Salaams Bros and the sitaz who have joined in the lively brothers forum,

Quick question, how many minutes does it take to do a mile.

I've started to train hard, last week had a time of 10 mins, this week down to 9.20 seconds.
My aim is to do a mile in 7 minutes.

So whats your time ????

Salaams

salaam,

professional athletes can do it in under 4 minutes.  back in junior high school quite a few guys did it in a little over 6 minutes.

I've never really timed myself in the mile. I run once or twice a week for about 15-20 minutes, just running at a comfortable pace (bit faster then walking).

But Bro's tell me this, how do you know you've run an exact mile? I mean how do you measure it? I do about two miles in just over 15 minutes, so i'm probably doing a mile in around 7 or 8 minutes. dont know for sure though, maybe we should have a competition  :-[

asalaamu alaikum,

I guess I'm outnumbered here, but doesn't anyone here work in kilometers???  I think I was able to run 4kms in just under 20 minutes last summer....but do take it easy and make sure you have good shoes bro.. don't want to go injuring yourself.

Wats the point of timing ourselves? Good question sister.

The reason is mostly guys do it to see if they are improving thier times, which in turn will indicate whether you are getting faster, and this will then show if you are improving in terms of physical fitness and speed, so that they can be at peak physical condition. Running is one of the key aspects of Jihad.

Asalamu Alykum,

he he back in highschool.. yikes i killed myself in track and it was not worth it, however, i did have a lil fun!!! My highlight was seeing a sister in hijab in track from another school at one of our home meets, he he unfortunately, I didn't run that day but Alhamdullilah we ended up becoming friends anyways!!
Bro mujaahid one can get so many gadgets now a days that can tell you exactly how many miles you ran, heart rate,time and blah blah blah...
Also, it depends where you train like our track running 4 laps was a mile... My time when i started running was bad but it improved drastically Alhamdullilah. InshaAllah brohanif you will end up meeting your goal!!!
Now i want to start running again but i'll wait till summer inshaAllah!!!

the metric system is on the way out. []  i used to run a mile in 5:50.   what happened to me?  now all i do is curling (the next big sport).  and since we have no snow and ice in so. calif. it is even harder.

umm can i just say i felt pathetic when i went overseas and i had no idea about the metric system... what's a km what's a liter etc... and all my british friends thought it was so hysterical the US was so backwards!!! we should get with the times and go with the rest of the world! but we're so zenophobic and want to do things our way :((((

Lol  :-/

dont worry Jannah, most of us here in the UK dont know what the Metric system is!! Last week their was a high profile case where four shop keepers were punished for refusing to use the new metric systems!!

In a poll about that Trial, out of 5'000 people, 96% said they supported the Shop keepers and wanted to keep the old system! But the government are refusing to listen to the people. Then they have the nerv to cliam its a democryacy, where the poeple decide  ???

Anyway back to the Running, incorperst, 5.50 for the mile? That is fast, was that on a bike  ;) If not, are you a pro-athlete?

well, I was once told that a mile is like a fitness test- a healthy male should be able to do the mile as a sign of fitness.

I believe good time on the mile, which shows physical aptitude, is like 5 minutes. Yeah that's pretty qick. I believe i did it in 7 minutes. asalmu alaikum.abdullah,.

How fast can people do the 100 metere?

Hmmmm............That's pretty amazing! Metric system is one of the basics taught in Science/Physics.  I wonder why dont they teach it here in States.

Can anyone on the board beat time of under 5 min???
A guy in my high school ran the mile under 5 min...he was on the track team though  ;)

The fastest time I've ran the mile is between 6 and 7 min...that was a while ago though...Now it's probably around 7-8 min  :(

Bro Hanif I'm impressed ;-)

I'm usually around the 10 minute mark as well.

Apparently the doctors say you should exercise for 20mins at least 3 times a week so that's my goal but it kind of slackens during the winter when its too cold!!

6:27 Very good, well impressed. I'll ask you again after your married after a couple of years and see what your time is then. But how about long distance, do you think you could do 4 miles in 30 mins ????

And does anyone do long distance running.....?

Okay I have to be honest here, but as soon as I read what Sr princess had put up I went to Surah 6 and verse number 27!!! ;-)

If thou couldst but see when they are confronted with the Fire! They will say:

"Would that we were but sent back! Then would we not reject the Signs of our Lord, but would be amongst those who believe!"[6:27]


I was trying to figure out what context this verse had with the thread topic!!! ;-)  


Anyway I'm impressed.


[quote]And does anyone do long distance running.....? [/quote]

Long distance in summer tends to be 3 miles when I'm energetic enough.
Long distance in winter is up the stairs ;-)
