Hmm? ;;;;o

Uphill?
---

24 hours

Used to take me about 7.5 minutes in high school. Probably take me about 9 minutes now.

6.5 minutes in high school. Now? Who cares?
---

I can run 2 in under 14, so definitely under 7.
---

Under 12 parsecs.
---

Downhill?
---

I can ride I can do cartwheels for a mile.

Takes me 15 to walk one so probably around 6 or 7.
---

10 mins
---

Last time I did, it was like 6 mins 45 seconds

---

Under 13

---

7ish minutes
---

I'd guess around 5:30 - 6:00.
---

I haven't been forced into trying since the late 80s. Off hand I'd say somewhere around 30 to 40 minutes.
---

4:45 is my best.
---

Can't run, I'm a gimp.
---

Now in my early 30's? Prob 10 minutes, during high school it was low 9.

12.5 minutes jogging. Never really tried to full on sprint

---

i guess about 9min. never timed myself really seriously.

just do what i can in under 1 hour cardio

---

I see
---

Pass

Did today's workout in an indoor track, fastest mile today was 4:48.

Edit: But now that I think about it, I can definitely go faster. The track was 200 m, 3 lanes, the corners were particularly rough and I had to slow myself down considerably to hit them. Gonna find a straight mile somewhere out there and report back. I know I can do a mile in under 4:30, maybe even right at 4:20. I was besting 4:50s - :40s in high school and I'm considerably better now.

This is very close to my times. Are you 5'11 also by any chance?
---

I'm right around the 10 minute mark.
---

Bout 8 minutes was my very best.

I was in 4th grade lol.

You aren't far from da record which is 3:43.13

Around 8mins these days. Don't need to run like I used to
---

3:43.12.
---

I can't run
---

I doubt I even can. I walk for exercise, and when I try to run, I'm lucky if I can go 300 feet before getting winded. Probably due to my valve stenosis.

Probably like 5 and a half minutes now. Used to run in hs and I still do now but I'm more focused on lifting than cardio.

I saw a ridiculous, almost instantaneous improvement in my running right around the time I started lifting. Jogging, not even running but JOGGING, I was averaging 8:40 and not even a week later I was hitting 7:50 with what felt like less effort. Don't give up just yet.
---

About 7:30min. My time to pass the 2mile PT test was like 16min so I set my pace for that.

Bro when you reach sub-5 minutes/mile you're pretty much splitting hairs because that's how negligible any sort of improvement will be. I doubt I'll even hit a sub-4 in the next two years.

Going from 10 to 9 to 8 to 7 to 6 minute miles is something that can be done in, I honestly believe, two years. Once you start hitting sub-5, you're doing months of training just to cut off a couple seconds. Improvements become less and less pronounced.

My personal best was 5.23 in outdoor track. Now probably much slower.

I got 4:50 once. I might hit 6 now but it'd kill me.

* I was far from being the best runner in track

I can't run a full mile. It takes me about 13 to 15 minutes to walk a mile iirc
