i use to run the 200 & 400 in track at decent speeds but long distances kill me.

So I guess my time for a mile was around 8:45 or so.

Did you mean 1.5 miles?  If you run a half mile in 12:47, how are you able to run a full mile in 8:45?
I average 6:45-6:51 a mile, fastest mile was 6:22 or 6:26, its on my Nike+ record.  There was some fast people in that Nike+ thread/contest not too long ago, didn't realize how many people ran on here.  They should just keep that as a going log for an entire year.  Any So Cal NT'ers in that Nike Santa Monica run club?

ksteezy, can you explain why it's bad to run on the treadmill?  I run outside primarily because I feel the treadmill slows me down.

I can do it at 8 mins...getting back on the treadmill....be careful fams...treadmills can really mess those knees up if not done properly.


Funny that you state that, because I've been running on the treadmill heavy for the last year and a half or so - and my right knee has been bothersome lately. I dont know what it is; but right under my knee cap is sharp pain...it kinda got me shook.

Explain more Dr..

go to a specialized running store and get a gait analysis (usually free)
this will determine your pronation and how your feet strike when you run

from there, they will be able to recommend you specialized running shoes to compensate for any irregularities

i was training for my half marathon a year back, and my back started to hurt like crazy, and i thought i was just sleeping wrong, turns out my fallen arches caused me to overpronate, bought some brooks and running has been

 ever since

should probably stay away from nikes when it comes to running shoes

 

[la kb24]

in HS best was 725 i think


now 735 lol

trying to get under the 7 mark

 

[iheartboost]

4:30 - 4:45

I ran even faster in highscool, was all state, 2 gold medals in the 200, 400 and 4x400.

 

[Thats My Word]

Like 8 minutes.

 

[アミーゴ]

Ran a 4:42 my SR year.

Now prolly around 5:30-6.

 

[horchata kid]

I'm slow as hell during long distance runs, so 8-10 min.

 

[dman22193]

Last time was 5:42

Havent did cardio in a while so it's probably way slower now

 

[zapatohead408]

Good lookin, I'ma look into this..

 

[gameboi86]

I can barely run! I'll get about 5 minutes into a jog and I will start getting shin splints. NT help me out. I'm not in bad shape. 5'10, 204 pounds at about 12.5 percent bodyfat. It's weird though sometimes I'll play ball and they don't bother me at all, but 100 percent guaranteed I'll get em on a treadmill. I run in nike free 2's.

 

[gman1209]

In cross country, quickest mile I did was sub 6:00. On the track I've ran 5:15.

 

[luong1209]

Fastest in high school - 7:06

After blowing out my knee + post surgery - 9-10 minutes

...BEST post surgery was 8:15

 

[three6mafia]

In 04-05 I did in some where between 6:00-6:30. Now, more like 10:00+ lol I drink and smoke too much

 

[coolgraymemo]

During high school I never tried so I was always around 10-11 minutes.

Now, I do them in around 8 minutes on the treadmill.

 

[ham city]

There's a few too many former district champs in here.

Right now 6:30.

Got close to sub 6:00 many times in high school. Don't think I ever did though.
