Running the Mile

<p>Anyone that runs sub 4:30 could probably be an olympic athlete. </p>

<p>7 min mile. I am also considered “out of shape”.</p>

<p>^7 min.=/= out of shape IMO</p>

<p>I run like 7:15 in a cross-country race. I’ve never timed myself on a track</p>

<p>I think. And that’s my time from 10th grade. You guys don’t want to know what it is now. So bad.</p>

<p>Damn, this thread makes me ashamed to even mention my mile time.</p>

<p>Hmm… I haven’t run a mile since 3rd grade and don’t remember my time… But I was 5th in the class. I was 5th place at EVERYTHING in PE, and one of my best friends was always barely ahead of me in 4th…</p>

<p>Lately I’ve started taking hikes around my neighborhood, and pushing myself fairly hard it take me about 11 minutes to cover a mile. I’ll have to try and run sometime. I expect I could probably do it in 10.</p>

<p>As a freshman I was 6:05… damn I was fast, still playing baseball. Now I’d probably be like 8:30 -_-</p>

<p>What does “=/=” mean?</p>

<p>If we’re looking for any statistical significance, we should have split it into two charts for each sex.</p>

<p>5:45, but I’m a sprinter. Changed it to “4:00” instead of “<4:30” because it’s highly unlikely we have any sub 4:00 guys in here.</p>

<p>Haha under 4:30 is Olympic level… a 4:25 won’t even get you top 8 in my conference (5 team conference).</p>

<p>Where do you live?</p>

<p>My team only has like 3-5 people around 4:30, and I think? we placed well. And our conference is like 7 teams.</p>

<p>Our distance people and sprinters split up. We have like 40 distance people.</p>

<p>You can download (outdated) mile percentiles by searching presidential fitness challenge and downloading the spreadsheet.</p>

<p>=/= means not equal to. Like in math when the equal sign is slashed out, it means “not equal to”</p>

<p>4:29 at the 4xmile at Nike Outdoor Nationals last year…</p>

<p>but i’ve never finished a gym mile, i usually walked 3 laps and then stopped, i can’t get sweaty in school.</p>

<p>and running the 4xmile again saturday at NY relays (a really big meet where usain bolt first set his WR)</p>

<p>Longguylind, how do you practice if you dont get sweaty during school???</p>

<p>that’s after school</p>

<p>and i jsut lol’d at the person who said anyone under 430 could be in the olympics… if you runa 430 you wouldn’t even get all-division lol</p>

<p>EDIT: best open mile was 4:31 though, never broke 4:30 except on a relay…</p>
