(Men) 10 Round Numbers- how many of these can you run in 2012?

You described 6 minute mile as a swift jog. That is what I find issue with, not the target itself, which is handy enough. Surely you can run at swift jog pace for three miles? Surely you can manage that? Or else you were being intentionally flippant or snobbish.

You seem to be really looking for a reason to be offended (taper madness?). I have the utmost respect for people running such pace for 26.2 miles. It's not a jog over 26.2 miles, it's a damn impressive performance. But over 2 laps of a track it is slow IMO. It's two 90 second 400m laps. That's a jog. IMO anyway.

6 minute mileing is not a swift jog. But running at that pace for half a mile or less certainly is. Really I'm surprised at the sensitivity and the sillyness of your posts here tbh. Would expect more of you tbh, given the credibility of most of what you post.

Updating for a PB today in the 400m. A 0.67 second improvement on my run at the State Champs at the very end of last season.

I am glad that you have contradicted your earlier opinion and hope that you now realize that when using adjectives that describe pace or speed, distance covered is an irrelevant variable. It's a question of semantics (or physics). Please feel free to continue to insult my posts, if it helps you to save face over your rather obvious blunder. I'm just glad you learned something today.

Didn't realise that the terminology for "jog" was so rigid. 22.5 seconds per 100m for 2 laps of the track would be a jog from my way of thinking, for the type of running that I do. Not from your line of thinking, coming from a distance background, which is absolutely fine.

But there really was no need to get touchy about absolutely nothing really. Anyway, we'll just leave it at that. Good luck with the "jog"

on Monday.*

*A joke very obviously!

When I run a mile in 6 minutes it certainly doesn't at all feel like a jog. But, to a good runner a 6 minute mile for 1 mile is a brisk run. At 80 percent capacity I would guess. I run 800 in about 2 mins 30. That is a fairly fast jog for a non runner.

Delighted to run the mile time tonight. Ran as a club race with a few who reckoned they were capable of sub 5. It was held in the Kelvin Hall, an indoor track in the west end of Glasgow. In the end I was second just behind the winner with third running 5:02. A great nights racing

Boom. Knocked a minute off my 5 mile pb time last night.

Couldn't see my Garmin as I wasn't able to wear my contacts yesterday so all I could do was just run. Had no aim for the race, but in the first few hundred meters could just make out one of my club mates who is faster than me so thought feck it, just hang on with that group he's in and see what happens. Sure it's only a 5 mile and hardly matters if I blow up as there will be another race soon enough.
The first indication of what time we were on for was at half way where I could just make out the big clock saying 13:5X. Was then a case of trying to hang on, but there was still a group of three of us. Coming back on the last leg of the course were were catching up with 2nd and 3rd place and I was expecting the other two guys still with me to make a move to try and catch them, they didn't. I did. Just ran out of time in the end and missed winning a bottle of wine by a couple of seconds in the end, but I did beat the club mate who is was faster.

Thought I might have got 10 seconds off the pb if things went really well, but a minute off my PB was totally unexpected. Very happy robinph.

Updated Marathon time (for posterity). Still looking for that elusive 400m track race. Have started a program that includes some 200m and 400m reps (albeit not at the kind of pace required for a sub-60 400m), but they should help with overall speed.

Great results Robin and n-dawg.

would never have thought last January I'd be posting these sort of times come November. Hoping to get a decent 5k in over the next few weeks

Thought I'd add mine to the list after doing the a recent 10k race. Big ones left to get for me are the 5 & 10 mile. But rarely race these distances..So 2013 it is

Not a bad idea either. We just need a time-keeper! (though Timmaay's pacer would maximize chances of success!).

We could do a GOAL mile, and just quit after the first lap.

n-dawg · 16-11-2012 04:59PM

I'm sure I could convince either parents or sisters to act as time keepers... yes a pacer would be nice though!
