Mick Jagger: How fast could he have run the mile?

Mick was more a street fighting man.

You meant to say no Englishman has ever run faster than you without doping.

If Adele was throwing around heavy weight for 2.5 hour concerts every night, it would be a valid question.

You've clearly never seen Mick on stage.

And you’ve clearly never seen a sub 4 miler train.

Mick knows how to take drugs too.

Mick ain't running at all right now. He's in the medical tent getting attended to.

I saw a recent photo of Jagger and his current girlfriend somewhere on the net today.

The guy was hideous looking. He looked like a crocodile.

But I wish him best of luck on his surgery.

Do you think if Mick was an average 75 year old guy, average money, no fame, that he would have such a young girlfriend? Why would a woman do that? What does that say about her? What does that say about him? Money and fame doesn't buy you respect?

Getting ready for tour in 1981 he was running 7 miles a day as reported by The Runner magazine. He's 5-9 and was 125. His dad was a phys ed teacher and he fairly athletic as a youth.

I would bet in his day in his late 20's if he laid off the drugs and smokes for 6 months he could have broke 4:40.

I usually find that when a random runner tells me they run "x" miles per day, it is about half of that in reality.

I agree. I use Mick and Steven Tyler as examples when discussing women and their fixation on fame, power and money. Usually these women deny any of it, until I as if Steven Tyler or Mick Jagger were plumbers, would they find them attractive?

So far, just blank stares.

You got that right! If you've got the dough you're in the show with young, very attractive, impressionable women:

Not sure...but he was quite the rock climber back in the day
