Im Thinkin About 180- 190 Lbs, I Feel Thats The Weight I Could Be The Most Comfertable.... ???????

Everyone's body is different. You don't need to worry about weights for boxing until you are fairly experienced. Just get in boxing shape, eat right and see where you comfortably end up.

[salsanchezfan]

..............I agree with Amy, it's all relative; timing a mile is a fun thing, but not necessarily an indicator of real fitness.

My hunch is that as you continue to train and lose those extra few pounds you refer to, you'll see that time dip. Keep at it.

We used to have to do a mile and a half in the army with 1/2 mile warm up, I believe my fastest was 8.09, that was a good 2/3 years ago though.

As said above though just concentrate on getting fit and eating right and just try to stay motivated by mixing it up a bit, you don't want to get bored with it.

I did sports relief mile a few years ago in 6 min 11 secs, thought I was doing pretty good until a 14 year old stormed pass me. Not sure what I could do it in now but am 7lbs lighter so I suspect it would be a little faster.

thats a very good time compared to what I do - I'm guessing your run is all on a flat surface in the army test is it?

[Boxaholic]

All miles I do are 7-6 minutes, Im not sure how fast I could do one mile though.

[MindstateC88]

Thanks For Yall Input Everyone, I Appreciate Your Time Spent On Answerin My Questions.....

We did it on various bases, but the one where i got that time was pretty flat yea, just with the odd incline/decline here and there.

In different camps it's different courses so your time tends to change.

I remember one of the 264(SAS signal squadron)) lad's doing it in around 6 and a half minutes, now that's just a sick time.

[JMonster]

You'd be a very small heavy at 5'8". Then again, Qawi fought up to heavy, and was a very good light-heavy/cruiser at just 5'5.

Are you sure that wasnt just a 1 mile run?

[nicofly]

Ive run 1500m in 5min 25 before. Generally run long distance 10k and above at approx 7 minute mile pace.

[ODIR77]

My best for a mile was 5min 13secs done last week slighty fatigued

Aim bythe end of the year is sub 5......BW@165

[Tyga]

Haven't ran a timed mile since Jr. High.

[pijo]

No mate, it was definately a mile and half, you got remember what these boy's do in training and they just go at it flat out.

[Aplin]

I like Pijo's avatar... oh yeah... mile runs... erm :P

The fastest mile ever run is 3:43.13 by Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco in 1999.

The fastest women's mile is 4:12:86 run by Svetlana Masterkova of Russia on August 14, 1996.

I read that Floyd Mayweather runs a mile in 4 minutes... which when you consider that until 1960's no one had broken 4 minutes is damned impressive seeing as running is far from his specialised sport :)

[berserkafied]

My fastest mile (according to nike +) is 4.52. This was recorded during a 4 mile run + As I live in the mountains the 4.52 mile must be one of the downhill sections!!

[Hagler/Pryor]

4:43, at school, a long time ago. I was quite proud of that time.

[lion_heart]

i think to be considered fit you have to run a mile in 5-6.30mins ...roger bannister ran it in under 4 mins a few decades ago. however at 5ft8 and 220lbs dont mean to be rude but your bmi is really high for your height ideally you should be approx-170-180lbs.

[Dan MT]

6 minutes but I reckon if I was to run just a mile I could do it quicker.

same here

[GEB]

I agree I love running, I think it's great. As of now for myself now now just running on the treadmill before and after a work out. Maybe 3/4 a mile. I think running is great though and distance, sprint, competitions-hurdles high jump etc.

[Mohak]

I wish I could read what everyone typed but I don't care. Plus I'm slightly drunk too. I'm 150lbs for the record

Army time 6 mins miles for 5 miles, but I never had a stop watch so I don't know myself. It all has to do with motivation.

Goddamn I want to fuck the chick in your avatar. I run approx 5 min 50 sec mile BTW.

[everlast147]

good time for a mile is 6min

I Just Weighed Myself, Im 202.... Im Far From 220, Tryin To Get Even Farther From It...

[BRICKS]

6 min. and some change in highschool. not sure what it would be if i were actually in shape enough to run a mile these days.

[joejab]

The best time I ever got was 6:48 in high school. I probally couldn't break 7:00 min right now.

[salsanchezfan]

...............In high school we had to do a fitness test thing, and they timed us for the mile. At the time, I was boxing, and doing roadwork in a rather pedantic, lazy style of jogging about five miles a day, everyday. I clocked 5:45 that day. It makes me wish I'd taken running more seriously for running's sake, but whaddya do.........


Now, at 40, I do a mile in 6:30, but it's improving. By the time I quit worrying about such trifling stuff I want to be at about 6:15, maybe even 6:10.

[joekirkbycobra]

i did 1500m in 5.01
im 5'8 and 145 pounds
wen i ran that i was 5'8 an 122 pounds
but i dislocated my knee
i might b able to it faster now im not sure the extra weight isnt really fat

[ripcity]

My best time was 5:15 when is was 19. and 133-140 lbs.
I timed my self about a month ago 6:40 35yrs 165 lbs.
