    Default How fast could you run a mile right now?

    most are over 9 minutes probably.

    Right now, probably 8. When I was playing sports in HS, 6:30. Those days are long long gone unfortunately!

    Hmmm with the halfway bum knee in a brace I am sure it would take me 15 minutes. Last time I timed it I was around 6:45

    Default

    used to take me 7 minutes. now probably 9.

    Never. Shin splints and hyper-extended knees are no fun.

    Edited to add: on a nice track, I could run a mile...but I'd be going nice and slow since I haven't run in years.

    Is there surgery to fix those problems or do you just not want to go through it?

    Yeah, I do. Though treadmills have enough give for me to jog a little. I can rollerblade too. I'm just too beat up from gymnastics to deal with all the impact of running.

    I'm not sure about shin splints. They don't bother me unless I try running or sometimes after a particularly busy night at work.

    As for my knees? Well, I have to assume that the pain I have is due to some stretched ligaments or tendons. It may even be something with my ACL. I don't just "not want to go through with it"....I am petrified of knee surgery. They don't hurt bad enough often enough to make it worth it. I never really enjoyed running, so it doesn't break my heart that I can't have it in my workout routine.

    Edited to add: I may not have been clear about my knee injuries. I hype-extended them back in high school and never let them heal correctly, so I kept re-injuring them. I haven't "injured" them lately...but they sure hurt like hell sometimes. I'll have a bad week, then no problems for a couple months.

    Yeah I hear ya about being petrified of surgery but finally gave in and got my knee surgery since stairs absolutely kill them and I love going for 30 mile bike rides during the summer so I finally gave in. Honestly the knee I got worked on 2 months ago feels a lot better than the other one and is going to be worth it in the long run.

    I could swim it faster than I could run it probably. Bad backs and bum knees aren't fun. Now if I could bike it i'd be good too.

    Yeah, I really should go in and get them checked out. I guess the pain just isn't bad enough yet to make me....which I know is stupid since they'll probably be easier to repair now than 10 years from now. Hell, I may even be able to help myself out a lot with a little physical therapy.

    It's even worse when I play hockey. I have it on still and tape the hell out of it.

    I used to do that with my ankle, Deuce. Nothing worse than gettingyouself all taped up and realizing your toes are turning blue.

    No, I won't. I never mastered those. I sprained my back on a back tuck (just after I learned how to do them). I'm lucky to be walking...that's enough of those.

    Thank you for your prompt reply, The Mo. I then will answer that I don't run miles, I stay right where I am.

    I actually ran the mile in 6 1/2 minutes last year but then my knee started bothering me so I stopped running. I stick with the elliptical machines and racquetball.

    Yikes! Raquetball isn't exactly "knee-friendly"!
