How fast can you run a mile?

[misterp0315]

Fastest around 4:15. I'm sure I can still dip under 5 easily.

i did about a 6 min mile in high school
no way i can do that now though 

 

[foolio]

i was a sprinter in hs but my best mile was like 5:45, i HATE longer distance running (a mile isn't too long but still) i get so bored. so i just decided i would shadow the fastest person in my class in order to get a good time. nowadays i could prob do it in the mid 6's i haven't ran competitively for a few yrs i still hit the treadmill tho

Depending on the terrain, running surface, weather conditions, and footwear...about a week.

Running in basketball shoes, boots, old sneakers etc are a fail before you even start. 

You started off well but even most of this site doesn't believe that Nike make the best running shoes - you're much better off with Asics or Brooks or something like that.

For real

 Nike track shoes are good, but the running/trail shoes are 

New Balance would also be good, more compact than Asics & Brooks.

Oh, yeah forgot about them - that's what I'm wearing right now and they're great.

Best I've ever ran was 6:15, that was last summer.

I generally hover around 9-10 min miles when running distance.
