Personal Records Running
Ran my farthest distance today, 24km. Curious who on the board is into running and what some of your personal records are? Mine are 10k 45 min, Half Marathon 1:43. Working to better these numbers long term.

Re: Personal Records Running
I'm not likely to break any of my PRs, unless I run yet longer races. I can barely remember them, mostly from high school and college.
1 mile: about 4:50
5K: 16:40
10K: about 42 minutes (on a track, boring!)
15K: about 1:10
10 mile: 62 minutes. I won that race.
Half Marathon: about 1:35
Marathon: 3:14 or so
50K: about 6 hours. I get so spacy by that point that I don't really pay attention. I did not win.
50 mile?
100K?
100 mile?
Yes it turned out to be a slippery slope. Luckily for me it's an uphill slope so I'm not likely to find out those last 3!

Re: Personal Records Running
I had to look it up since I haven't raced since 2012. Real runners--avert your eyes. 
5K 26m
10K 71m
half 2:18
In my defense, I didn't start running until my 40s. I still suck, but at least I'm trying to get my old fat ass moving. I timed my 10K run last week and it came in at 75m, so I'm inching closer to where I was.

Re: Personal Records Running
My running ...
From a bear: never
From a cougar: never (either 4-footed or 2-footed)
I don't like running any more. I was a track athlete in high school, but what I did 30+ years ago seems irrelevant.
In Crossfit a couple years ago, loosely timed, loose distances, I was running 100m in 14-16 sec, 200m in about 40 sec, 400 m in about 160-180 seconds, 800m in about a half hour (felt like, at least), a mile--finished it! 5K in maybe 30 minutes give or take, walked about 100 ft of it.

Re: Personal Records Running
No competitions and no official PRs, but roughly ...
400m: 64 seconds on a 200m indoor track (age 29 or 30)
5k: Sub-20' (age 19, many years and 20+ lbs ago)
Approximate half marathon, self-supported (camelbak): 2:10 (wasted 10 minutes changing socks in the middle)
44k walk: About 6:30
More importantly, I stopped running regularly(*) when I was 22 or so. That REALLY came back to bite me whenever I tried to pick it up subsequently. It used to be that I could spend 2 weeks training myself up to past speeds with only a couple of days of soreness to push through. But that was 20 year ago. Now I have to follow a 10%/week tops rule to avoid all kinds of complications that usually end in *-itis. After spending several months building up to being able to run for 60 minutes without joint issues, I try to pound my joints semi-regularly to maintain some kind of running capability now (age 39).
(*) I usually did 5k/day at a 6:30 minute per mile pace.

Re: Personal Records Running
1 mile: ~5:45
5k: ~18:50
10k: ~44 min
It's been about 12 years since I ran competitively. A part of me thinks I could get back to that level (I feel like I understand effective self-improvement much better than I did in high school when I pretty much just half-assed it), but haven't had much reason to.

Re: Personal Records Running
10k in 45 minutes give or take a few seconds. I was pretty pleased with that level of fitness and trained for only 3 months (from total couch potato). I've always wanted to run further but lack the time for training since I started commuting 8 miles by bicycle.
I did try running my commute recently and it wasn't a fun experience.

Re: Personal Records Running
Yeah, bicycling is not a direct sub for running. But it does help, as I can bike for hours with no soreness and no "itis" injuries (thanks Jacob!), so it builds up my stamina. And the same muscles used in bicycle hill climbing are also used in running hills so it helps me that way. But nothing seems to prepare me for the landing impact of running like running. I do try to take shorter steps now after reading Born to Run. I think I could do my ultras better now, but I don't want to spend so much of my time training for them.
