My gym teacher has us run the mile every week. My mile times have always been around the 8 minute mark. My fastest "8-minute time" was 8:15. Then it was winter break and now I run the mile in around 8:25... 10 seconds worse.

So how fast can you run the mile and how do you run?

When I run, I breathe through my nose and out my mouth. I also don't talk to people when I run. I feel like I'm losing oxygen when I talk while running. While my friend runs, she unconsciously clenches her teeth. After she finishes running the mile, she relaxes and her jaw and teeth start hurting. I tried getting her to stop, but she does it without knowing. X(

i've never been able to run long distance. i was the fastest sprinter on my soccer team, but the slowest long distance runner. i think my mile was like 8 minutes ): slow for a soccer player.

[Epitaph]

five minutes forty two seconds

[the last hour.]

When I had physical ed class, I usually ran my miles from 6-7 minutes. Depending on how hard I tried.

like 7:30 i sucked at the mile

[sillymeboy]

5:20 that was back when I was in 8th grade and on the track team. I was determine to beat some guy because or his arrogance. It was a one time dealllllllllll

7:30ish. Pretty average, I was like 5th to last in a class of 30. ;_;

EDIT: I meant by average overall, not in my class. xD My school in general is pretty fit. =|

7:30ish. Pretty average, I was like 5th to last in a class of 30. ;_;

um do you mean 15th?

A mile is like 1.6 km? I remember getting like 8 minutes... 4 years ago. It's definitely worse now.

[kishycathiee]

UHH, 6:45 was my average in middle school.

Now that I'm in badminton (and we run WAY more) I get 9 minute miles LOL. it's sad.

[moonk379]

if i tried, like really hard then it would be around 7:20 a mile but if i just jogged it normal then 8:20 or so.

[mroh]

im really surprised that it seems so many people can run under a 7 min mile. i consider that a somewhat difficult task, unless u are constantly active and do sports. i can prob. do a 7 flat mile now at the very best if i exerted myself, but to get under would require more training. and i remember another thread that talked about mile times i think, where it seemed like everyone thought anything above 7 min was very slow. i felt so lazy.

I can probably do it in like 6 and a half. I never timed myself, though.

[korkorok]

LOL Long back when I was in 6th grade we had to run a mile in the first semester and another in the 2nd semester.
I got 11 minutes on the first(sad) and 10 minutes on the second(still sad D:
After getting taller and losing weight, I run about 6 minute miles.

[flyxxaway]

Fastest I ever did was 6 minutes, but I used to walk the mile and got like 12 minutes lol. I hate running.

[iridescent]

I think something like 8:45 was my best time. I averaged around 10 minutes because my bff and I would walk most of it. "You want to start running when we reach that pole over there?" We usually ran only the bits when we'd be passing by a teacher, hoho.

I actually enjoy running sometimes now and I'm thinking I could do better. I don't care to time myself though.

[dscythe]

lol from 5 min to about 5:10...

[Aivy]

Wtf? Dang you guys are faster than me! In elementary it was like 11 minutes.I hated running track, with all that asphalt haha. I need to start running more..

[jayneefahxD]

if i really tried .... maybe around 7:00-7:30?
hehe ;p

[krngirl26]

around 7:45-8:30, depending on the day
was never a very fast runner....

[ahchoe]

I usually jog it with friends at school.. I haven't really timed myself though. Uhh avg time is probably like what. 7m?
