Eddo36 Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 7 minutes flat (8.5 on the thread mill for 7 min makes 1 mile)
Deraldin Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Not as fast as half the people who will post in this thread.
Tale Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 I'm dealing with the threat of shinsplints, so not very fast at the moment. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Hurlshort Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 6:04 was my fastest time, but I'm pretty sure I've dropped to 7:00 in the last year or so. Old age and stuff.
theslug Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 did 8 flat on a treadmill but I could of easily went a lot faster and probably shaved anywhere from 20 seconds off that. Course that was when I used to run on a somewhat regular basis. Now I'd be lucky with like 9. There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached.
Kor Qel Droma Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Kor don't run. I use elliptical trainers instead. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Laozi Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Well, I know I can run 40 yards in a shade under 4 1/2 seconds. Assuming that, you multiply that by 44 to get the necessary mile. Thats 198 seconds. So if someone had a calculator we could figure out how many minutes that would be. I'm thinking about 3 1/2 minutes, but I think I could get that down even further once I get my momentum going. Am I having to carry anything? What kind of shoes do I have on? People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.
Kor Qel Droma Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Am I having to carry anything? I'm thinking you should piggyback Hades, just to prove you're a manly man, you know. What kind of shoes do I have on? Since this is an Eddo thread, I'd bet he'd prefer if you wore stilletos. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.

Am I having to carry anything? What kind of shoes do I have on? You have to be able to maintain that. Taking your 40 yard dash time and merely multiplying to get a mile is assuming infinite endurance. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Laozi Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 You have to be able to maintain that. Taking your 40 yard dash time and merely multiplying to get a mile is assuming infinite endurance. I didn't assume infinte endurance, I said I thought I could get going faster once I got my momentum going, as it was I could only work with forty yards worth of momentum.

Wistrik Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 I used to run a half mile to school in five minutes as a wimpy kid (not very good imo, but coach wanted me to sign up for track anyway), but as an adult my bad knee prevents me from attempting anything beyond a short sprint.
theslug Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 The fastest mile is a little under 4 minutes so your 3 minutes and 18 seconds seems a little unrealistic. I'm not calling you a liar but I mean unless you've been doing wind sprints up mount Kenya and taking anabolic steroids since you were a fetus I kind of doubt you have that ability.

Kor Qel Droma Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Are you going to take that, Laozi? Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Laozi Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 He's talking to me? :ninja10: People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.
theslug Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Your damn right laozi is going to take that. Give me lip and you'll see a side of the slug that you'll forever regret. Stealing :cant's hard ass exterior but actually really sensitive on the inside smiley: There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time.

Kor Qel Droma Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 haha slug, you don't know laozi, that mofo is fast like teh wind!! Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Laozi Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 (edited) They say world record, but did anyone actual do that or are they just using models and equations?

julianw Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Only time I ever ran a mile is for a PE class in high school 6 or 7 years ago. I think I finished in about 9 minutes (I was walking half the time; I am more of an explosive slasher type and unlike Laozi I have trouble maintaining momentum.)
Laozi Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 (edited) You've got to lean forward when you run. Edited July 26, 2007 by Laozi People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.
Rosbjerg Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 I once ran away from a pack of starving teenagers, who had the idea that I was a boyband hater - this was true of course - but how they got this information is beyond me. I think I ran about a mile before loosing them - and while it certainly seemed like more than an eternity - I'm sure it was something like 5-6 minutes. I'm thinking of developing a workoutprogram based on the experience. Fortune favors the bald.
Deraldin Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Apparently the field that my high school used is about a mile away. We would be given 10 minutes to run there and I usually took about that long.
Meshugger Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 (edited) I've never tried a mile, but i did the 'Cooper test' when i was in the army, which means to run as fast as you can within 12 minutes. I did 2720 meters = about 1.69 american miles.

Guest The Architect Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 (edited) Hmm, interesting question. Next time I go for a run, I'll do it as fast as I can, time myself and see how I go. Sprinting is my forte, as opposed to long distance running, which I suck at. I jogged a 3km {1.9 mile} run in about 12 minutes, so if I sprint {problem is I'll run out of energy fast and consume time} I'd probably be looking at a time of about something between just over five minutes to five and a half minutes. Probably more, since I haven't been on a run for nearly two weeks. Edited July 26, 2007 by The Architect
Kaftan Barlast Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 I cant run a mile. We have the metric system DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner. If there is no clear indication, asume the post is written in jest. This notification is meant very seriously and its purpouse is to avoid misunderstandings and the consequences thereof. Furthermore; I can not be held accountable for anything I write on these forums since the idea of taking serious responsability for my unserious actions, is an oxymoron in itself. Important: as the following sentence contains many naughty words I warn you not to read it under any circumstances; botty, knickers, wee, erogenous zone, psychiatrist, clitoris, stockings, bosom, poetry reading, dentist, fellatio and the department of agriculture. "I suppose outright stupidity and complete lack of taste could also be considered points of view. "
