    I've just done so on a treadmill and its probably the longest distance I've ever run (slow strolling is more my thing). Quite an achievement for me but probably pathetic for everyone else. Took about 9 minutes. How would you do?

    Regards, Rob Philpott.

    I only run when I am in danger.

      The quickest time I have for a mile is 5 min 30 secs. It's all about building up your stamina because I remember the first time that I tried to go for a mile, my legs just went after about a quarter mile :laugh:

        I spend 2 sessions a week on treadmill. My best run so far was, 5.24K in 38 minutes. I think this is something tremendous because, When I did my very first 5K run, approximately 2 years back, It took me 1.3 hours.

        That's an average speed of under 3mph. That's not a 'run', that's a 'walk'. Good stuff on the improvement though!

          I did that several years ago and I should start again. What has happened to my new year's resolution?

            When you have two feet on the ground at any time, you're not running. When you're not touching the ground between steps, you're running.

            Ah, I suppose I could hop or skip a mile, but not very quickly.

            You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

              Whatever you like :) I suppose that still fits the definition by Merriam Webster[^], as long as you can actually walk slower than that:

              Merriam Webster wrote:

              to go faster than a walk; specifically : to go steadily by springing steps so that both feet leave the ground for an instant in each step

              GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

                Yeah, that's a naive definition.

                    Yeah, I know a few people who have run marathons. Quite an accomplishment, but I always have to ask, "Your car quit working?"

                      9 minute pace is not too bad, especially for just starting. Keep it up. You'll live longer. I run most days 4-5 miles most days. 4 miles takes me about 30 mins.
