So how long would it take to jog 6 miles
During rush hour, starting at 5pm, the route is pretty straight, its from my work place to home
There is a huge roundabout to negotiate as well as a huge ring road with a multitude of side roads and obviously pedestrians to dodge
-
20 mins.

20 mins.
I seriously doubt 30 mph
-
Over an hour. I do 1 mile every 10 minutes at a decent pace.

I seriously doubt 30 mph
It would be 18, but even then it would be pretty fast!! :grin:
I'd say about 45 - 50 mins
-
20 mins.
I seriously doubt 30 mph
Come on, get a move on.
-
Have to give it another few weeks before i try that
Only started the other day, 3 mile jog, stopping 4-5 times, took me over an hour
Seriously out of shape
-
If you go 4, 5 and 6 mph increments, do it over time frames you will get fitter faster. I walk 5 minutes, walk faster for 3 minutes then run 5 minutes (fast jog) and repeat with the slow walk being 3 minutes after the first time.
-
Also jog on the path not through the traffic! :laugh:
I used the method Jules has said above, it worked a treat as i had a heart op and couldnt go flat out straight away built up, now i run like forrest gump everywhere!
-
It would be on the path, when i mean traffic, i mean cars/bikes turning into side roads and turning out of side roads etc that would get in the way
Will try Jules' method and see how I get on
If i can do it in 60-90 minutes then I would not mind jogging home from work, any longer it would be a pain
-
I'm sure you could easily do 10minutes miles, so no more than an hour.
-
when i used to play rugby we used to do an 8 mile jog as a warm up, that normally took less than 50 mins, so ide be saying a hour max.
unless you havent done excercise for a long time in which case ide say 1.5 hours for 2 months then closer to a hour

Are you f**king serious?! An 8 mile WARM UP JOG!? What level did you play at? I'd say that is a slightly excessive warm up routine! Also 8miles in 50 minutes works out at under 7minutes miles...You do not 'jog' 7 minute miles for 8 miles.

50mins was proberbly a bit of an exageration actually, was proberbly around the hour mark for the backs and maybe 5 or 10 mins longer for the forwards
well i used to play for three teams;
one team came 11th best in a tournament that included school and college teams from all over europe
one team came second in an international tournament playing against teams such as frances, argentinas, south africas, scotland and other international u17s team (We were only u16s at the time and had to lie to the tournament "bosses" or what ever there called to be able to play into the tournament (possibly would have won if we did what the other teams did and went to bed at about 11 oclock each night of the weekend final/semifinal/quater final part of the tournament instead of drinking untill 3am then getting up at 6am for the tournament)) and now some of the lads are playing 1st or 2nd team rugby getting payed for it
and county was county rugby.
but the coatches of the club rugby used to be into his fitness big time (1 coatch was a ex 2nd row and used to do all the building up power and muscle stuff, his wife was a physio therapist/personal trainer so would do all the fitness side and the other coatch was a mix of beasting you flipping a tracktor tyre the width of the pitch and fitness making you do big runs and stuff.
you know when basket ball players do shuttle runs on the basket ball court going to the key then to the D then to the half way ... he would make us do that but with every line on a rugby pitch and instead of touching the line we would have to get down and do 1 pressup(doesent seem hard but when your doing that sorta thing pushing your own body weight up gets hard).
so it wasnt a massively serious level, but everyone took it serious, and some of the lads from the club it has payed off for

anywho back to the OP
why not just take your gym kit one day next week and try it out, if you think its too much of a chew on with all the pedestrians/it taking too long then just go to the gym after work or once you get in go for a jog.
-
anywhere between 7-8 min mile is a good speed to aim for
-
got to be a question for this lady i guess
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=OdYTj5CChaA
cant be arsed watching it again but she runs a mile in 9 minutes?
-
Mcgee, enough about rugby and running, PM me back biatch!

Hope your work has showers :laugh:

how are you going to get there?
-
Bus or tube I imagine!
-
an hour is a good marker to aim for 6 miles for a beginner
i used to do it in about 45 minutes but i never got up to the sub 4 min mark which i wanted to achieve
if you are going to be running on a regular basis get yourself to a running shop and pick up some decent running shoes.. they will make the world of difference. expensive but worth it!
-

how are you going to get there?
Overground
I guess if it gets tough i just hop on the bus

dont, even if you have to walk the last mile, compleate it, if you say that you will get on a buss half way through theres no point because youle just end up wussing out of it every day. jog as far as you can, walk then jog a little bit further.
-
if you havent done it for a long time then DONT just jump into a 6 mile run, walk a mile, run for 3 then walk the final 2, if you just try and demand too much straight away then youll just hurt yourself, sicken yourself and end up not keeping it up.
also best advice ive read so far is invest in a good pair of trainers. if you have an android/iphone then get runkeeper to keep track of your progress.

How you doing on this? Picked up some nike free+ 5.0's to help me (makes a huge difference) and a nike app. Managed 3 miles comfortably in 28 minutes last night so you should be able to do 6 in an hour. Got my 6 mile charity run this weekend, so need to make 5 before then, do the extra on the day.

Getting there, 3rd week in, 3 days a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Keeping a log on the comp to see how I progress
So far been doing 3 miles and the time has been getting less and less, last Friday and this Monday I did 4 miles, so far so good. Can jog further and further each time without stopping, Monday managed nearly 2 miles without slowing down to a walk. Hoping for better today.
-
I'd join you for the run to work, but I fear we may end up looking like these two!

Quick question
Cross trainers or Dedicated Running shoes?
Not on a treadmill so was told to get Cross Trainers
-
I got these, they are awesome on everything

if you are purely running then it would have to be running shoes...
the best thing to do is to go into a specialist running shop and ask them
