Some of you may know but give a guess at what your time would be at these distances:


40 yard dash


100m


400


Mile


5K


Marathon 


Mine:


40 (6.25 guess)


100m (16.85)


400 (1:24.4)


Mile (7:48)


5K (26:52)


Marathon (5 hr 25 min guess)…I’ve never ever jogged over 5 miles or 55 min….I feel I could definitely do 10+ miles in 2 hours but not sure what my body would do the last 16+ miles

40 - 7.00

100 - 18.00

400 - 1:30.00

Mile - 9:30

5K - 35:30

Marathon - 6 hours 30ish minutes. Just guessing at a 15 minute mile pace since aint no way I'd be running the whole time. 


Might attempt the shorter distances if I can find a track/field near me and see how close my guesses are.

I have no idea on the sprints. Nothing special. I’d be worried about rupturing an achilles on them. 

I think I could do a 400 under 90 seconds. 

And a mile under 9. Then it falls off. 


I’ve neglected running over the last 1-2 years and focused more on lifting. But some of my coworkers mentioned wanting to do a 10K in September. A month ago I could barely do 3 miles without stopping a couple times. Now I’m up to 4+ miles.

Slow as fuck these days. My wife on the other hand fast as fuck she missed Boston Marathon by 38 seconds but she’s running Chicago in October as her first of the Major marathons

My running days are in the review mirror. I never ran any of those distances competitively. I ran a 4.9 40 in HS during football 37 years ago. 


My proudest achievement running was the half marathon. I ran four. My best one was 1:57 at age 33. If you saw my frame, you’d tell me congratulations on that.

I dunno anything less than a mile. 


She could probably push herself for a sub 6:00 mile probably 5:55


5k I know she ran at a 6:55 pace last year on July 4th at Buffalo Trace. She won her age group or got second I forget. 


Her best Marathon was around 3:26


She was on pace training for her last marathon to hit 3:10 but it got rained out day of and then she ran the next weekend but her training was all off and the course was hilly and she fucked up her IT band during the race. She should be back on track for 3:30 again for Chicago as the IT band lingered into her training.

Haven't tried many distances above "jogging a few yards to do a shot at the track" in a few years. If I get motivated to do more, I'll let you know. My advice would be to not bookmark this page to eagerly await results, though.

I do not run unless something is chasing me.

No clue on 40 or 100

40: 1:20 maybe lol


Mile: 845


5k: 2800


Marathon....my knees wouldn't hold up.


I did the Army 10 miler over 10 years ago and did that in 1:35 or so. My knees were screaming at the end of that.

Would you accept mile times done on a treadmill?
