isshinryu5toforever Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 my 1.5 mile time umm 8 minutes maybe? My 2 mile time is just a shade over 11 minutes, so I'm not sure. It's great that you've started running, it's one of the best ways to get in shape, just be careful of your knees though. He who knows others is wise.

I usually run five miles just under a 9:00 minute pace. Keep it up. I had to lose my mind to come to my senses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karatekid1975 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Sheesh! You guys are good! I have to run 1.5 miles for my BB test in 12 minutes .... yea right (at this point). My fastest was 18 minutes, but that was brisk walking, not running. Of course I got till next spring (2006) to improve on that for my BB test, so I'm not worried (well, kind of LOL). It's not easy for someone like me who has athsma (sp?) but its not impossible either Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isshinryu5toforever Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Just keep going, those strides get easier and easier the more you run. Like I said, just watch the knees. Run on soft ground as much as possible, and keep track of what you run, and how you run. Don't overdo it trying to make huge gains, or injuries happen, and those are huge setbacks. Good luck with your running. Oh and drink tons of water. I'm sure you knew that, but it's good to reiterate. He who knows others is wise.

steveb Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 I'm consistent with my running but I'm not very fast. I usually run 3 times a week, 3-4 miles per session at about 8 minutes per mile. Res firma, mitescere nescit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousOne Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 I am 48 and can do it in about 9 minutes based on my current training. However I can hold that pace over 10 miles or longer. I have never tried just to run 1.5 miles, I am sure if thats all I had to do, I could do it faster than 9 minutes. 7th Dan ChidokaiA true combat warrior has to be hard as nails in mind, body and soul.
