Of all the 5km races in the weekend in England nobody ran that fast apparently. This guy did it 8 times

It's astounding pace. Astounding. I have never been faster than 20 mins for a 5km. Would love to run next to him for as long as i could (500m)
-
@mariner4life you've met me. I'm white as fuck. Never going to run that fast.

I ran a 10k club race on the weekend the winner did it in 31 minutes.
Eluid was faster and did it 4 times in a row.

@mooshld wtf!! 3min/km's is insane, let alone anyone going much faster than that!
-
The pace that the top guys go in middle and distance running is insane. I remember a stat from the Olympic 1500m final a few games ago, can't remember which one. They'd split each runners 100m times down and the slowest was just over 15 seconds.

I could run three km's in nine minutes. My next km would blow out to four minute split. The idea someone can run faster for almost 42km is insane. Great to watch, unbelievably biomechanically efficient.

I've got a mate who could do 3km in just under 8 mins. To put that in context the All Black record for 3k was Caleb Ralph with 10.25 ( quite possibly beaten since, I bet Brodie Retallick has a decent time ). My mate is about my height and in his running days was 62kg, he's 'bulked up' to nearly 70 nowadays. As someone who came close but couldn't quite manage to get 10.15 for 2.4km ( I still managed the standard for my age so all good ) when I was looking at joining the police these times are just ridiculously freakish.
I hate running but like any top class sport I admire the fuck out of anyone who is good at it.

That's bloody fast, most club runners can't do that. Did you ever do a timed mile?

Ran the GC half-marathon a couple of years ago and the course looped around so the pros at the front ran past us. The Japanese dude who won in about an hour flat looked like he was full on sprinting. It's insane.
-
I'm stoked if I can do 5km in 25mins, and when you look at my splits they dont vary much from 5min per/km
My best for more than 1km was about 4.20 per km and that was only for 2.4km on a running track.
-
@taniwharugby 5:30/km is my target but anything under 6 tweaks my aura hard.
The issue is getting to 5:00 pace means I'd be under 92kg and my head will look even more gigantic than before. Might fall over!
-
@nta I'm sitting around 95kg +/-1kg at present, and running on a dead flat run, 5/km is doable, but when I have to run annoying hills an' shit, it slows me down, run is usually around 5.20/km, although many of my runs are on trails with stairs...

Jesus 3 min splits for 3km is fast would get you a scholarship in the states to a uni if you ran that at high school.
I ran 10.30 3km in 7th form weighing about 90-95kg which I thought was pretty good.
Got to a fitness few years back to run a half reckon I would have broken 1 hour 30 but broke my ankle in rugby few weeks out. Got to a stage of comfortably running 10km in 40 ish minutes. Best I have actually run is about a 1hour 39 or something although its not offical as 2/3 halfs i have run have been the wrong distance. Did Iron Maori event in the Gold Coast for myfirst and was loops of a route which they mis measured ended being 24.5km (came third which I am claiming as a podium finish in a half marthon....the competition wasn't too high). Did the Wellington one as well and they put the turnaround point 500m further then what it was meant to be. Threw my toys as thought my watch was playing up and I was going really slow.

That's still a full minute quicker than the basic test in the Australian Army for someone under 25.

No, we used to have to do 1.5 miles (2.4 km) for which I'd do at my fittest about 7:10 - 7:20. I weighed about 75kg then. Once I put on another 20kg I had considerable difficulty staying under 8:30.
I couldn't run faster than 3min/km unless I was sprinting. For some reason my body liked two speeds; one for 100m and another for up to 3km.

My best 3km from memory was 14:10 BUT the finish point was about 20m lower elevation than starting.
My best 5km on a flatter track is around 24:50 which is when I was hauling about 90kg. I'd struggle to get back there with the circulatory issues I've got, I think; I could probably clock 25 on a dead flat surface, but would have lost vision in my right eye (maybe 50% of the left, too) and needing to land on a mattress at the end.

Had always amused me that iron Maori events are only half as long as an Ironman.

shut up. Half iron mans are hard!
