I was about 25 yrs of age when I Ran a 4:30 Mile with out training do you think I should have taken running up

Question

I know would have could have. I used to love to run and still would if my back did'nt hert so much!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Well thats a shame that your back hurt, you could have done it when you were younger. But running 4:30 at 25 years old is not gonna do you much, because you are out of highschool and you can;t do anything there, plus you are to old to start training for olympics or anything like that. But it is still a very good time, its above average and you maybe think about getting your stamina up and doing marathons.

Answer 2

ya a 4:30 would have been a good starting point. nothing amazing but still. somthing to work with. but i tend to not beleive u did that without training

Answer 3

Thats a great time, that's how fast people run it in High school State competitions and districts. Even some who have made it into the Olympics have set records like that, its a shame you didn't follow through. You could of been a Gold medalist, or done something great with your running.

Here are some legends:

On Saturday Feb. 1, 2003 he broke the world record for joggling a mile with a time of 4 minutes and 42.36 seconds.

The previous mile world record of 4:43.8 was set in San Jose, CA by Kirk Swenson in July 1986.

When Runner Glenn Cunningham first made sport headlines in 1931, the world's record for a mile on foot was 4 min., 9.2 sec. A 4:05 mile was unthinkable.

Monday, Mar. 14, 1938

Last week barrel-chested Glenn Cunningham, now 28, and the father of a nine-months old daughter, went to Hanover, N. H. with the express purpose of running a 4:05 mile on Dartmouth's fast board track. This deliberate move was not wholly undramatic. The world's record of 4:06.4, set by England's Stanley Wooderson last summer, had been officially recognized by the International Amateur Athletic Federation just three days before.

The time you had IS something thats great. Its not often you hear someone runs that. In my 4 years of track at high school, i knew 3 people that could run 4 something miles. 3! out of how many HS students? Possibly out of a 1000, only 3 set times like yours.

Answer 4

4:30 is a very good time! you should of kept trying
