People are criticizing you for saying you walk a 12 minute mile slowly. That's not feasible. I said this 3 times already.

ParanoidObsessive posted... 6 minute mile if you're in relatively good shape, and may be able to get close to a 4 minute mile if you're a really good runner (and presumably male). Hmm, I'm pretty sure you're underestimating the requirements for 6 and 4 minute miles. 6 minute miles are more than 'relatively good shape' -- and 4 minute miles are not just really good, that's elite status, to put it mildly. I was mostly going by memory from school (when I was on the track team, but not a miler - I was a sprinter). The 6 minute mile was relatively simple for most runners - even the sprinters, who focused on entirely different training - as long as they were in general running shape. I'd argue that almost anyone could easily get themselves to a 6 minute mile pace if they actually tried. It's less a question of intense training and more just a question of being in shape. The 4 minute mile is definitely race-pace (our school record for the mile was 4:10, world record is something like 3:45 or so), and it's not something you're going to hit without a ton of training to specifically run distance/mile races, but if you DO put in that training, "close to 4" is an attainable goal, especially for adult males. By "close" I didn't mean "4:01" or the like as much as I mean anything relatively close to 4:00, which could include anything up to 4:25 or so (which I view as closer to 4:00 than 5:00). If you're just doing general training, or specifically 5k/10k/marathon training then yes, close to 4 minutes might be a lot harder, but if you're specifically training for a fast mile, I feel like you could probably get within touching distance of it. I might agree that my use of "relatively good" and "really good" wasn't hyperbolic enough, though. They probably implied a bit more casual effort than I actually meant. I overall agree with your post here. I think the main reason your initial post came across as plainly "casual effort" was because you had was because it was viewed from a dedicated runner's perspective. For a person running as a miler, or doing track and field, doing a mile in 6 minutes is "relatively good", and running a 4:25 mile is "really good", and they are labeled those by you because it is drawing comparison to other runners who are passionate about it. If you compare it to the average person, then 6 minutes is fantastic and 4:25 is pants-creaming.

Krazy_Kirby posted... 15-20min to walk a mile? Yes. Believe it or not, that is the standard for walking one mile. weird. if i walk slowly it still only takes me 12min. You do realize a 12 minute mile is walking 5 MPH which is not walking slowly by any stretch of the imagination, right? Are you sure you know what a mile is? iv'e walked a 10min mile during high-school p.e. my fast walking is about as fast as those weirdoes who "powerwalk" Except, no you didn't. i started walking home from school in the 4th grade. walked home about 90% of the time 4th-12th. each school was over a mile to my house. i learned to walk faster so i would get home faster. (if its a route i know i can read and walk faster than some average speed that is slow because of the average fatness of people) my stride is quite long when i make full use of it. No one is questioning you (speed) walking a mile in 12 minutes. Its you saying that even when you walk slowly that it only amounts to 12 minutes that is the ignorant part. That is not feasible by any stretch of the imagination.

nobletype 07/13/17 2:46:15 AM #23	Flyingpirate posted... Thats it eh? 1 mile? In Canada thats considered a quick stop to the corner store or Tim Hortons. I guess America is more urban. I used to jog 8 miles to the gym through snow. 4 miles uphill to work. 4 Miles downhill nowadays. Going down hill is annoying, I should sled down or something. What part of Canada? That seems extremely spread out. I was in Toronto and it was nothing like that... granted it was Toronto.

I picked the one on the right but honestly both are very bland/boring It's for a job interview, no need to be so outlandish. Yeah, suits and ties are supposed to be kind of bland and boring. Well, personally I kind of like pinks and purples, which are more exciting, but my suit is grey so those fit a little better than with a blue suit. That does sound good, but maybe for an occasion that calls for such a thing. I'm not sure if a job interview is one such occasion.

nobletype 06/26/17 3:48:45 PM #5	DorkLink posted... The one on the left looks like a better match for the pants but I don't think you could really go wrong with either. The one on the right looks black in the first picture, so you might not want to wear it, but I don't know if it ever comes out looking like that in real life. What color is the shirt? It's a dark navy on the right, but I can see why it looks black in photos. It's more dark navy IRL. The shirt will be your typical white button down.

Lighter navy tie on the left Darker navy on the right View Results http://imgur.com/a/1n2g0 Slacks/suit color is in the middle. I need to choose between these two ties. The one on the right is dark navy, the one on the left is lighter navy. The lighter navy one matches with the suit color, the darker offers a contrast. Darker is matte, the lighter is not. I like both. Any thoughts?
