The speed walking record is about 7 mins 48 per mile over 3 miles.

Impressive, but very odd... A bit like doing one-handed weightlifting!

I know that we have at least one retired speed-walking athlete on the forum, but can't remember who it is.

I am slightly curious to know how quickly I could cover a mile now without any training. If I can walk one in (say) 14 minutes, then surely with a few bursts of jogging I could get that down to 11-12? I would seize up afterwards though!

I think the issue would be shin splints if you tried too much too soon. I haven’t run for a long time. But even in school days I didn’t get under 5 mins for the mile. Not that anyone ever trained for PE as kids

A lot faster than that. About 6 minute miles I believe.

I saw the speed walking in the 2012 Olympics. Ridiculous speeds.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was still lurking just under a different user name, but that is only my thoughts

Not banned. Not happy with something or other and jumped ship.

Isn't talking about ex posters, who can't answer, against the rules. Or does that apply only to those who kicked off before leaving?

Pity if he has gone. I suspect i've probably missed something as i was largely inactive during the past few months only making a post here and there. Bit busy you see...

Oh well, People come, People go...
