My legs are dead....

[dopcombo]

I just ran 3km. Woohoo!

Feeling good, and hopefully I can pass my fitness test on Dec 3. Gotta run 2.4km in less than 12:40.

Just thought I'd share with everyone.

 

[rodneyxiii]

You should be able to do that. How old are you?

 

[meltdown75]

Approximately 1 mile in 12'40" is not that difficult (5 mph). I am also guessing it is on a treadmill.

Actually he has to run a mile and a half. It's a little more than an 8 min/mi pace

i did my two miles in 13 min, but again that was high school. well keep up the good work man you can pull it off

 

[PatboyX]

[Goosemaster]

Congrats, I rode my bike 45 miles last Saturday and did another 20 miles on Sunday.

Not for someone just starting, no... but some workouts are geared towards raising the heartrate while lifting.

oh, I though he was joking...

I run to warm myself up and get the heart pumping. IT is usually fvkign freezing around here.

My primary outlet for excercise is swimming, and I figured runnign and lifting would make me stronger and hence work harder and geta a better workout in the pool;...

i had to do that when i was 18. Did it in just over 9:00, although i doubt i could do it now

 

[Hubes]

whats that 1.5 miles? Running 8mph for 1.5 miles is a pretty good run. Good Luck

 

[xSkyDrAx]

1 and 1/2 miles in 12 minutes 40 is easily do-able even if you're going an 8/9 minute mile pace.

 

[RaDragon]

I'm 29 and running at a 9 minute pace for more than a mile is tough. I could run faster during my younger years, though (as fast as 7-min/mile pace for 3 miles.)

Anyway, GJ OP.

 

[rh71]

try playing 8 games of tournament ice hockey in 24 hours. (Yes we played in the AM hours too)

Cut them off before gangrene spreads!

I'm 27 this year. It's hell cos I work in an office environment and the only exercise I get everyday is walking to the carpark and walking to lunch.

I used to be able to this run in under 10 minutes back when I was 18 and fit.

Now I just wanna pass it.

Oh, and it's on open track. Depends where I take the test. Some places make me run 6 rounds around the olympic track, but that really sucks cos it's so mentally straining.

 

[her209]

Kilometers?
