The fastest I've ever did it in was fast enough to get a D in PE back in ninth grade which was probably like anything under like 8.5-9 minutes or something. I was out of shape and slowed down to a slow walk multiple times because I was out of breath.
But when I was in like 11th grade I walked/jogged 8 miles in 1hr 59mins(average time slightly less than a 15 minute mile average). I was in even worse shape then, but I was walking to go buy drugs and hang out with friends so I kept pushing myself to get there quick. Whenever I got there all they had left was like an eight of reggie, I was slightly mad but I still bought it and smoked it all.
Now I'm in terrible shape, I get winded walking up a flight or two of stairs too fast, I'd be lucky to get a mile done in like 10 mins, and I would probably just about die after that.

My fastest mile was at state cross country (which is a 3 mile race), but they have timers at every mile mark and I ran my first mile in 4:57

My fastest time was 4:21. I don't run nearly as much as I used to but I still run at least twice a week.

In HS I ran it in about 6 and half to 7 minutes. I was a wimp.
I would definitely do much better today.

I used to do 6 miles in an hour, I wasn't a good sprinter but I can do a 6 minute mile if I trained for a month.

running a mile eh?
well this depends on alot.
what am i being chased by?
what condition are my legs in?
what drugs am i on?
how much do i care if i'm alive by the end of the run?
best case scenario: my legs are in great condition, i'm on lsd and mdma, just stabbed myself with an adrenaline needle, being chased by a miture of mountain loins, bears, wasps, and police, with complete intention ripping muscles and tendons and having my heart explode; mile in 46 seconds or less

You are chased by a K9 unit
Your legs are fine
Your high on meth
Your have to be alive at the end cause you really need to do your dishes

Well under the conditions previously described I'd run it in about three minutes. The meth will cut your time in half. I'm in good shape so Ill worry about my heart as soon as it stops.

a lot of peoples idea of how fast they are in reality is not the case...I go to the track quite a bit and actually time my runs and have had really no one pass me up on my 7 minute mile

I find it rather hard to believe that a midget could come within 15 seconds of the world record for the mile. Are you sure it wasn't the 1K?

Lol that's just so not true.
I can easily run a sub-7minute mile (I used to have to run 3 miles in 20 minutes every 2 weeks for football, you can do the math). Just because nobody you know passes you up on your 7 minute mile doesn't mean any semi-athletic person can't

I would probably run a fifteen minute mile. More of a jog than a full out run.
Its been a long time since I've had to run anywhere. I spend more time climbing rocks than running flats.
This topic peaks my curiosity though . There is a track nearby. Nine laps is a mile. Maybe I'll give it a try tomorrow on my day off. Just to see.
