[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Whats your current 3 mile run time? (Page 1 of 4)
Posted: 7/21/2026 9:17:45 PM EDT
| Lately its 25 minutes. Chasing after my kids riding their bikes has certainly helped. |
|
About 6 minutes. More of I let the truck warm up before I run to the convenience store.  But in all honesty, I’ve never been any kind of distance runner. Not even in my youth as a track runner. Short distances, 800m or less, sure. Any more than that and I was the reason the team lost. |
|
30 minutes for a 5k, 60 minutes for a 10k. Never cared enough to figure out the “run faster for shorter distances so you’re spent at the end” concept. My wife’s running coach ran D1, wins 5k’s and stuff, he’s fast. He was annoyed the group he started with ran 4:10s instead of 4:20s. He kept up fine, but that’s moving on a 5k. |

Between shin splints and plantar fasciitis, I don't run. I think I could do it, but it would ultimately just set me back. I'm currently just working on slowly expanding the duration of my zone 2 cardio, which is 3.5mph with an incline of 6 on the treadmill. Kind of feels like I could do it forever, but trying not to out-walk my feet. Just adding a few minutes every time. |

Quoted: Well, im not running, ive still got a half mile to go, and im pushing a stroller while wearing crocs, but im on track for about 45-50 minutes. This is the first year my 5yo is out of the stroller and on a bike. Its glorious. Chasing kids on bikes vs pushing them is an unbelievable revelation of freedom |
Fuck that.

Walk don't run I can't find a 3 mile, but I do have 3.55 mile walk Attached File |
|
Quoted: If I push it I can do that but will be paying for it for a few days. More like high 26 to mid 27ish. But I’m in my 60s so probably not to shabby. I think thats solid for 60  I did a race over a nh 4k footer last year. While I was waiting for my wife a 75 year old guy crossed the finish line. That impressed the duck out of me. Just doing shit in your 60s and 70s is solids imo |

Just doing shit in your 60s and 70s is solids imo I could still do 7 minutes miles for most of my 50’s. I hit 60 and while I can still perform, my recovery time is SIGNIFICANTLY extended. But I look at my piers and feel better about myself

Quoted: Some of your times are making me realize how out of shape I got during covid. I was running 3 mi in 20 min. Now its 27, age 42 Just lie like most people here are doing if you want to feel better about yourself…or pretend their times are real and use it as motivation to slay dragons. |
