You know, as far as speed?
Edit: I have shin splints
good for the average person, i'd say ya. good as far as being a top notch athlete, not really.
not that i could do any better tbh.
marines are supposed to run 3 miles in between 18-25 minutes...
Well I also have shin splints so...
7 minutes is alright....back when i had less lard on me, i could easily do that
what sport do you play, if you are doing this for a sport? at what level?

Just for general fitness.
W talking one mile or consecutive miles?
0ne 7 minute mile is an average speed, if you can maintain a 7 minute mile pace for say 4-5 miles, I would say you are above average.
My one mile time is around 5:45, my 4 mile time is about 28-29 minutes.
Well my main focus is really lean mass not cardio or running. I just run to keep the bodyfat down but I was just curious.
mid to high 4 minute miles are good, if you go below 4 minutes or even close to it your among the best in the world. (from a competitive view point)
and what does shin splints have to do with distance running? ice, heat massage, ice/ heat (repeat constrasts) finish with heat and massage and then one finally icing to get rid of them and trying new shoes or looking into orthotics could help
Haha shin splints have everything to do with running.

for a fun runner not wearing spikes...theyre not a big deal...he's young he can deal with the pain until he does whatever needed to make them better. shin splints really just a nuisance.
i just said what i meant wrong, i meant, what does shin splints have to do with how good your time is....wouldn't make a significant difference in his time even if they did cause him to slow down slight bit

your 16 at 230, Im sure you could easily do a 7 minute mile at 13-14. :rolleyes:

7 min mile was what it took to test out of PE back in highschool, so i would say it would be right at the average of a person in decent shape.
For reference ive ran a 5:13 at 155 lbs and when i was at 200lbs i could barely squeeze in at under 7 minutes.
It's not terrible. I'd say that under 6 minutes is a "good time" for an 18 year old male.

First off its "Marines"
secondly. one of the guys in my platoon can run it in 16.50 (3 miles). just sayin.

I think shin splints are a little bit more than a nuisance. During football season I had them so bad it hurt to even walk.
Slow as hell for a super saiyan.
yes goku, get your ass in the hyperbolic chamber
i run a 5:18 which im proud of but damn it has hard to get my time down i started at like a 7:30

Almost mirrors my times. Senior in HS at 162 lbs I ran the mile in 5:18, and I can do it right now at 221 lbs about 6:40, perhaps 20 seconds faster w/my gears turned up.

^^^ 5:20 was my fastest time ever. Now my sister runs almost a minute faster than that (yes olympic trials) :(

I seriously couldn't stop laughing.
Yes, its super. You can say you run a mile in 2 minutes and 3/4 of the people here will say they run it faster. Take it for what it is.
The average joe runs a mile in 9-10 minutes if at all.
id say 7 min is decent
i used to be able to run like a 5:30-6 ish mile, but then i had surgery on my knee and separated my shoulder
really took a toll on my fitness
If shin splits are causing you that much pain when running try a different cardio workout. The eliptical works for me. Either that or just suck it up. 7 minute mile is average if you are running for distance, but if you are only running a mile push your bosy to the limits. Try interval training.

That is a very solid time.
The best I ever managed was 17:00 for a 5k (3.1 miles). I did it on two occasions in high school. Both times, I could see the clock ticking from a ways a way and tried to get in under 17:00. It never happened.
As far as a single mile, I managed a 4:54 mile in high school (weighed about 130) and last summer I ran a mile just to see what my time would be and it sucked! I ran a 7:16.
OP: In reality, though, a 7-minute mile is a good mile time. When I ran, it was for high school track. For general fitness, it's a respectable mile. It's averaging just over 8.5 m.p.h. for an entire mile. The average adult male walks at approximately 3 m.p.h. Sounds easy, but it really is not.
ya thats pretty good, i personally can do 1 mill in 5 min (serious)
Run that way 4-5 times a week for work.

Actually their requirements are not that stringent. I think 28 is the upper limit for young recruits.
7 minutes is good for general fitness
