I was to much not believing that he or any other human being can run a mile in under four minutes.
I treadmill every night and it takes me just under thirteen minutes to do three quarters of a mile. (I'm not saying at what speed) But I can sure picture in my mind how fast that is. The mans a freak! Freak I say!

Thus, when I got up from the track after collapsing at the finish line, I figured I was dead.” -Roger Bannister I love this quote from the man who did it first in 1954.

This time of year (cool temps) on my lunch break walks, I can usually do a mile in 15 minutes (4 mph).

If I rode a bike it'll likely take me longer to do a mile than running it, I'm no cyclist, I can't cycle worth a hoot, the sport of cycling never apealed to me.. Anyhoo, I can do a 8-minute mile, in some of my 5K races I paced at 8:13, but that is hard open throttle running for me. The 4-minute mile is very impressive. When I was younger back in the 1980's I was able to do some 7.5 mile paces on the Trinity Train in Fort Worth, Texas.Title: Re: TU runner sets record in mile Post by: Red Arrow on February 27, 2013, 02:08:27 pm If I rode a bike it'll likely take me longer to do a mile than running it, I'm no cyclist, I can't cycle worth a hoot, the sport of cycling never apealed to me. So you're only a half-fast bicycle rider. ;D Title: Re: TU runner sets record in mile Post by: sauerkraut on March 16, 2013, 03:04:03 pm http://www.okc.gov/trails/ OKC is going ahead full speed building a network of jogging trails.
