Reply to: How many miles should I run today?

Isn't average running speed something like 10-12 MPH. That means you are running at approx half of the average running speed AtW, i.e. you aren't going for a run, just a brisk walk.

Go and do some proper running FFS!!!

10 mph is very respectable.

That's two miles in 12 minutes, which is faster than average, though a club athlete would be looking to do it in about 10 minutes (12 mph), and the world record is about 8 (15 mph).

You are right though, AtW's 2 miles in 20 minutes is indeed slow, and hardly worth the effort assuming he is under 40 and an averagely fit human being. He needs to run faster and further to get much fitness benefit.

Then again, he might simply enjoy jogging around at that pace, chatting up women on the way.

I pay good looking women to carry me very briskly instead.

I can neither deny nor confirm - the world is not black and wide and sometimes absense of a value is a value in itself.

So, Alexi, did you run today, or just argue about it ?

[AtW]

used to take me just over 5 mins to do 1500 kilometres.

You are threaded and I claim my 5 gold bars!

Alexei, 2 miles is not much use. You need at least 30 minutes to get fitness benefits. If it takes you that long to run 2 miles, take up swimming instead.

I used to be able to nearly do that. 35.55 was my best, although I only did it once.

How long did it take for you to run 2 miles?

[Ardesco]

2 miles run today, 20 minutes running - 5 mins of feeding ducks, chatting up bored housewifes and other stuff.

Pathetic turnout - I think NL is right after all to demand people go and vote for the party of their choice so long as its New Liebor.
