Panzerlord Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 First!!! I jus started : I run about a mile a day and walk a half mile to cool down after "Don't push me; what's the hurry?" - Imogen Heap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noble_aloof Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 to people who don't often get active, running your first mile is basically 9 to 12 minutes of hell, if you can make it through your first serious workout without complaining, you have taken the first true step into the body of an athlete.

Mr_Adam Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I'm doing spring track to get in shape for soccer. Distance. pretty much avg. 5 miles a day, 6+ on Saturdays. I like it - but I hate meets. I can't keep a fast enough pace long enough. But during practices I'm the one who runs most and fastest :wall: Anyway, My best mile is only 6:13, and my 800 (set it today) is 2:44:9. Not great, but I don't entirely mind too much, as long as I improve. Only a few meets left though. And the over-me-classmen (I'm a freshman) all know me as well. Apparently I look like some guy, last name Rooney, who did track before... but he was really bad ("if they add the first name, you're f***ed" said the one who started it). And I'm the kid who stiffarmed another to beat him (I lost a second... and lost). :roll: Instincts. I'll probably do winter next year, and maybe Cross-Country if I don't make the soccer team (and don't commit suicide) PS. Our captain is a god. He's faster than the sprinters and does distance. He's endorsed by Puma. I think he has a 3 summit min. mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zygimantas Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I'm in 8th. I love running the mile, my best time is 5:44. I have improved sufficiently over the past few years, in 6th grade my best time on the mile was 8:32. 99 Hunter - November 1st, 200899 Cooking -July 22nd, 200999 Firemaking - July 29th, 201099 Fletching - December 30th, 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinkbullet3 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I'm a HS junior (Illinois) and I run Cross Country (in the fall). Average runner. I find it fun, and it's good to know that you're keeping in shape during the fall season. I'll add more if this thread still survives into fall 2009. :) ^ Blog.

I think he has a 3 summit min. mile. we had a kid like that. he was a freshman named jake. he would run his race pace at practice and would attempt to beat the best freshman (lol) he dropped the baton in his first 4 by 8 and his best mile was a 6:29? he never really improved. one day jake challenged me to a "race" for our two mile recovery run. i ran the first mile in 5:50 and the second in 5:55.. it takes 12:00 to qualify for districts in the 3200. so basically if the coach saw me i could have qualified for the two mile, but i'll save my energy for next XC season [size="5"][font="Georgia"][b]Staking:[/b][/font][font="Palatino Linotype"][color="#FF0000"][/color][color="#FFFF00"][/color][color="#00FF00"] 4+ mil[/color][/font] [font="Georgia"][b]Current Status:[/b][/font][font="Palatino Linotype"][color="#FF0000"][/color][color="#0000FF"] Training defense [/color][/font][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Adam Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I have a good pace when it comes to practice, but it's too slow to be an effective race pace. And I can't run faster long enough. I just do worse at meets :wall: And this Rooney only looks like me, remember. But most people just say all red-heads look the same. :P Ughhh... track meet today. Ran terrible, 30 seconds into the mile I twisted my ankle, ended up getting a 5:45 :wall: Got a 2:39 in 800, didn't PR there either. Current 1600 PR: 5:39 Current 800 PR: 2:30 Current 400 PR: 1:01 2nd best distance runner on my middle school team. That's great for middle school. I wish our middle school had made me do track lol. Apparently they had a track team but I didn't know 'till like yesterday. PS. this track season is the first time I've done track/effectively run. The rest of the distance team did soccer in the fall, and one Freshman who did track since like 6th grade (he's pretty much a captain but he's freshman... he's a great guy). Then there's me and two others who've never really run before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariusman Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Skatepank has a point, I think there's a rule about calling a thread "The Official [insert whatever here] Thread". I'm going to start running once summer starts, mainly to get in much better shape for hockey, rugby, and football. Two years ago, I tried long distance running, and found that despite being out of shape, I can still give a decent performance. I figure that if I was in better shape, I'd be a great longer, it almost seems to me like my body is made for running. Almost all of my strength is in my legs, I'm tall, and find that I have pretty good endurance. And yes, I think everyone loves running. Except indoors, that is horrible. There's no such thing as regret. A regret means you are unhappy with the person you are now,and if you're unhappy with the person you are, you change yourself. Thatregret will no longer be a regret, because it will help to form the new,better you. So really, a regret isn't a regret. It's experience.

i_love_burritos Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Unless you count a ungracious, epileptic wobbling as running then yeah, I run. If I even jog for 15 minutes, I'm flat on my face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I even jog for 15 minutes, I'm flat on my face. if your ever looking to be able to do a healthy jog, start off by running 5 minutes and walking 5 minutes. very good for beginners who are out of shape.

mlskid Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I run track. Fun stuff... Just had a track meet today at a local high school (my school does NOT have a track for it's own personal use... >.<) and we came in 4th place.... yes out of 4 teams so what? I run in the 4X8 relay... we came in first in that, time of like 10:15?(something close to that. My split in the 4X8 was something like 2:37? I think that is my PR (only had 3 track meets so far, the rest were cancelled...) Then I ran in the 300m hurdles... for the first time ever. I fell once, lol, but I stayed in my lane and got back up and finished.I don't know my time, I was just happy I finished the race.... I only fell once.... another kid from my school fell twice last meet. Then we ran the 4X4 and came in second on that one...I can't remember our time. So those are my times. l Really suck at track lol. Summoning help:[hide=Wio, lol][/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
