I notice that we get quite a lot of threads along the lines of
"I am superman, look at how much weights I can lift! rawr!"
and
"Give me supplements, BEEFCAKE!!1"
So I was wondering how people are at running, and what their times are? I'm not a big fan of the whole 'I want to lift x amount in 2 months time', more of a 'I want to run at this pace' kind of guy, so how is everyone else for running?

I usually run a set route (looking to mix it up) of 3.5 miles (5.6 km) which I cover in around about 24:30 (best is 24:12), and I'm looking to improve that to 23 or a bit under. The few times I've run further I've done 4.6 miles in 36 minutes, although I've only done that route a couple of times, as I feel running my shorter distance 3 times a week keeps me fit enough :D Soonish I'm going to look at laying down some sprint times, as at school I did 100m and other sprints, and I anticipate I would demolish those times, also want to see how I am at 400m, nice indicator I feel.

So people, what are your times?
(no treadmillers, we know it's easier, and you're not big or clever in your sanitised environments with no wind resistance or uneven surfaces :p)


My times
5.6km @ 24:12
7.36km @ ~36minutes

Haven't accurately measured my distances so I can't really tell you. How are you getting exactly 3.5 miles?
It's roughly 3.5 miles, used a map and a peice of string :D It's very hilly, so if it's actually slightly less than 3.5 miles the hills compensate, and if it's longer then I'm actually better than I think, which isn't a bad thing.
