Walsingham Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 The fastest I ever ran was being chased by a bunch of drunk girls on a hen night party. I was already at what I thought was top speed when I rounded a corner and saw them. I thought I would be OK just dodging through them, but they pulled out these huge rubber mallets, dropped their shoes and sprinted after me. It was like being at school again, and I ran like the wind for a good 3rd of a mile with them in hot pursuit. At the moment I probably run a mile in about eight or nine minutes. BUt I don't run on the flat, because there isn't any where I am. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe.

Guard Dog Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 When I was in the Marines I could usually do it in 6 min or a little less. On my PFTs I was always around 18 min for the 3 mile run. I once got a 300 PFT after drinking all night the night before. I was VERY proud of that. Now? I could run a mile. Maybe.

Gfted1 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I dont run very fast. When I used to work out part of the routine was a treadmill that I ran on for 20 minutes, at the end of which would display 2.2 miles. So, I guess I run 1.1 miles in 10 minutes.

Tale Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 They say world record, but did anyone actual do that or are they just using models and equations? World records are all just a bunch of conjecture I hope you're just joking. A record, of any kind, has to actually occur. Models, equations, and conjectures are called models, equations, and conjectures. A record is an instance that has been recorded, not a theory.

Musopticon? Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Ease up, Tale. I ran around 5 kilometres in half an hour, so that would probably translate as 6 minutes/km and about 8 minutes/mile. That said, I my top speed is pretty fast and I could most likely do it in 7 or six and a half. Hav'ta try next time I run. Been going at good speed three times a week for 40 min for two months now and I'm seeing and especially feeling the results. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Darth Drabek Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I'm guessing about 8 minutes. Which is fairly sad, considering that's about what the track stars were clocked at for two miles back in high school (IIRC). I ran track for two years back in junior high, before. I never liked it much. I ran the 200, 400 and threw the shot put. For comparison, the mile is a 1600. Once I got to high school and had to make a choice between baseball or track, I'd run my last lap. Running around the bases was a lot more fun than running around a track (and a lot shorter, too). baby, take off your beret everyone's a critic and most people are DJs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosbjerg Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 The fastest I ever ran was being chased by a bunch of drunk girls on a hen night party.

BUt I don't run on the flat, because there isn't any where I am. rubber mallets? meh - mine had sharpened nails and a zealous devotion to defend their idols honour! on the other hand, your's did drop their shoes - which means they could run faster.. While the girls who chased me had tons of merchandise and autographs - ah okay, I'll grant you a draw.. Fortune favors the bald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laozi Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I'm not trying to be offensive, it's just I've never heard anyone ever claim that world records are theory before. So, I'm attempting to explain to him what one is. No, thats what I'm saying. World records are like saying this guy could probably eat the most hotdogs in the world, so what he eats is the world record, or that guy can really smoke cigarettes so how many he smokes in an hour would be the world record. All I'm purposing is that maybe like once every couple of years, or every year even, then get together the most likely candidates to set these records and make them compete to get them instead of just handing them out to the guy or girl who appears to be the most capable. Like if some one wanted the world record for acting, they could get together all the world's best actors and they could literally act it down to the last person, man that'd be cool. 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.

Like if some one wanted the world record for acting, they could get together all the world's best actors and they could literally act it down to the last person, man that'd be cool. That's a large part of what happens. World records aren't handed to the most "capable." They're not based on promise. Someone makes an accomplishment, then that is recorded and becomes the record. Then another person challenges the accomplishment, people come out to record it, if he beats the old record, he sets the new record. Sometimes this is done by contest like you describe, as well. In other words, world records are nothing like "saying this guy could probably eat the most hotdogs in the world." They're like saying this guy has eaten the most hotdogs ever recorded in the world. They don't pick record holders off promise, they pick them because of the achievement that itself sets the record.

Arkan Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I usually run a mile in about 7:30 when I'm on the treadmill. I'm sure I could probably get it to about 7 even without much trouble. "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 If only there was some sort of competition with athletes from all over the world. Then we'd really be able to call them world records.

theslug Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Way to ruin another thread, Guard Dog, or should I say Lard Dog. bwahahahahahhahahaha Ouch. Easily one of the best if not the best sick burn on these forums. That was very commendable. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
