15 minutes at 15kph, possibly more. (level 15)

I do about 3 miles in 12 mins.

very very fast

I do 4.5km in 30mins... the speed varies between 7.7 (jog) and 10.5 (sprint/run)..Dont know if those are in kph or just levels though.

12kph warmup for 5 mins then 15-16kph for 10-15 mins, but then i get bored of the gym atmosphere so go and swim instead

Yeah I generally find it quite boring, only form of entertainment is to turn it up a notch every few mins.

Indeed, hence why i prefer to run outdoors and beat a time.

You'll never get any faster if you run at below 10.

9.5 isn't a run, it's about 6mph which is a fair jog. I get so bored on treadmills. I'd do about 10 minutes on 10kmh, then 5 on 12kmh and then i'll go for something a bit more intensive and run on 17kmh for 2 minutes. I just find it so boring though - even with music. I once was curious to see how fast the treadmill went but decided to cease my curiousity at 20kmh. Cross trainers i seem to find much easier and doing 15kmh on a cross trainer is nothing like "running" 15kmh on a treadmill.

I do about 3 miles in 12 mins.

The world record for men is 12:37.35 set by Ethiopian Kenenisa Bekele.

I have the feeling that you are chatting ****.

I don't use treadmills much, but the last time i was on i ran 5k in about 24 mins. I think it was 13kph, but probably wrong.

I've just changed my treadmill workout from 5.5kph for 2mins then 11kph for 15 mins to 5.5 kph (5mins) then 15kph(5mins) and then 5kph (2mins) all on incline!
