Going by those rules, anybody deadlifting under 350lbs should be able to run a mile in something approaching world record time. I suppose The Flash can't deadlift at all - it explains his speed. Cute. Under 5 minutes for one mile is very good.

I would be interested in learning on how my explanation did not make sense.
Many folks interested in physical fitness like to find ways to challenge themselves in a quest to continue their improvement. This seems to be a straight forward challenge, which I thought I did a decent job explaining. The physical fitness forums I also visit have more people than I think are capable of competing this challenge making a claim that they can. I was wondering on an "average Joe" forum how many people could actually accomplish this feat. In general, I find this forum more honest than most, and I was just interested in the conversation from an average person's perspective.
I can spell out more details of the challenge if you like.
Deadlift 300 = 3 minute mile run
Deadlift 400 = 4 minute mile run
Deadlift 450 = 4:30 minute mile run
Deadlift 500 = 5 minute mile run
The equation is simple.
It is a demonstration of one's balance between strength training and cardio training.
There is a similar challenge where you bench press your body weight and the number of reps subtracts time from your 5k run.
Again, it is just a measure of one's balanced physical fitness.
Nobody who can deadlift 300 can run a 3:00 mile. It makes no sense.
Regarding “ if you can only dead lift 300 lbs, you won’t be running a 3 minute mile” There is a point where core strength gets disconnected from speed and overall low body weight and long legs becomes important. According to the data below, the current record holder for the mile is a Moroccan by the name of Hicham El Guerrouj. He is 5’9” tall and weighs 128 lbs. Perhaps he can dead lift 300 lbs but not sure. Here are some statistics from the web. I heard the Mile has recently been broken again. Enjoy.A few people on here get the challenge. It is not meant to be for the folks who can only deadlift 300 pounds...instead, it is a test for those well trained athletes to judge your balance between strength and cardio fitness. To parrot the response that is makes no sense just says its too hard for you, and therefor you think it is stupid.
Being a challenge means MOST PEOPLE CAN'T DO IT.
You are right...if you can only deadlift 300 pounds, you won't be running a 3 minute mile...impossible. There is a level of entry into the challenge to be able to even deadlift enough weight to have a reasonable mile time goal.
What about the guys that can deadlift 500 pounds...can they run a 5 minute mile?
Deadlift 600 pounds and run a 6 minute mile?
Those are certainly possible, and as I mentioned many people on the fitness forums claim to be able to do it, more than seems possible...I was just wondering if average Joe BITOG member could come close?
I see the most 5 minute milers at a race when you line up by your expected finish time. I'm further back though. Usually when you look at the race results, there are only a very few people that can do 5 minute miles, usually less than a hand full.A few people on here get the challenge.

Mile hasn't been broken. 20yr old Norwegian runner ran 3:47 over the weekend, that's about itRegarding “ if you can only dead lift 300 lbs, you won’t be running a 3 minute mile” There is a point where core strength gets disconnected from speed and overall low body weight and long legs becomes important.

OK, so what's the reasonable entry level? 600/6:00? I understand mile times but admit ignorance about deadlift.There is a level of entry into the challenge to be able to even deadlift enough weight to have a reasonable mile time goal.

No. DL 415, 1m runtime around 6:30.I've been seeing a few more videos about this recently...just wondering how many "average gym joe's" can run their deadlift.
To define:
Within an hour of each other
Deadlift max weight
Run 1 mile
If your deadlift is 550 pounds, you need to run a 5:30 mile.
If your deadlift is 600 pounds, you need to run a 6 minute mile.
etc.
very nice numbers!No. DL 415, 1m runtime around 6:30.
