[Closed] STW Runners - who is the fastest?

I think you may have won already

Out my office, down the stairs along the hall and into the lounge to stop the cat hacking a fur ball up on the sofa: 6 seconds

is today's best effort.

I've only ever run under duress, tbh.

wwaswas - lol - I can relate to that! (both cat and duress)

Mine are from about 15 years ago:

ps. mine are considerably slower than that

100m 12.7
400m 1:17
800m 2:50
Mile 5:51
5k 20:38 (did 20.20 over 5k in a sprint tri, but won't include that)
5M 33:57
10k 43:55
10M 1:13:34
Half 1:36:06
Mara 3:39:13

I'm a cyclist though now, my 22.11 10 mile TT is a better performance than all of those though.

Quit living in the past. What are you best times right now.

This!

What is this 'running'?

Think I got 1:25 in a half marathon a few of years ago when I was a smoker.

Haven't done a road race for years so can't comment.

Started running in March last year, ran my first marathon in August, and a half in September

Half 1:23:40
Mara 2:59:36

Hoping to improve on those, the marathon was a hilly one and I was pacing myself for 3 hours.

Funnily I started triathlon last year too, with a 70.3 in September, and discovered that I'm a better runner than biker, which was a surprise 😮

Cheers, Rich

Quit living in the past. What are you best times right now

That's a whole other thread, this is for your PBs. I for one could not say what I could run for any distance now, as I haven't run for many years due to injury.

Thanks for that Rich,I was about to post up my times from when I was 23 ,but that would be pointless now ( you fast Barsteward 😛 )

Only as good as your last race 🙂

Surfmat is the fastest. FACT.

41min for cross crountry 10k a couple years ago. Did a few 5milers also cross country and clocked around 35min. I was timed for a mile once and did 6'30" but that was the part of a fitness test so I had to save some for the other exercises -the last being two minutes of burpees which I did 56 just to chip that in 😛

Now there's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

5k (track): 15:50
10k (road): 33:19

5k track 15:48
10k road 32:20
4m road 19:59
5m road 25:57
10 miles 53:50
1/2m 72:52

B-llocks to all this road nonsense.

80km Grand Raid des Pyrenees, off-road, 5000m ascent: 22:56:32

I ran a very fast set of times for the 100m in my yoot. Can't remembr the exact times but our coach was pretty excited and a couple of bods came to watch me at my local athletics club. Unfortunately a few months later i smashed my left ankle whilst cross country running and didn't ever compete again due to massive ligament damage. such is life but my messed up ankle was the main reason I got into bikes so can't complain really.

Times set age 16-17, by 18 I was at uni and on the booze wagon!

400m - 55.5
800m - 1.59.4
1500m - 4.02
5000m track 15:30, road 15:15
5 mile road - 25:25
10k road 32:30

I had a crap sprint which is obvious by that 400m time, but I trained hard and still feel like a runner at heart even if the knees don't let me do it now.

I was unlucky enough not to run for Scotland's XC team, though I entered two internationals as an open entry and beat 2-3 of the scottish team each time.

I hate people like you, complete naturals. It taken me two years of training, running over 1000 miles per year, and I still haven't cracked 4 hours for a marathon. Although my half is down to 1:46.

Fair play though, cracking times! 🙂 Did you really start from complete scratch running? You must have had an existing endurance fitness base.

My times are slow compared to the rest of you

5k 22:16
10k 53:09 (but have gone much faster in training since, that's just the last official race time)
Half-marathon 1:46:08
Marathon 4:58:26 (but went through marathon distance in the below 50k in 4:30)
50k 5:51:21

Target for this year is 3:40 in Brighton Marathon, sub-1:40 in a half, sub 5h 50k. Should be achievable.

Pah! Off-road and cross-country is where it's at. 😉

3:30 marathon

I'm sure if I'd trained really hard in my youth I'd have some really fast times to post up...the older I get the better I was.

10.98 100m
52.3 400m

Got trounced by Jamie Henderson in the Scottish Schools Final in 1988. God I feel old.

Managed a 13.5 in the 100m last year not bad at 42.

10 mile road: 59:47 (but it was 19 years ago).

I try and stay away from road running and the pain it gives me so long and off road is my thing, results last year were,

9:41 Lakeland 50 (want to go sub 9 this year)
4:12 3 peaks fell race (sub 4hr this year)23.3 miles
4:13 Edale Skyline 21.5 miles
8:33 Tour De Helvellyn 38 miles

Gonna beat all those times this year 🙂

100m : 12.0
200m : 22.9 ?
400m : 52.6

(Let's skip the middle-distance)

10k: 42:53

2750m in 12 minutes when I was 15.

the older I get, the faster I was...

10k - 46:53
Half Marathon - 1:43
Kilomathon - 2:14
Marathon - 4:12
I'm looking to crack 4 hours for the Edinburgh Marathon this year. 😀

I've been round our block bloody fast one weekend just lately. Started off with the little 'un and gave my 12 yr old a massive headstart and then cruised past her in the final 20 metres

BOOOOM !

8)

10 k 39:27
10 mile 1:06:30
1/2 marathon. 1:28:30

None of it on the flat, lots of big ups and downs.

Now you wouldn't believe me if I told you, but I could run like the wind blows.

10.98 100m

Whoosh!

I think my best was under 12 seconds. Ran a half decent 200m too. Any further than that, I walked or cycled 😀

10k - 46minutessomething. It was a 'hilly' and the only time I've ever run competitively.

I'm a cyclist though now, my 22.11 10 mile TT is a better performance than all of those though.

21:14 for a 10mile TT here. Though Jedi can p155 on that from a great height 🙂

Would anyone like to see my cock?

He's a bloody short arse too.

What is this 'running'?

...Also keep in mind that one should only swim in order to prevent drowning, and should only run if being chased. And even then, one should only run fast enough to prevent capture.

Depends who's chasing me.

Only bother with short distance!!!

100m 11.75 at 17
Got in many a football and rugby team because I was usually quickest at the trials. Where did it all go wrong?

Looking back I wish my training had taken me indoors. Had good acceleration but lost it in the last 30m. 60m indoors would have been ideal, helped at scrum half though, heard many an open side utter those immortal words "little bas*ard".
