Actually, my two-year old gerbil did the indoor mile in 15:49. I used a piece of twine for a leash. That's some kind of record, isn't it?
She's pretty, too. Silky fur.
I'm going for a run right now, in fact. Where's that scuzzy piece of twine?
Thats some funny shit I think its f***in stupid that their have such a young child running to compete for a 3yrs olds record. Can't there be some sort of physical damage to a growing childs body or something.

Your daughters are f***tards.
My wife and I both being runners, we decided to see what our 3yr old daughter could run in mile. With splits of 4:02, 3:58, 4:03, 4:08 she completed the mile in 16:11. Anyone know what the age group record is? It's probably something rediculus like 10:00.
are you kidding me, man i entered the shot put in 8th grade track, just so i didnt have to run.
Im pretty sure that 3 year old kid that runs 30 miles a day could kick your kids ass.
From the splits,It looks like she ran that last lap a bit slower. I'd say she needs to do some longer runs to improve her fitness. Have her put in at least a 10 mile run on the weekends. During the week have her run 10 X 400 with 5-7 miles runs inbetwwen.
That should put her in record contention!
Also, get her some good spikes!
Dear lord this is either hilarious or freakish or both.
Your child could also benefit from a structured training program and a coach. Proper nutrition is also key. Local running groups from beginner to elite are found in most metropolitan areas and I'm sure your child would fit right in with others her age.
Was it a full mile, or a 1600? FAT??

It looks like she faded away fairly badly on the last lap.
This can only be explained by a sad lack of aerobic fitness. Immediately begin working towards improving her lactate threshold. 2 mile runs at about 18:06 pace per mile should do the job. For her next attempt, enlist a rabbit to hit precise marks of 3:58, 4:01 (7:59 at halfway), 4:02 (12:01) and then it's about heart. Remind her as she barrels down the final 100m at a blistering negative splitting pace that an ice cream cone at the corner store awaits for a magical sub-16:00 time.
As for the WR, a 3 year old boy ran 25:00 for 5K. I'd say your girl is, at the moment, out of luck. Keep training, add some hill repeats, and she can put records out of reach.
i can totally see someone on this board knowing the 3ry old 5k record without even looking
Ritz ran a 5:16 when he was 3 and Webb ran a 5:02.
I don't think your daughter is in their league. Sorry.

This is scary because that's exactly how we motivated her to keep going.
This 3 year old has promise, but needs to ramp up the mileage to at least 90 mile weeks as soon as possible. The Kenyans are doing much more than that beginning at around age 2. Do you know what it's V02 max is? Heart rate monitor training is much needed at this point as well. Whatever you do, do not start the EPO at this point in time.
Ha--what a loser. My 3 year old son back on July 3rd ran a 10:03. I'm sure he's well into the mid 9s by now, and he's still 3. Your daughter sucks as a runner.
Hill work. 10x300 hills in 45 sec, 3 times a week. Put her on that and she'll dust 3:43.13
16:11...that's a 9:03 Marathon equivalent. That might be some kind of record if you can find a certified course that allows a 9 hour finish. Make sure she does some long runs and maybe a few other races beforehand, so she can practice taking water, etc.
Windi-Sue Guntsch was running that pace for 10k's when she was 3. When she was four, she ran a 20k at a 12:30 pace.
Um, have to agree with BIGBOX. Couple of weeks ago saw a parent forcing their kid to run laps around a track (he was probably no more than 5) the kid was crying, but the parent kept coaxing, cajoling the kid to run. Look, I'm not saying this is the case, but I think it's creepy when parents have their kids perform like pets to see what time they can drop. Hopefully, this behavior doesn't escalate to offing competing cheerleaders so she can make the squad in high school. Just a thought.
