An 8 minute mile is a good paced jog. 5 minutes is sprinting.

It only takes 5 minutes.

Nobody has ever run a 5 minute mile.

I disagree

With peds anything is possible

Sub 4 minute miles have been done bro

You need to be in peak running condition and genetically gifted, so, really difficult.
>t. 4:47 mile

If you control for better equipment, only 513 people have run a 4 minute mile since 1954.

Still shows its possible and that 5 minutes isn't impossible

To give yourself an idea of how fast that is, hop on a treadmill, set the speed to 12 miles and hour and try and keep that pace for 5 minutes.

It would be easier on a treadmill too.

are you stupid

U.S Army had to take away the 1 and a quarter mile run in 12 minutes as an entry standard because it was too difficult. Now make the comparison

in the sense that the time taken is a stochastic variable with a continuous distribution and thus an exact 5 minute mile has probability zero, you're right. in a sense.

Best i've done is 5:15 when I was training for military

Homeboy i ran track in high-school with ran an 8 minute two-mile lol are you really going to get shown up by a 16 year old haha

No shit? We had goobers dying to meet minimum PFT standards at the end of OSUT, and that was with entry standards. Is their master plan to hold those fatbodies in purgatory at reception or what?

Sort of related, how reasonable do you think it is to pass the run by just training on a stationary bike? I don't want to go outside.

not feasible
different muscle groups

>you can pass basic without doing a single pull up
what in the fuck

This is the Air Force's requirements IIRC. I recognize the rank names.

lmao those names.
go outside and run you pussy, it's the only proper way.

>easier on a treadmill
>conveyer belt of death

>genetically gifted to run a 5 minute mile
you're so dumb bro

lmao underrated

It's hard desu. Your leg muscles need to be on point.

t. can run a 6:00/mile half-marathon but can run only run a 5:30 mile.

>genetically gifted to run 5 min mile

maybe a 4 min mile but even high schoolers can do it now

>2 miles in 13:30 min is extraordinary

LMAO WHAT THE FUCK what is this I wanna be extraordinary

>liberator
>thunderbolt
>warhawk

Wtf is this weeb-tier shit? cringe lmao
