I can do 5 min miles too, your be surprised how quickly marathon runners can consistantly run per mile at!! IIRC a good pro can run a 5 min mile for every mile in the 26

i done the 1500 meters at school in 5min30sec. so add 15 seconds onto that for an extra 100m to make a mile. 5min45....lets round it upto 6 because i legged the last 200. 6mins a mile should be 20 mins

What's the average that Radcliffe can run at? 26 miles / ?hrs. Would be interesting. They said 13mph on the Chris Moyles Show this morning, but not sure if thats accurate!

I have walked 4/5 miles today and yesterday which took me about an hour. I don't think I could be running that far just now

No not many at all...my forte as a nipper was sprinting distances and all the way up to 1500 metres.

Anything above that just bored me to tears...
