5.22 isn't bad at all dude back in my high school days I was clockin 4:48 n that was like a good 2:30 mins better than the one behind me.. I remember I had time to go to my locker and get a gatorade and walk back before 2nd place was coming.. Crazy shit and to think that the summer before that I was around 6:45 lol ankle weights make a huge difference if you wear em everyday but eventually you get water in ur knees n that hurts like hell... But of course I smoke wayy too much now to do that lol

4.48 pretty impressive, ankle weights thats brilliant idea will definatly try that out, would be cool to get down to low 4, read somewhere before that 99.9% of the population can't run a mile in under 5 mins

Around 6 minutes for me...I was down to 5:30 ish when I was in high school but my arthritis got worse and it's difficult to run now. I'm in much better shape physically, it's just that my knees are shit now

Best I ever did on a single mile run was like 6 1/2 minutes or so. One summer before Football fall practices started in HS I ran 3 miles a day and generally finished in 22-24 minutes each time though, I really developed some stamina doing that but I dont feel like I ever got faster as a runner. Still, that's over 7 minutes per mile.

My arms and legs are kind of short though, I'm not really built to be athletic. a 4-5 minute mile is pretty damned impressive IMO.

depends on who is chasing me and how much time i'm looking at if i get caught, or how bad i'll get my assed kicked if i slow down...

or if i'm in the jungle, all i know is i need to outrun the guy next to me and i should be golden..

I'm running it at around 8 minutes right now.

It was 12+ min. in high school, smoked since I was 13, quit a couple years ago.

Been working out regularly now so it's getting better.

Nothing like a bit of adrenaline to get the legs moving
