How I did it: Let's just say--as a self-entitled "non-athletic person," I was in for a rude awakening. During the first week of class, we ran a mock test that represented the final in which the class had to complete a mile and a half run in a appropriate amount of time for their age group. The next day after the pre-run test, I headed to the gym with the intent to improve so as to NOT fail this class. I was a 4.0 student, and I was frustrated to t… Read how I did it…

I just made a dinner wager with a friend – on July 3rd we will have a contest – 150 situps, 10 pullups and a 3 mile run in 21 minutes…...The situps will be no problem, the pullups will be difficult to lift my 200lbs 10times, and the running will be harder still….I have a ways to go, as i am running about a 10 minute mile right now.

After two attempts, my best is 7:25. Should be able to go under 7 in a few weeks and start on trying to crack 6 minutes
... oh dangit. i thought this was the 5 minute mile group. sorry! yea down to 5:20 here baby!
That wasn’t too tough. It feels good to hit this milestone, though. As far as I know, I’ve never done it before in my life.
I’m very close. I think I can finish this off tomorrow, and then it’s on to 6:00!
I was able to do this in high school, but now I’m running a 9 minute mile. Need to keep up with the training and workouts.
I started running about a month ago, and I can run two consecutive 7:40 miles, so I think this is a goal I can achieve within the next 3 months. We’ll see!
One of the keys for me was to set a fast enough pace for the first 3 minutes or so. Of course you don’t want to be going flat-out over the first half, so you need to know what your body can handle through trial and error. I ended up going as fast as I could for the last quarter-mile or so. First attempt: 7:15, Second attempt: 6:25! I figure if I make my break a little earlier, or start off at a slightly faster pace I’ll be able to break 6…
