1000 lb club sub 4:30 mile same day - possible?

[revjrm2047]

@patim22 I can get on board with that. From a running standpoint, a sub-4:30 is very good, something you should obviously be proud of. Just not elite in and of itself.

@cj68 I swam in high school and never trained track or XC and ran a 5:05 mile as a freshman

@diamonddolljeanette This is super skewed towards running. The 1000 lb club is not very hard at all and it’s more flexing that you run fast than have a lot of strength. 500+5 min mile is better IMO.

@diamonddolljeanette What is your current mile time?

@humilityfirst This

 

[diamonddolljeanette]

@praisegod68 PB is 4:22, currently mile is problaby about 4:45

@diamonddolljeanette If you can run it that fast and lift that much it's possible.

The 2 different challenges could be done 12 hours apart and not really affect each other at all.

 

[diamonddolljeanette]

@jtm7770 The point of same day is to basically emulate that your body is physically capable of both of those feats at the same time essentially

 

[jtm7770]

@diamonddolljeanette Yes I realize. It seems to me that if you train CrossFit and you are capable of doing these things separately, you should be able to do them in the same day. If you want the test to specifically be back to back you'd probably word it as "back to back." Same day can be spaced out a bit and I honestly don't see that as being a problem if you want to test it. A sub 4:30 mile is pretty elite so I doubt there are more than a handful of people in human history who are or were capable of this feat. No 1,000-lb total is nowhere near elite but it's still extremely strong for someone who is fast enough to run a 4:30 mile.

EDIT: When I say a 4:30 mile is "pretty elite" I guess I'm simply saying that it would take a lot of specialization and training focused solely on breaking that time barrier that it leaves very little to put towards anything else.

I just checked my state's high school boys state track and field championships from last year and in just 1 of the classes (there are 4 classes), 20 high school boys ran faster than 4:30 in the 1600 meter run (1 mile = 1609 m). 4:30 is nowhere near elite. I do agree with you that it's harder to get a 4:30 mile than 1000 lb club, though.

@diamonddolljeanette We talking an actual mile or a "CrossFit Mile"?

 

[romanqueen1]

@diamonddolljeanette That 4:30 mile is insanely fast for someone in the 1000 lb club. Impressive.

I’m also just as impressed by the sub 5:00/500 lbs squat feat.

 

[elshae]

@diamonddolljeanette What is your current total and your current mile time?

There is no sense in saying you are "thinking of taking on this challenge" if you are nowhere close to either.

 

[janadozz]

@diamonddolljeanette 1000 lb club is kinda below average in the lifting world. Running a 4:30 mile is very elite, just a wild comparison lol

 

[leejames929]

@diamonddolljeanette Definitely

 

[luvgodforever700]

@diamonddolljeanette Nick Bare is probably the only person I can think of that could do this.

 

[sahadul123]

@luvgodforever700 Good old steroid Nick!

 

[luvgodforever700]

@sahadul123 TRT, but yes

 

[ironside]

@luvgodforever700 He is on much more than TRT.

@luvgodforever700 Hope to change your mind!
