There's no "I have ran".
"Have" signifies past tense, so there's no need to use another past tense verb such as "ran".
What's your mile time?

I bet you're a lot of fun at parties and other social gatherings.
I bet you frequently embarrass yourself by saying things like "I done that" and "I seen her."
I am pretty sure nobody will ever ask you that question.
So don't worry about it.

He has no friends so no parties.
Did you ever try to go for it when you were in 3:36 shape? If not, why not - it's such a great talking point, would have been worth it.
Do you honestly think no one has taken fatigue into account when they created the conversion tables?
If it converts to 4:30, then say 4:30 if someone asks. No one cares about that conversion. You just can't say you ran 3:59 from a conversion.
