If you had to do a mile run and a 40 yard dash (FAT timing)....what would your times be?

Well I am 45 and can run a 5:20 mile, 40 time is some where around 5 flat.

I can also do 15 pull ups.

I know you are a runner. 5:20 at 45 is solid. I definitely would need video evidence of the 5.00 40 official time. It's not impossible for me to believe but would be more apt to believe 5.2-5.3.

Regardless, both damn impressive for anyone over 36.

I have a power and speed group I work with. We run 40's all the time and run them sometimes. Depending on other training of I am fresh I can get moving.

Haven't broke 5 in awhile but 5.2-3 is pretty normal.

BTW...the 2 distances picked here are random.

I know they are random but also figured most could give close times on.

You guys using stop watches on your 40's?

I'm almost 43....out of shape.

My mile around 9:15 and hand times 40 at 5.8...but FAT would be 6.0-6.1

Yes. At meets If using a stopwatch do you:

you are clocked at 5.52...you round it up to 5.6? Then if want an FAT conversion add the .24....turning it into 5.84.

My son in jr high track and parents couldn't understand why their kid ran 11.9 at small meet and then at official FAT meet run a 12.24.

Guessing 6:15 mile, low 5's 40. Usually pace 7:30 for 5K.
24 pull ups with momentum, 16 from dead stop at bottom.

Right now I'm guessing a sub 8 minute mile and sub 7 second 40. Far cry from what I once could do.

Man, some of y'all are fast. Right now my fastest mile would probably be between 7:00 and 7:30, probably closer to 7:30. Last November I finally broke 25 minutes in a 5k (its the only 5k I run a year) which is about 8 minutes a mile.

According to strava my top mile time is 6:19, but I can run faster. My gym is .8 miles away and I'll run there in the morning at a 5:50 pace. I'm confident I could run a sub 6 min mile. My usual mile time on my med-longer runs are around 7:45-8:15 though.

No clue on my 40 time.

Yeah, we have some fast dudes on here.
I'm still not in great running shape, but am up to a 7 miles on the weekends. I average about a 9 minute mile for that.
40 times, phhh. I'm white, so it would be hilariously bad.

40---No idea but probably not very good. I don't start out fast.

1 mile....likely low to mid 6 minute range. I have been getting 14-14:10 in my last 3-4 2 mile run tests so knowing I don't have to save myself for the extra mile I am confident a 6:15-6:30 mile is attainable.
