Are You Faster Than Me?

Nope. I'd like to be, and I think I may at some point...but I suppose most young runners think that.

You will be as long as you continue to work hard and do the right things.

Good luck man, I hope you run much faster than me.

you have me in the marathon by a minute. My mile time is 4:09. The other two I have you by a few seconds.My PBs are behind me though in all except the marathon...hopefully.

I am curious as to how many LetsRunners are faster than me.

PRs:

Mile: 4:16

5k: 14:48

10k: 30:06

Marathon: 2:28

I could run most of these right now, but I am not sure about the mile, I haven't raced one in a while.

5k a little weak compared to your 10k

Get out there and start training for your next Marathon.

I don't feel like I have run up to my potential in the marathon, so if you have run faster than me in the others, I know you can waste me in the marathon.

I agree...

...actually know that I think of it - my 5k is 14:40 and my 10k is 30:09 so you have me in the 10k.

We would be good training partners!

You Me

4:16 - 4:09

14:48 - 14:40

30:06 - 30:09

2:28 - 2:29

Not using normal handle. I have slightly faster PRs in the mile and marathon. You have significantly better times in the 5K and 10K. Doesn't matter much as you would totally blow my lazy ass away in anything right now. I have hopes of coming back sometime, though. Before you encourage me to get after it (which is cool), let me tell you to keep up the good work. It's just my opinion, but I think your times would put you in the top 5-10% of LRers. Lots of faster but a ton of not as fast. There are a lot more lurkers than you would guess.

Are you a girl?

I was waiting for this...

If the OP is a girl, they are not a north american girl as no woman here has gone 30:06.

and I am not faster than wondering runner!

I'm not, but about 99% on this site are...

Depends on how old you were when you ran those. My 18 year old pr's (before I quite running at age 19, I began running again 10 years later but did not return to racing) are as follows....

1,500 - 3:52

3,000 - 8:18

5,000 - 15:05

8,000 - 24:23

10 mile - 52:17

High liklihood I was faster than you when we were both 18... but you got me in "overall" because I didn't hang around long enough to reach my full potential.

Wondering Runner: you do realize that 90% of those who respond to your question are those who are actually close to or better than your times? The vast majority of letsrun posters have never seen the sunny side of 16:00 for 5k or 2:35 for a marathon. If those times are legit, you're in the 5th letsrun percentile, I'd estimate.

And no, I am most definitely not as fast as you.

nope:

4:16 - 4:27

14:48 - 16:00

30:06 - N/A

2:28 - N/A

im 16 tho i guess, got a lot of time to work on it:P

There is a periodic thread that lists everyone's PR's, so you could just search for that and not go looking for people to stroke the ego...

Your amazing, I wish I was that fast..........Lick a dick, who cares about your times just race.

Not many I'd wager. I believe more have better grammar skills and would have ended the sentence with an "I" rather than "me." I'm feeling pedantic today.
