Then and Now: your fastest mile
For me:
Teens: 5:30 Now: 6:40 |
teens : 5:51
Now: in the 8's although I have not tried to run a mile at tops in a while. |
teens: ?
Now: 6:05 |
Age 22:6:05
Last year: 5:36 How cool would it be to run under 5:00? That would be awesome, but the suffering that would be required just doesn't seem worth it. |
Teens: 5:15
Now: 6:47 |
Not a fair question.
Teens, meaning up to 19: 4:55 (faster in college, 4:38) Now, 5:25. (usually breaking six is hard though 5:45 to 5:50 consistently). So almost three decades later, or thereabouts, almost a minute per mile slower. |

I would have to eliminate other stuff, but with a rotation of 200s, 400s, 800, 1200s, and 1600s, I could get you down there. It's just holding the first 400 near 72, not letting off on the second, pushing hard on the third without letting legs lose cadence and then smashing the last one. I could easily train you to reach it. I bet if you let me train you I could get you near 4:30. Leg turn over is the key. If you run with power rather than cadence it's tougher. |
6:12 at 11yo.
17:00 now (estimate) |

A 6:12 is blazing fast for a fifth grader. Geeze. I could only do about a 7:20 at that age. |

2. I was in excellent shape back then (I did summer track) I believe I was 11 during 6th grade. |
