If any of you out there lift and DO NOT consider yourself a “runner”, but know what your one-mile time is, please post it here.
Part-time and indeed full-time runners need not apply. I’m just taking an informal poll on your times if you don’t run habitually but still know your approximate mile time.
I used to run sub-six minute miles on the treadmill before workouts. I was told it would help me get ripped. I’ve got flat feet so it hurt like hell. Then I found out that running like that before lifting will hinder your progress and that with my total lack of foot arch It’ll cripple me. So I don’t run farther than 100 yards unless I’m gonna miss a flight or something.
Back when I actually ran, I could do 1 mile close to 5 minutes. I stopped running for my bulk, and with the combined 70 lb gain on top of losing overall running endurance, I’d say 6 - 8 minutes. I’m not sure. I actually got a ton faster in short sprints due to a great strength increase in the legs from squats and whatnot.

And that’s really why I am looking for these numbers. I’m trying to see what you guys are running who’ve actually added significant mass to thier frames.
