    I went from a 11:25 mile to a 7:26 for a 10k & most recently a 7:50 for a half marathon - in less than a year! :smile: :smile: :smile:

    On the treadmill I do a 10 min mile, depending on my mood I may even do a 12 min mile. I seem to run faster outside, I don't know why. I didn't run for at least 11 years after I had kids. I had to take baby steps to get back into it. I started running at 4.5 on the treadmill which I think is almost a 15 min mile. I had a lot of luck with couch 2 5k apps. Good luck! Everyone is different :)

    I've seen that episode, I was pretty amazed since it seemed like she never worked out hard before in her life. Very positive attitude. When I started the last week of October I could run/walk a mile at a very painful 10:30, now I can run a mile in about 6:45, maybe 6:30, but I would be worthless to run anymore after that. I can do 5 miles at a 8:00 pace.

    I've seen that episode too...when I started running, my one mile run was actually a 16:30 (talk about me being out of shape - this was in July 2010)...but, I stuck with it and now I've completed 4 half marathon's, a marathon relay, and my current 1 mile run time is 8:45 pace with my average pace for my last half marathon at 12:40 pace. I've come a long way!!!

    Not sure. I normally run 3-5 miles at a time with a pace aroun 9:30 or 10:00. If I was only going one, I think I could probably do it in 7:30 or 8:00.

    Exactly the same for me!

    My fastest time was about 9:30 for one mile...
    I've never been particularly fast when it comes to running...
    .I average approximately 12-13 min/miles in half marathons....
    One of my goals for next year is to be able to average 10 min miles for the next half marathon I run

    I tend to always do 4 1/2 miles at the very least, usually 5-6+, and I run them at a 7:30-8 min per mile pace. I know I've done miles faster than that, but unless you're running a race, it seems crazy! haha

    Thanks guys for your input I seriously think I'll be struggling like the girl in the show I always get a headache when I attempt to run Like I said after about 1 minute *literally 1 minute* I'm back to walking I'm gonna push myself and we'll see what happens I'll update you all on my time regardless of if its horrible or not :)

    Baby steps... don't feel bad. I've been "running" for over a year now and I'm not to a 10 minute mile yet. I'm still doing run/walk interval training. My absolute best was a 12:36 but my "normal" mile time for my training is a 13:20. But I am training for my first half marathon and so I am training for distance, not speed. I'm increasing my distance but staying slow. Up to 4 miles now in a little under an hour.

    I agree, take it slow and shoot for being able to increase your runs if you are trying to become a runner. I started out 9 months ago and I am just now averaging 10:40. I started out doing the run walk intervals and consistency will really help you to improve your distance and your pace.

    I started running in March and it used to be around 10 minutes. I had a PAT a few months ago and ran it in under 6:30

    I have to say, these posts are great encouragement for me!! I only started exercising on a treadmill about 3 months ago. I weighted in at 226 pounds. My first time that I was able to make it a whole mile, I did it in 20 minutes. And I couldn't even think about jogging! Now I am down to getting a mile in at 15 miniutes and have lost 30 pounds! Not a speed record by any means compared to all you guys but its a start!! I am able to do 3 miles in 45 minutes! I am only 5'2 and my short fat legs can't walk as fast as others so 4mph is hauling butt to me!!

    Mine is 10-12 min depending on my energy level and the weather. If it is rainy/cold I am slower, if it is nice out I seem to have more energy and run faster.

    Timed myself this morning: One mile in 7:16. :smile: I'm sure it would have been better if it were warmer and less windy, but I'm very happy with that!

    Mine is 9 minutes flat. I like to try for new PR's for the 1 mile, but prefer to just try to increase my distance rather than speed

    ^^^^^. This is my philosophy ^^^^^

    I want to go for distance rather than pace. My goal is continuous uninterrupted running as I have signed up for a Marathon in April 2012.. Can do around 1.5 miles without stopping, then I need to stop for 30 seconds and start again. My furthest distance doing this is 4.5 miles. My pace is a mile in 9 min 30 sec, around 6.5 mph. Currently I am struggling with a calf injury so I am off-the-horse at the moment... Back to cycling and swimming to keep in shape. I used to hate running but now I found it strangely addictive in kinda 'I like pain way'.

    It's been interesting to reads other people comments... We all do things for a wide variety of reasons and have different goals, the key thing is change an improvement, we cannot measure ourselves against others, cos we are all so different and have so many different starting places, opertunities and resources. But I do believe that with commitment and realistic challenges we can all grow and improve.

    Wow. I am envious of those of you who are doing a mile in under 10 minutes. I started Couch to 5K back in July. I've NEVER ran before. Its a great program and I'm running for an hour now, about 4 miles. It takes me at least 13 minutes to do a mile. But I'm not giving up and I'm still running. I probably won't ever get much faster but I won't give up either. You can just call me turtle. LOL
