    I know there have to be some runners in here, what is your best time?
    Never run miles. Too short . My 6-mile time though is on 27 minutes - depending on the day it can be as much as 25 or a little as 35 - .

    Don't remember my best mile but my best two mile for the APFT was 13:30. Not bad for a half a pack a day.

    You run 6 miles in 27 minutes? Somehow I doubt that. That is average mile time of 4:30 a mile.

    I'm 15 and I can do a 5:37 mile. That is however a score I got when I had tendonitis (sp?) in my hip. Next year I'll do a lot better (assuming tendonitis will not be so bad).

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    3 miles up, 3 miles down. My measuring device was a car though. I.e. I've driven the distance to make sure its 6 miles. I don't know, maybe on foot I cut corners or something, but that is the time. Add half a mile another 5 minutes if you want. Or maybe I'm just very fit.

    If that is your real pace, you should be on the olympic team

    I don't have the frame to be a speed runner (averaging around 6 min. per mile) but my endurance 5 mi. is around 27 minutes.

    I can't say I've ever run faster than 7:05 for a mile. My 2 mile run is usually in the mid to high 1400s. Never been a fast runner though. I can run for fairly long distances and I can march all bloody day though with a pack and full kit.

    How long have you guys been training at running? I'd like to improve my times to at least the mid six minutes. Any good techniques besides just running and pushing yourself harder each time?

    Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

    I'm no sprinter; my mile time is probably around six minutes. It's been so long since I've run just one mile.

    Not really. Back in the day when I tried to join the army and trained really hard, the time I was aiming at for 1 km was 3:30. My pb was 3:10. Another minute and a half for the extra 5-600 m seems reasonable enough... The olympics run the km in under 2:30 so I'm still a whole 40 secs off... And I'm doing my absolute best here....

    Yeah.... Tried to join the officer academy. Passed the physical tests, passed the language tests, and then got drunk before the maths exam and failed....
