thanks for all the responses. Ive never timed myself in any runs. I usually run 2 miles on a cross country trail(decent pace). Im sure I can run it faster on a level track than a trail in the woods.
Anyway was just looking for some base times to try achieving.
thanks, reps for all.(on recharge)My 5/3/1 progress can be found here.

youre stats are very similar to mine. When cutting I have a 3.2 mile course I run, it takes me about 28 minutes or so or about 9 minutes per mile. If I were only running 2 and for time I could probably get 15-16 mins total. To get much under that I would probably have to start losing some muscle. When I was really skinny in hs with no muscle I ran 5:15 for the 1600, not elite but not bad.

thats really nothing too extreme. i ran a 19:58 3 mile on my final physical fitness test when i was finishing officer candidate school. and i by no means am a runner. i f*cking hate it with a passion. and my knees were jacked. a 7 min mile is a pretty decent time but can be much better. we had a guy in my platoon that ran like a 14 somethin 3 mile. granted he was like 6'1 and probably weighed about 150 pounds.

Consider the Army PT test when I was a young Sgt way back when, 13:30(or something within a few seconds of this) was max, and 17:00(ish) was a fail, I'd shoot for 14:00 or so.
I ran 11:00 flat at peak conditioning. Most of us ran 12:00-13:00 unless the hangover was particularly bad. Of course most of us smoked several packs a day....

Try shifting your weight back, don't lean forward. This will not only help you to maintain a pace better, but is also better for your joints. Learn to run by pulling with the hams, not pushing with the quads. Your legs should work like a leaf spring, not a strut.....that is when your body weight comes down, your leg that will be taking the weight should not be directly under you...it should be forward of your center of gravity.
I see people on treadmills all the time that are always leaning forward like they want to accelarate. It makes for a very poor and damaging running form. I see em on the track when I use to run and they can never keep a constant pace. I am not saying change your gate or stread.....just lean back a little.I never saw a wild thing

I would honestly shoot for 14-16 (TOPS) mins 2 mile. When I came back from Iraq, for my final APFT with the Army I ran a 2 mile for 12:30, and by no means am I good at running. I used to hate it with a passion. I never ran track or anything.
But, taking your weight and build into consideration, 14-16 mins would be an excellent time

Hi guys, well i take the dog for a walk every day and do just over 2 miles and it takes me about 34 minutes (Walking) im a big lad but still fit and like i say thats a brisk walk so running it i should imagine i could knock easily 10-14 minutes off that time.
Im 260 lbs and 5'10 so not the greatest of sizes for pounding pavements but a brisk walk everyday certainly burns my calories anyway !!
best i have done is 12 miles in just over 2/12 hours ... Walking that is

2 miles kicks my ass, since I first made this post Ive ran the 2 miles a few times, best time was 18..not good but its cold out. (making an excuse)
Been working on it though, I run 1-1.5 miles a day on a treadmill(which I know is nothing like running outdoors) but 1.5 I usually get in around 12 mins now.My 5/3/1 progress can be found here.

It's not really THAT easy for everyone to be able to run quick. Some are INCREDIBLY slow, while others are average. Just cause someone else can run quick, doesn't mean everyone can. and if you can run between 6-7 min/mile, you're doing pretty good in my book. 14 mins for 2 miles...not bad, especially if you hate running and aren't good at it.

Not trying to be a jerk, but I'd presume that most bodybuilders are good runners, considering most of us squat 3+ times a week, work towards low BF, and also do cardio training.
