 min mile is FAST! not many people can do that

    Well before I got stuck in a wheelchair for 6 months my PR was 8:45 and that was a while ago. Now I am probably 18 to 25 minutes.

    But as others have said you need to run further to build up your endurance. My PR of 8:45 was during a 5k run and it was my second mile. My total time was 27:03 so my other 2 miles were slower like 9:00.

    I only run if I'm being chased.

    I ran a 1/2 marathon at 7:30 pace and a full at 8:30 pace, but my fastest mile is a pathetic 5:38. Bleh

    A day... maybe a day and a half... but I'm getting better!
