Are You Faster Than Me?

um, yeah, way faster.

Mile - Yes

5k - yes

10k - no

Marathon - haven't run one

nope

nope

nope

nope

feel better now?

I'm faster! Just by a little bit though.

PRs:

Mile: 4:15

5k: 14:47

10k: 30:05

Marathon: 2:27

I couldn't run most of these right now, but I'm sure about the mile, I have raced one recently.

I got 4:15

I'd guess closer to top 1% of letsrun. Judging by the puerile humor, lack of worldliness, and ignorant opinions about politics, etc., most posters are in high school. High schoolers don't run 30:06. And people that post their times are generally either among the fastest on letsrun or lying.

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.

Hey you!

GRAND VALLEY STATE UNIVERSITY SUCKS HARD BALLS!

No, but thanks for asking. My 8K time is a little faster than your 10k time though :)

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

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

Yes in the mile and 5. no in everything else.

You've got me on all fronts, but FYI, it should be "Are you faster than I?"

When I ran my 5& 10k road PB's, which was a long time ago, they would have been world records for women. They weren't, so I'm not! THanks for asking though!

The OP's 10k is much stronger than all his other times.

You're a real bad-ass. Wonder no more.

No, "are you faster than me" is correct.

"John and I went to shop" is correct. "Me and John went to the shop" is incorrect, but this doesn't mean that a sentence is always correct if one replaces you with I.

Would anyone care to elaborate?

Yeah, I think so. Then again, I'm faster than most guys. Send us both into a club Keys to the VIP style and I'd bet a million I'd come out with a lovely lady before you do.

you would not use an i there my friend. nice try.

Well. I'm 'faster' than you if you're running a mile and I'm running the 400m. You pip me if I'm running the 800 though. lol.

My PR's are:

4:17

14:58

31:13

2:42

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

Is it:

Are you faster than me (am)?

Are you faster than I (am)?

Are you faster than us (are)?

Are you faster than we (are)?

Pretty close

mile - 4:18

5K - 14:51

10K - 31:19

Marathon - 2:27:51

Seems like there are a lot of good training partners out there.

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.

Out of all the stupid posts on LetsRun, this one takes the cake....

I was going to be an astronaut, but I dropped out of school at age 17. High likelihood I was smarter than most astronauts at age 17, but I never stuck around to reach my full intellectual potential.
