And if you think that is a bad time, then try shattering your ankle and running after that (the 10 degrees dorsiflection doesn't help either).

I was going to say, you must be a fatty!
I guess you walk slower than you normally do?

Dwarves have very short legs. I wouldn't expect them to be able to keep up with the Normies.

Well I *am* overweight (5'10", 190), but not that much. Just prior to this I could do it in 8 minutes flat. At this point though, it has more to do with the limitations of my ankle than it does my fitness (though that certainly plays a role).

shattering your ankle, as in breaking the bones or just a sprain//twisted ankle?

You can pretty much improve your time with interval training of sprints and jogging. When I was in the ROTC, I spent half my time in PT with a sprained ankle. (I always sprained/twisted my ankle at least once a week due to carelessness.)

As in, having spiral (jagged) fractures of both bones in the ankle, with the tibia being broken apart at the joint. It simply is not the kind of injury one ever recovers completely from. Oh, and we can thank Ft Still Land Nav for this one.

I actually broke my foot and ripped off a piece of bone attached to a ligament on my hip flexor. I am down to sub-eights; before I was at six.

Umm.... how could you post something like that and not tell the story behind what happened to your leg!

Also, TTIWWP. Or X-rays. Whatever. More info!

(Congrats on the healing process).

Nothing happened to my leg, it happened to my ankle. I broke it during Army BCT last summer at Ft Sill. I had three titanium screws inserted into my tibia last October.

And god the pain is hitting, back in a few.

Okay. Dude, I was gonna say. I'm a fatass and I can run a mile in like 7:30-8:00. But good work, keep at it!
