Could you speed walk a mile in 10min??? Drunk Prop Bet.

[sc000t]

Ok heres the quick story.

Out drinking last night with a bunch of friends and its getting pretty late and somehow we start talking about how fast we could run a mile in. Yada yada yada...'I could walk a mile faster than that' yada yada yada 'I bet I could walk a mile in 10mins'. I stop him right there and call BS. We end up betting money and if he still remembers the bet, we're going to a track and I'm going to put him to the test.

Anyone think he can do it?


A few things:
My friend was in the army for 3 years but has been out for 2 years now and has been smoking and drinking not stop as hes now a college student with no job. He got out of the amry early because he blew out his knee, which he claims if healthy now but its still something to consider.

Also, I'm not sure what the exact rules for speed walking are but we're just going by one foot must always be on the ground at a time.

He needs to travel just under 9 feet per second on average to complete a mile in the 10 mins.
