My best 4 mile run is 29:32. Just Curious!

Just adding my current 2 mile time.. 16:40 x 2 ... 33: 20 ... unacceptable.

That is a fine time, just keep working on it. Good luck!

Never timed myself in a 4 miler, but just had my PT test at work. Ran the 1.5 mile in 9:59.

28:00 Even is the time I ran last week. I've been working towards 10 miles at a 7min pace. Got a ways to go....

Doubling your 2 mile time will not give you an accurate 4 mile time. Fatigue is a curve, getting steeper as you go. Here is an average NCAA Division II trained college runner's times for a 5 mile race.
1 Mile 4:45
2 Mile 5:00
3 Mile 5:08
4 Mile 5:17
5 Mile 5:20
That averages out to 5:06 a mile but you can see that the first couple of miles are much faster, the third mile is right about on average and the last two miles are significantly slower. That's just the way fatigue works.
The above times are not mine, just typical of what my College Team Mates ran.

Incase some of you guys think this is fast, it's not. 5:06 pace for 5 miles is pretty average for a Division II runner.

I was a little worse than average but here are my times from College just to put it in perspective:
1 Mile 4:38
2 Mile 10:02
3 Mile 15:32
3.1 Mile 16:04 Track/15:30 Road
4 Mile Unknown
5 Mile 26:04
6.2 Mile 33:25 Track/32:30 Road

When I went to Selection, a lot of guys thought they were fast, running just under 7 minutes per mile for the eval. I was the fastest guy in the 4, 5, 6 mile evals in both of my classes. When I graduated, I went on Leave and had to run with the Girls Cross Country Team at my old College because I was too slow for the guys. And some of the girls still beat me and I was still running sub 6 minutes per mile.

Speed is relative. Have fun comparing yourselves to each other or to what I have posted. There are tons of people a lot faster than any of us. Then again, they don't have to pass CCOC or Indoc either. All that matters is PASSING every event of the eval. Running 4 minute miles won't do you any good if you fail push ups. Doing 35 pull ups, likewise does you no good if you fail the water Confidence Eval. Worry more about passing each event than being great at any one event. I never had any problems with PT at Selection (I was always just 5 push ups ahead of the number each eval but everything else was easy) but WaterCon was tough. I was even set back because of failing a WaterCon event twice in a row. All the running and cals couldn't help me with that.

GuardMC you say those times aren't fast.. but, dang! I don't know who's splits those are but that is one fast cat.

I haven't run track so I can't say if those paces are good, but comparing it to my swimming knowledge, like the 1650 for example I paced it a bit differently. I don't want to compare apples/oranges but the two sports really do have a lot in common.

First 100 is always going to be fast, you always go out feeling smooth so you really can't count it. However, you really like to see a steady pace.

For instance one of my competive mile splits were something like the first 100 was a 1:00, fell back a bit the first 500 and kept 1:07's. Second 500 went down to 1:09's and finally the last 500 picked it up a bit and took back my 1:07's.

I guess it really matters how you run/swim the event. I do agree fatigue is a big factor, especialy that last 200 (swimming) and even when I do my runs. Of course who knows how he was coached or taught to pace his races but that's just my 2 cents.

But like you said it's all about being able to do everything, it wont matter if some dude can swim or not if he can't move his legs, what's the use?

30:19 so far but i'm working at it! got a ways to go.

Today was my first 4 mile attempt. 33:07

Did my first one today. Knocked it out in 28:34

Ran a 28:38 tonight....what's a good time to shoot for?

35:40

Indoc 4 mile is less than 28:00 so i would shoot for below that. Personally i felt the 5 mile run was the most difficult with a time limit of 35:00.

I ran a 5K in HS in 16:55 but I am having a hard time getting back into that good of running shape. I can pull off 3.5 miles in 23:30 with fins (on my back) and camelback but I dont know about 4 yet. I assume it would only be about 3 minutes more...

Well, I've hit my mark of 10 miles in 70 minutes. Current goal is 10 miles in an hour, but am currently training for the Athens Marathon *pray to be back from deployment by then* so I probably won't get a chance to do a time trial on myself at that speed before the end of November.

I did hit 4 miles in 25:11 about 2 weeks ago during a threshold run. It was after about a mile of warming up...

Did 4 miles today in 27:51 minutes. Very pleased with myself.

did mine in 32 min. Ouch!!

My best 4 mile ever was 21:37. I'd be lucky to hit 28 mins anymore. Just a tad bit faster than sloth now days!

What's the farthest anyone here has pushed themselves at one time in terms of running miles? Currently I am sitting at 100 miles.

GuardMC is right, it is futile to compare each other if you can't pass the rest but it is still fun to see what everyone is doing and aspire to reach that new level.

When I was a young buck my best 4 mile was 20:18. Now 12 years later I run it under 23:00.

Ran the other night 4 mile 28:46.
