    How long would it take you to run a mile?

    How long would it take you to run a mile on flat land in moderate temperatures?

    I would say my best time is just under 11 minutes.

    Something like 8-9 minutes when I was able to run that is. Can't run, or jog, anymore because my lung is fucked.

    I can walk a mile in about 13-14 minutes if I'm keeping a quick pace, so an 11 minute mile seems unusual if you're actually running the whole thing.

    I loathe running though, so I guess good job on actually doing it. My spouse is a runner, but no thanks. Yall better than me.

    I can literally walk a mile in 12 minutes so if you're slower than that holy shit. And I'm out of shape - my fastest was 7 min and current is 8 min.

    I ran 2 in 13:42 last Thursday. Getting old, use to be able to do that in about 12:30.

    God, I hate running. I'm getting flashbacks to me never getting the Presidential Physical Fitness award in elementary and middle school because of the mile. Aced everything else but cant run a mile for shit. I used to be able to sprint, though.

    When I use to run a lot, many years ago, my best time was 38 mins for 5 miles. My goal was to run the 5 miles under 40 mins. Ran 4 times a week. Never tried to run as fast as I could for a min, except in the Army. Ran it in about 8 mins. That was when I was only 17 and had not trained to run a lot.

    I do not run anymore. Instead I go for long walks along our nature trails out here. They have some pretty good steep parts, which gives this old body a good workout.

    My last 5K, only 5K, was 27 something. It was on my list, I did it, it’s done.

    I bike 30 miles an outing though sometimes 6 days a week if the weather is good.

    Running is a royal pain with fallen arches, it really does a number on my shins and knees.

    That said I always walk at a very brisk pace and I can probably walk a mile in 10-12 minutes.

    I can't run anymore (medical reason), but I'm sure I can walk it in under 20.

    It's better for you anyway. Running. esp if you do it on pavement, is hard on your knees, hips and back. You can get the same cardiovascular and calories burned health benefits by walking. Just takes longer.

    Well, I can run 2 km in 8 mins without an issue, so I guess I can run a mile in less than 7 mins. Having said that I'm not that much into the short stuff. I prefer running 10K and beyond. Got into running about 8 years ago after dropping a substantial amount of weight and it has become a hobby for me ever since. I've finished 8 marathons and 18 ultramarathons, the longest of which was a 100-miler with 24,000 feet of cumulative elevation gain (took me 29 hours and 30 minutes to finish). Definitely prefer ultras to road marathons cause they are usually on trails, so they are a lot more picturesque, and also the feet take a lot less pounding.
