How long does it take you to jog/run a mile?

I can jog a 11.5 min mile... but at that speed, it is ONLY 1 mile! LOL. I average out between a walk jog to be at a 13 min mile for 2-3 miles

Congrats on your time improvement!

I cant run but I walked 1.26 miles at 22 min. it used to take me 35 to 40 min. I do over 4 miles in 1 hour. :drinker:

I run 7 minute miles( I usually run 5m a day) but since I had my surgery a month ago it is probably going to take a while to work back up to that. i will not be cleared to go back to the gym for 3 more weeks. So I am anciously waiting. I miss it soooooooo much.:frown:

My fastest EVER was in Senior year in highschool, that was 4:40 (and I have no dilusions about ever hitting that again, I was a track athlete in high school), but I have been training again for about 10 months and am back down to a 6:30 mile if I do 1 mile, a 6:50 mile if I do a 5K and about a 7:20 mile if I do 5 miles or more. I'm looking to get my mile time below 6:00 by end of year, and my 5K mile down to about 6:30 if I can.

But REMEMBER folks, it's not about the time (unless you are racing, then it IS about the time), it's about the calorie burn and that means it's about the heart rate. Get your heart rate up in the mid 60s to mid 70s percentage wise and you are in a GREAT fat burning area. If you can get it up in the low 80s and still feel like you can sustain, even better, but not required to burn lots of fat (although this WILL force your body to rapidly become more "running" fit, it's a lot more stressful on the body and may be harmful if you don't do it the right way or with some professional supervision)

Mine varies depending on how much energy I have usually about 8:00-11:30 minute mile (but that is speed....)

Well, I hate running. But I have been forcing myself to jog around the block once a week or so (about 0.7 miles according to Google Maps), which takes me about 8-8.5 minutes. Last week, I managed to go twice around the block without stopping, which took me about 17 minutes. So that's about a 12:10 mile. I kept having to slow down to keep my heart rate under 170-175. (!) I did notice that last week my heart rate stayed lower for longer while jogging than the previous time doing only one lap, so I think I am improving.

The best shape I was ever in was when I did gym class over the summer between my sophomore and junior year (I took it over the summer so I could take other classes during the year). It was 5 days/week and we ran a mile every day - actually, we might have run one mile at the beginning and one mile at the end of every class. And the fastest I ever managed - after 8 weeks or so of this - was around 8:30. So I have no illusions that I will ever get less than that. My resting heart rate is really low (under 60), but when I run it jumps right up to the 160s so there is really no way that I can go much faster at this point. If I can get to 10:00 at some point that would be awesome - there is a 5K in late May that I may try and do.

At the moment, I'm running tens. In the last year, I've been as low as 8:30 ish.

I am not running or jogging yet, but when I walk to work (1.4 miles) I get there in 30 minutes.

I only walk little over 3 miles per hour but it is at 15% inclination (from start to finish). Burns around 300 cals.

I CAN go as fast as 8:30 mile, but I like to pace myself at 10 min miles.
Otherwise, I can't go farther than the first mile.
I try to put in 3-3.5 miles when I run.

i run about 7 minute miles for just one; closer to 8-8:30 when i run 3 or more.

You made me curious about it, I 've tryed it today:
Walked at 4.0 m/h 1-st mile 14 min, 2-nd 15 min =117 cals.

I usually run about 10 min miles....if I'm pushing my 48 lb son in his jogger that could slow up a bit....if I'm alone it could be faster....more like 9....and it depends on the weather....I'm comfy at 10-11 right now when Im pushing him.

I feel like when I do speed up my time, 8 min miles....I feel it in my knees more....when I stick at a pace like 10 min miles I feel much better and feel the burn better.....

I've run as fast at 6.5 min miles in races back in the day.....I don't think I'll ever see that again...nor do I want too....well at this point anyway LOL

hugs and Lina I think you're doing amazing girl!!!
WE ALL ARE!
Ali :drinker:

Hmmm....

Just racing a mile? Could probably do a 6 minute mile (but that'd be it for the rest of the day :embarassed: )

When I run track/speed work I'm looking at 7.35 pace.

Long runs I aim for 9.30 for 8 miles plus.

Quick three miler at lunch, 9.00 minute miles.

(And then there's weekends like this one when I didn't even get out the door to run :yawn: )
