Road work

How far do you guys run and for how long?

I`m finally getting myself discined enough to start running regularly. Yesterday I went for 6 km in about 35 minutes.

2 miles in about 25 minutes

[Khun Kao]

It depends on the day. I can do 2 miles in just under 20 min's, but my usual pace is 20-22 minutes. I am running to get into shape at this point, not to fight. You have to pick up the pace and get under a 10-minute mile if you're fight training.

Sorry, I don't know the Mile->Kilometer equations...

During my offseason I cut back running 3X per week instead of (5-6). Before I run, I stretch and do 10 min of steady rope work. The kind of running that I do now is 3:00 @ 70% of my max speed and 1:00 coasting. Total distance covered is 2 miles taking a total time of 15:47. I get about 4 "rounds" and i'm pooped.

My goal in the next two weeks is to add another half mile to the total distance in under 4 min for that additional half mile.

What the conversion from miles to Kilometres , we Kms in Australia .

[Tom Yum]

I think the conversion is 1mile = 1.6km.

In that case I'm running 3.2km to 4.8km 3x per week.

[tidbits]

One mile = .6km
therefore a 5K run is 3 miles

[dkm]

You people have too much time on your hands

[Tom Yum]

wait a sec...if the mile run is 4 laps around the olympic track, then it is 1600 m or 1.6 km, right?

[Ando]

3 laps is 1500 metres 1.5 kms ,
I know that much ,
at my best i do 6 laps and im screwed

[aseepish]

A mile is longer than a km. I seem to remember 1.6 km = 1 mile. It looks like I`m doing just under a 10 minute mile.

[Ando]

Are tracks standard world wide ?

[Tom Yum]

No, but i think the standard olympic track is 400 M. You have variations.

[dave_UK_MT]

If you wanna be dead picky.

1m = 1.62km

[Ando]

No 1000 m = 1km
