How fast can u run a mile ?

Just started running to get in shape and I can probably do a 10 min mile. I downloaded cool app on iPhone tracks how far you run etc. I ran 6 miles yesterday in about 1.5 hours stopping a few times to walk... Takes a lot to get in shape takes very little to get out of shape...

My personal best is 4:21..

Today I would be lucky to go under 4:50.. I ran cross country and track in college, but since I graduated a year ago... my running hasn't been what it should be
 
6 minutes would be a challenge. The mile is probably the longest distance I'd want to be able to run at a very fast pace (4-5 minutes).

Gebrselassie can run a marathon at an average pace of 4:45 per mile... lol wut

Wow...I haven't run anywhere in over 3 years now. The large collection of titanium skeletized metal and 13 3"screws in my left leg has alot to do with that. About a year ago I was running, playing frisbee...and then my alarm clock went off and I woke up. Sigh.

Wow! Something I can still do... run! I've been a runner all my life. I ran the 800m or 1/2m in high school. I ran anchor leg on top 10 5A high school relay team in Tx... oh yeah, that was 1983. I ran a 1:55 half and a 4:35 best mile. And then there's now... I'm 48 next month and am happy with a couple puffs and 8:30 pace. Funny thing... I have always had running in my life. I've run two 26 mile marathons, more 10Ks and races than can remember. I've been a daily pot smoker since I graduated high school... 29 years ago. I NEVER EVER ran high until two years ago. What a new world of running. Now I can't wait to toke up, put on my headphones, and hit the pavement. I know I can still run a 5:50 mile now... however, with some good smoke and little Joe Satriani tune, a 5:30 might be possible! And then I woke up! Fuck that!... do you know how much pain I'd be in for the next couple of days.
