It never ceases to amaze me of how easy and how effective this ***diet*** is!!
I have since re-gained a bit of weight, but that is soon to be coming off again!

Re: How fast are you!?
I can maintain 18- 20 miles per hour on the flat on a pedal cycle!
Running? Don't believe in it!Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
he said, 'Don't count calories.'

Re: How fast are you!?
My pace at my last 5K in mid-Jan was an 11:50 mile, but that was before restarting Atkins (for the 3rd time), when I was eating a bunch of carbs. I'm sure it will be slower on my first 10K which is this coming Saturday.

Re: How fast are you!?
I have no idea how you can do that 2big. I've tried and the fastest I can walk is 4.5 MPH before I have to run to keep up with the belt.Originally posted by 2big4mysizeComment

Re: How fast are you!?
Seconding Wanna... seriously, 7.5 MPH?! That's crazy. I even when I'm at 4.5 (that's my cooldown).
I average about 11 minutes a mile when I'm doing a decent distance. If I'm just gonna run a mile or two, it's about 10 minutes a mile.Comment

Re: How fast are you!?
I'm right in there with the 9-11 minute mile. It depends on the day and the distance.

Re: How fast are you!?
Ok, so what's the question. How fast can you run 1 mile if you only run 1 mile? There would be a difference in time if you did a 1 mile run compared to a 5K (and only counted the time for the first mile) run wouldn't there?Comment

Re: How fast are you!?
11 - 12 minute mile. I'm not in it for the speed. If I was just to run 1 it would be around 10Comment

Re: How fast are you!?
I'm currently at 15 min. per mile. Looking at the rest of the posts, I better kick it in gear!!
I am going to be running my first 5K May 6, and its so ironic the name of the race is "The Flying Pig Marathon"
Does anyone have any suggestions of what to eat for good energy come race day?
