Over 10 minutes since forever?
Yer not slow, you are retarded.../S
I ran 5:54 in high school
I’ve done a 9:30 mile. Hoping to progress from there.
I don’t know what I ran. By the time I got in, the coach, assuming nobody could still be out there, had invariably stopped the timer.
I was horrible at long distance, even then I was well below a 10 minute mile.
Of course, I can’t sing and have two left feet so she may be right that we are wired certain ways and can only do so much with what we are given.
That said, my ballet studio owning friend has said that dance is a matter of will power; and even with my genes in them our daughters are good ballerinas. One son is a skilled musician and singer. Only our oldest has followed in our athletic footsteps.
It’s 6 1/2 miles from my house to my workplace.
I take 40-45 minutes in either direction.
On a bike.
Terrain makes a HUGE difference.
Ever notice how “Jock” and Jerk” are nearly identical?
