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.
Re: Fastest Mile Time
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.
Re: Fastest Mile Time
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?

Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
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.
Re: Fastest Mile Time
I'm no sprinter; my mile time is probably around six minutes. It's been so long since I've run just one mile.
Re: Fastest Mile Time
Hmm... depends, two miles in 10:00 is pretty common for me, I can probably do 1 mile in 4:45 or less.
Re: Fastest Mile Time
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....

Re: Fastest Mile Time
I once forgot i had to pick up my brother from school, ran the mile from our house to his school in about 10 minutes, while carrying a heavy backpack.
