I go for runs every so often, and never actually time myself. So far all I have is from a test in gym, which I ended up running 2400m in 9 minutes. The test was running 2800m (Seven laps of our track), and once I started lap 7 and realized I had 3 minutes to go, I decided to save my energy for my rugby practice. So I managed to run what ended up being just about a 6 minute mile. For a very relaxed pace, would this be considered good? I felt like I could have kept up that pace for at least another half hour, and probably could've stepped up the speed too. I'll try to get a timed run for a 5 mile run around the track soon, cause I've always wondered how good of a runner I am. I should mention I'm 16, 6'3" and 190lbs. So 1.5 mile in 9 minutes, is that any good?

Did a 2.5 mile run for Cross country and I ran 20:53. Then again, we're all out of shape somewhat...and it was after a hard work out on the track...Probably could have cut a minute off of it.

I have my first cross country meet on Friday. I believe the course is 2.1 miles with a couple of hills. I'm looking forward to participating in my first cross country race. :thumbsup:

 

 

 

Are you in Junior High? Our races are 3.1...

First meet is this Saturday... We'll see how that goes. This year coach wants me to be an all-conference sophmore. meh.

I'm a senior in high school. This course is short, I've heard the rest are 5 km.

I did 7 laps yesterday in my weight training class. Ran 4, walked 3.

Anyway, it turns out me and Pink ran in the same race last year. LOL. But today, I ran my first meet of the year in an 18:12. My friend on the team, also a sophmore, ran a winning time of 15:56.

:twss: :twss: :twss:

2 more weeks will my first meet...Which comes down to a lot more hard practices.

 

 

 

Shocking part is we have a team of 20ish runners, We NEVER break 20.

Well, I just got into running, as I am going to take up rowing, and need to get uber fit.

 

Started light on Monday and Tuesday, running 3 ks, then told in the afternoon on Tuesday I now have to run with the team I am hoping to get into on Thursday (today).

 

I ran 10k's this morning. [cabbage] I am out of it, but I did pretty well. Quite hilly too...

 

Least I know what I can do... So now I'm going to run 5 ks on normal days, then do that on Tuesday and Thursday when I run with them.

 

Yay.

Had my second meet today. It was a 5k; my 3 mile was 17:35 (a new pr) and I finished in 18:05. The fresh-soph team took second place overall, and our varsity owned with 1, 4, 6, 14, and 15th place finishes.

 

 

 

Also, I bought a nice pair of adidas [bleep]es yesterday (and got a free t-shirt and bag :) )

I ran my first 5K today. My time was 21:06. I was in 20 something place and just missed medaling. :cry:

hey all. sorry i haven't been getting on much.

 

my first real race of the season was a 5k invitational with teams from all over the area invited. i was 96th out of 314 people (all guys, might i add) and my time was 20:02. i did pretty well

 

 

 

i also ran a regular schoolastic race last week, i was 27th and my time was in the low 19's. there were easily over 100 guys in this race. unbelievably i was still the 11th runner on our team. competition is very intense.

I had my first cross country race last Thursday. Coach surprises me on the Monday of that week saying your running.

 

 

 

Ran a 14:44 for 2.3 Miles with a hill that goes 200-300 meters up that is steep. Could be 400 meters also...couldn't really tell.

Which course did you run at?

 

 

 

And I'm thinking of purchasing a set of [bleep]es for the first time, so... Gotta look into that.

 

 

 

I had a meet at Lake Park yesterday; finished 35th overall @ 18:32 in the jr/sr race (not varsity) and NNHS got 3rd for that race.

while you guys are talking about [bleep]es, i might as well add that i'm using the nike bowerman blue/black this year and i'm not too happy with them. they were expensive and my socks get completely ruined if there is mud on the course. they're pretty light weight but next year i won't be getting another pair of nikes

O_O What place did you get and in which race?!

 

 

 

Omg this is effing crazy, lmfao

I'll see if I can post my schedule of meets soon; we might have some more in common.

I ran in the freshman/sophmore race ( 2 miles) got 12:45 :P . I'm not sure on my placing, I know it wasn't that good, our fresh/soph team got 6th. I did watch a lot of the jr/sr race though, so I probably saw you without even knowing it :-#

Ran in an 8-team sophmore only race today, came in 5th with ~16:55. FIRST TROPHY EVAR!@!

Nice!

 

I just ran the course I will be at for the next 4 meets...possibly 5. Ran an all new best of 19:16. Crushed my last time there of 20:04. This time was while being sick also...If healthy, I could have gotten Sub-19.

Ran a 20:04 at my last meet. Improved a minute from my last race. I'll be racing Varsity at our conference this weekend. Hopefully I can race a 19:30ish.

im no pro or nething

i jus run bout 2miles evry other morning around my neighborhood jus to keep in shape and i enjoy it

So I'm coming up with creative ways to not be forced into joining track again by my friends. I'm thinking swim team and volleyball :lol:

 

That relates to running I guess. I've only ran 5 or 6 times since track season ended last year, so I'd probably die if I tried to run more than a 5k right now.
