Running: how fast is fast?

[Krassus]

I'm getting into sprinting and wanted to find out what kind of numbers people out there are getting. How fast is fast for sprinting?

 

[fumbduck]

10 second 100meter is fast.

 

[Amorphus]

Two minute mile, and I'm out of practice.

Yeah, you must be out of shape. I carried a washing machine last week for a mile in about 1 minute 48 seconds.

I ran track for 6 years, this is the "fast" speed (for men) for each race:

100 meters: 9.9-10.4 seconds
200 meters: 21.6-22.4 seconds
400 meters: 46.2-48.2 seconds
800 meters: 1:55-1:57
1600 meters: 4:10-4:40
3200 meters: 9:20:9:50

I carried your mother and got 5 minutes... but anybody who knows your mother knows that is pretty good.

 

[Metalloid]

Fastest 100 I have seen is around 10. If you can run a 40 in under 5 seconds you are doing decent...

A 4:10 mile is insane. The fastest mile I have ever run is 5:45, and I'm not exactly sluggish....

I think he was joking, to run a 2 min mile you'd have to do 30 mph and that's just not feasible.

10.7 is a meet win, 10.5 is an invitational win, and 10.3 is state champion.. In California.. 11.5 is fast.

" sprinters " being the operative word... Most average ATOT guys run 13's so it's still fast.

Don't know his last name, but his first name is Dusty. He frequently owned everyone at the 1600m.

Heh.

Dude, your mother carries ME around. And that is just because she cant afford to pay for my "services". Sounds like you need to flip a few more hamburgers and share your salary with her.
