<p>I figured that since it's spring, and since it's a nice outdoor running season, (and because I just clocked in a sick mile), let's all say our best running times.</p>
<p>I ran a mile in 6:03 this morning, and once I ran the two mile in 12:44.
Anyone?</p>
<p>6:00ish (a little over) on a treadmill, and 6:50 outside (during the summer, but my 'course' is hilly)</p>
<p>my best was a 5:45 back in soph year of HS...the good people on our team ran 4:40s...sheesh</p>
<p>Mine was 5:28 during a race (and I was racing my friend in addition to that) Haha. Motivation.</p>
<p>Yeah, about 1/3 of my CC team scores about 5-6. I usually get about 5:50-6:10. Our captain got 4:36-ish in one race. That was spectacular.</p>
<p>5:02 in indoors. I'm not that great at the mile though. Im better at the 800, but I only broke 2:10 today...</p>
<p>If you're running sub-2:10, there's no reason for you to not be in the 4:40 range, darkruler. Unless, of course, you're running 52.x for the 400 and you're more of a speed guy.</p>
<p>I don't think I've ever run a timed mile. In fact, I don't think I've ever run an open 400. Ahh, the joys of being a long jumper.</p>
<p>I do not understand this concept. What is this "running"? Outdoor? I am quite confused.</p>
<p>Oh, I just went running, and I got a 1:37 mile... But I'm not even at my peak, so I'm aiming for about a 5 second mile by the end of the season =D</p>
<p>While I did run on a state championship cross-country team back in high school, I am totally convinced that my fastest mile came about more recently, after I had begun showing signs of arthritis, and when I was carrying about 40 more pounds on my frame, a 26 pound pack on my back and a M16A2 in my hands. The funniest thing (in retrospect) was that I soon learned that the biggest danger I faced at that time was self-inflicted cardiac arrest.</p>
<p>I don't run track or cross country, but my fastest mile is around 6:30. I'm a tennis player.</p>
<p>I was in XC, quite slow though. My best open air mile was 6:00. Treadmill was 5:45.</p>
<p>Guy in my dorm in college ran a ~4:01 1600M. Yeah.</p>

When your life depends on it I'm sure you can get that extra "wind". ;)</p>
<p>What's nice is that you just have to think your life depends on it. And being a real fraidy-cat helps you find that "zone."</p>
<p>Last year my best mile time was 5:04. I'm a senior now so I think I'll be under 5 minutes pretty soon. For two miles, only 11:45 (what a boring event), and 11:15 for steeplechase, my favorite event.</p>
<p>Beat my time from yesterday by 25 seconds! 5:38!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Damn, what school, if you don't mind my asking?</p>
<p>I'm lucky enough to be in a conference where I got to see a couple sub-4:00 milers last year at the conference meet (err, sub 3:42 1500m runners) and it was just ridiculous watching how easy they make it look.</p>
<p>I'm running a 4:17 1600 and a 1:54 800m</p>
