i run a 6min mile

Quote from lescor:

First of all, a treadmill is nothing like running outdoors. Treadmills have built in shock absorption, which is a lot easier on the legs. If you think there's no wind resistance running on an indoor track, you might want to re-visit elementary school math.

Secondly, if you you think a 6 min mile is hot stuff, you're wrong. It's nothing special for a semi-serious runner in his 20's. When I was training for triathlons in my late 30's I'd do 4x1mile repeats in 5:50 with 2 min rest between.

And for a more well rounded picture of your overall fitness, why don't you also tell us how many consecutive pull ups you can do and how much you can deadlift or lift overhead?

Here's the new benchmark for the thread, sonny.
1 mile run, 6:08. Consecutive pull ups, 38. Deadlift, 400 lbs. Push press, 200 lbs. Ironman triathlon, 10:12. AGE- 41

Suck it, piker. LOL

Glad you mentioned wind resistance reminded me that i set the treadmill to a 2 degree incline when running. LOL, that makes my run time even more impressive than running flat track + air resistance. Thanks for the reminder :D

38 pullups? i doubt you know the difference b/w a pullup and a kipup (nothing more than a circus act) No way you do 38 real pullups but have little doubt of your gymnastic ability on the highbar ROFL

No crawl back under your rock :D

1 6min mile is not hard. Now 2 miles in 12 min, thats a challenge.

i run 3-5 miles/day and my time @ 2 mile mark is routinely under 13:30 :cool:

i see 12 mins in my near future
 
Going to train hard for the next month..then attempt to shave another 10 or 15 secs off my time. i'm interested in knowing just how fast i can become, i wonder can i get to 5 :eek:

i'd LOVE to be able to say I can run a 5 min mile :cool:
