How fast can you run a mile?

Jesse, I think you're doing fine, honestly. You probably run a mile faster than you think.

Treadmills are not completely accurate.

Say you set the speed to 6mph. You would assume that would equal a mile in 10 minutes... not the case. It would be more like 8-9 minutes. I would say take off 1.5 mins of whatever you run for a more accurate reading. You're never going to run exactly 6mph. As long as you're towards the head of the treadmill, you're going faster than whatever speed you've set it on.

 

Keep working on it Jesse. I've lost 30+ lbs. since February. Mainly by cutting out Coke's, limiting snacking, lifting weights, spinning classes, elliptical machines, and the occasional treadmill. I couldn't tell you how long it takes me to run a mile. Anything over 200m makes me go insane. But, set a goal for yourself and it makes it much easier.

 

I can't wear Mizuno just because there's no cushion in the fore-foot. I'm a lightweight, so I need all the cush possible or it feels like I'm running barefoot on concrete.

 

What's this mile stuff?

 

I can run a mile in about 9 minutes wearing moon shoes and if I wear my Chris Johnson jersey while I do it I can do it in about 5 minutes

 

1.6 km

 

:wink2:

ahh the real unit of measurement.

 

We're apparently too cool for what the rest of the world uses. Not surprising.


and your toilet flushes the wrong direction, too.

 

are they like this one???
