normal?lol last time i cheked i didnt have any mental or physical disability.....and i definetly dont dribble when i lose concentration lol

you cant be worsed runner ever if you can do it in less than 10 mins powerpusher as many cant do it that quick. 
Sort of speaks for itself.

I would doubt that the average guy on the street could run sub 10. Infact i would be surprised if the average guy on the street could run a mile without stopping at a 9 MPH race. Most would be bolloxed lol.

No idea what time I could achive as I only train for slow long distances. I would guess at 8 mins.

when i was previously fit , i could do it at about 8 mins. maybe a little less

i dont know many people that can do it in less than 10 mins , even people that consider themself fit

To give an idea of an superb time in the Army if you can get less than 8 or 7 mins you are branded sub 8 or sub 7 repectivly and get much kudos.

 I think sub 8 accounts for 1% of the whole british army and if your sub 7 they box you up and send you off to area 51 or something.

One of my friends tried out for the marines , he could do the 1.5 in under 8 mins. He was reccomended for officer training after he passed his selection until they redone his medical and wouldnt take him due to the fact he had serious scar tissue on his lungs from when he was younger as he had severe asthama when he was at school.

joining the marines was all he ever wanted to do , he was the one the put the idea in my head back then.

I had a mate in the marines, who i believe could do it in 8.15 or something close (actual terrain of course/non tread) and he was a machine. I think regular army entry level is sub 10.30... may be wrong tho.

under 8 min with scar tissue on his lungs????

just did 1.5m in 11m 26 seconds

nearly died, started off too quick and barely made it the whole distance! having barely ran in months didn't help either... lol

He was an animal until one day he had the most severe attack ever , then he stopped running and alot of sports. He used to run everywhere and do 5-10 miles a day when we were at college.

Nice run mate , horrible when you have to set a pace and get it wrong lol

cheers, i was hoping for better than that though, when i was running regularly a few months back i did 3miles in 22 minutes so was hoping for around 10 minutes... still doing lots of cardio but grappling and circuit training mostly which doesnt carry over quite as much as i thought!

hence why I always swear by getting people to train for their activity.

IE boxers can do 2 mins on 1 min off if thats how they fight on a bag or skipping running.  But it MUST be to the timings of the rounds and rest they fight at.

If anyone is training for the army and wants to get the best 10.30 time.  Do nothing but run 1.5 miles. 

Mind I do think cross over benefits are plentiful, just to perfect something you should practice that only.

Cheggers try again with a better starting pace and se how you go m8. May make a big difference.

The time just for entry into the royal marines is 1.5m in 12.30 then the 2nd 1.5m in under 9.30

Im nowhere near the 1st 15m time yet

Try starting at a steady pace and use the burst and remainder of your energy for the last bit of the run , i often judge it wrong and start out too quick
