How fast can you run 1KM?

[Steedie]

4:30 for me, but then I'm not that fit

 

[Caseh]

I think i did it last year in about 3:10 - But i think i would be much closer to 4 minutes now :/

I would seriously question how accurate the quoted '20km/h' is on any treadmill.

I used to try and figure out my mile times from the speed on the treadmill, but imo you can't take it as anything more than a rough guide.

If you care enough, then get yourself down to a running track with a stop watch!

I have literally no stretch of road near my which is flat enough to run hard for a kilometre on. Stupid hilly Malvern!

Run on the hills then

 

[PaulyD]

Would've thought running down the hill would be the best option

 

[Ultra_Extreme]

Probably 10mins or more. but id do it carrying two fully grown men, just for a laugh

No you wouldn't.

 

[Ultra_Extreme]

No you wouldn't.

i can carry two fully grown men, only about 140kilo but your right i wouldnt do a km in 10 mins, would be fun to try

 

[gurusan]

dunno but in high school I ran the mile in 6:50...not amazingly fast but pretty good if I recall correctly.

I still run but now would not be surprised if it was more around the 7:20-7:30 mark

 

[tonyzero]

59 seconds with bake beans assist

 

[aslco]

id say my best is 4minsish also.

 

[Simon]

I can row it in 3:20 so I would hope to run it faster.

I could do 2:35 800m when i used to run lots

 

[Zip]

I havnt really run for a long time,(A good few years since my last good run)

Or played sport for a few years.

I have worked out a little bit but not heaps.

So i went for a run the other night and manages 4:45.
What level of fittness would you say that was? I did have to walk a bit of it though
