Re: So I just ran ~4 miles in 20 minutes

a 21 minute 5k is pretty good, a 19 minute 5k is really good. 4 miles in 20 minutes is insane, totally unbelievable.

It's obvious to anyone that knows times with track that running 4 miles in 20 minutes uphill is impossible. Unless somehow Manti is the next olympic star and somehow became the best runner ever to live. I'm sure he ran it in like 28 minutes or so. He prolly just named it 20 to make it have the 20 figure.

Where the hell did you find a hill that goes up four miles? and.. Are you sure it wasn't a mountain?

Rofl, the flamz r killing me. No, i didn't run 4 miles uphill. I think gravity would come into play somewhere along there.

Treadmill, set grade elevation for 7.5, run. It said 3.8 miles, but I consider that pretty darn close to 4.

Oh and I stopped twice to tie my shoe, and one of those times drop the kids off at the pool, so If you want to add those it was more like 22 - 23 minutes.

My school has a 4.5 mile uphill run, but it isn't straight uphill. I don't think anyone on the team in my entire school's history has ever gotten close to a 25:00. There have been some that did it in 28:00, but not 25:00.

Re: So I just ran ~4 miles in 20 minutes

lol everyone is freaking out

"steroids!"
"lies!"
"impossible!"
"witchcraft!"

all fake quotes of course
most definitely due to inaccuracy in the measurement of time and distance
not worthy of hysteria or flames

its an estimation.
relax...

blahblah about olympics...
blahblah about world records...

~means about/around/approximately
20 min does not necessarily mean exactly 1200 seconds
if i say "ill be back in twenty min" at 4:30 you should not expect me to explode through the door at precisely 4:50

im gonna accuse you of lying because i feel insecure and threatened by the possibility of super human speed and endurance up hills!
if he went uphill he had to have come downhill at some point in order to get back home to his comp. (unless he didnt go home).
besides, what kind of hill slopes upward for 4 miles?

this is just a ballpark distance and a ballpark time for a run that was at some point in time uphill.
cry yourself to sleep if you cant accept that

Well, if youre gonna say treadmill itd be nice to specify that in the initial post.

In middle school I did track, and my best SINGLE mile was 6:11. lol

But seriously, I could have set the treadmill for a grade elevation of 0.0000000000000000001 (if it had one) and it still would have been "uphill".

You people and your semantics.

Well, you cant expect people to not come to their own conclusions when you get wildy vague details, if any.

Semantics, imaginations running wild.

Hardly glass houses. At least I provided proof. You omitted some pretty necessary details. If you knew anything about running you'd realize why your claim was so outrageous as it initially was. Treadmills are infinitely easier than pushing your own weight forward on solid ground -- the machine doesn't give a rip where you are, it will just report the distance and time statically independent of your running. I assure you, trying that same run in reality would be a little more difficult than you think, and even if you had the stamina, it certainly would not be around 20 minutes uphill.
