Actually running backwards for 4 laps (not in the reverse direction on the track) Someone's got to have tried this. Can anyone break 6 min?
Before anyone asks, yes I am bored.

i actually remember reading a few years back about a guy that ran 6:06 or so for the backwards mile. read it in the guiness book, but i can't remember which year it was. not sure if it has been broken, but it should at least give you a ballpark time.
looks like it has dropped a few seconds from when i last saw it. this should help.
So the half-mile record is 3:23 and the mile record is 6:02? Riiight.
Thats sick, someone ran a marathon backwards in 3:53.
Nice to Morselli Running well!
Not even well known by locals. Ran 3:53:17 at the Glass City Marathon. Other Guinness WRs: 21:50, 45:37, and 32.78 for 200m.
The mile record? 6:02.35, by a guy from India in 2002.
