I have no good PRs. I always overtrain and get slightly injured because I just hammer everything all the time. My two best friends for the last few years were both college runners; one is now a pro triathlete and the other is putting in 120mpw. So their secondary workout for a day would be my long run.

(My old roommate has run a 14:04 5K and a 1:06:59 half. He also ran sub-2:20 in his only marathon ever. That's fast, yo.)

wow. some of you guys have very impressive times.

i guess i never really went for speed and did it more for fun.

i started running and could only do like 5.5mi/hr for 10 minutes on a treadmill.

eventually i got to a steady pace of 6 miles in 45 minutes.

i once did a 6:30 mile just to see how fast i could do one mile.

however, i normally ran >30miles / week for a very very very long time. years. until my injury.

now i swim and haven't worked out a metric for that other than i swim till im exhausted.

the 4:30 mile person is amazing. that sickens me.

you guys are very impressive runnres and give me something ot work too. how long should it take me to get from a 6.20 minute to a 5 minute mile?

[/ QUOTE ]

a 5 minute mile is pretty goddamn fast for a noncompetitive runner. I'm not saying you can't get there, it just may be more of a long term goal. Of course you could have a ton of natural talent and go from 6:20 ---> 5:00 in a month... everyone is different. Setting goals when you have no idea what your potential is is hard.

I'd recommend smaller, shorter term goals. Maybe set a time trial date for 3 weeks from now with the goal being sub 6:00. The more you train and improve the better idea you'll have of what's realistic.

Which of these times do you feel proudest of?

I ask because they're all pretty f'ing sick!

[/ QUOTE ]

I would think the mile/1500 times are the best (only because this guy at my high school ran 4:02 for a mile and 1:52 for 800m and I think he focused more on the mile).

[/ QUOTE ]

4:02??? there are only a handfull of high schoolers ever to run that fast. since you're in chicago, i'm guessing Don Sage.

[/ QUOTE ]

I went to high school in Madison. Gabe Jennings was his name (graduated the year before I got there, so didn't technically go the school with him, but heard all about him). He went on to run at the 2000 olympics. Haven't heard much about him since.

im younger but know plenty of gabe who still has the wisconsin state record, went on to be an ncaa champ in the 1500m from stanford. Disappeared to africa for a couple years and just this year took 2nd in the 1500 in the u.s. outdoor champ i believe.

editted because after i reread i noticed i was the same age as you going to h.s. year after he graduated.

[Shajen]

mile: 4:15
3 miles: 16:00 (I think the exact was 16:02)
9 miles: 58 minutes

I did a 24 hour run, where you have a group of 10 people who run 1 mile consecutively for 24 hours. My first 20 miles were under 5 minutes, 45 seconds. Back in the day, I was a running bastard.

Now? Not so much. I could probably do a mile in around 6:45 or so. I haven't run in about 3 years though.
