Alright! Just got back from the Track meet, and might I say that it was the most fun I've had in a while! It was a small meet for 3A 2A and 1A schools so not much competition. Anyways, I got 3rd in the mile run with a time of 5:13 and 2nd in the 2-mile with a time of 11:39. Although with the 2 mile, since it was so close after the 1 mile, my coach told me to take it easy. So yeah, I waved to the audience, talked to some runners I passed, and yelled "Hi mom" on one of the straight-aways  Lot's of fun, can't wait for the next meet, which, BTW, is also on Saturday  Later- |

I got a 5:44 on my 1 mile, not to great, but the weather was nice!

That's actually quite good, compared to us Taiwanese. I ran for 10 minutes for 1600 meters, which is one mile.

Lol. Maybe you should excercise more often lionytai. I'm hoping to get a 5:30 on my next meet. Oh, and Micah, are you a softmore or a juinor?

If I get on the track, I can run for about one lap. Then I slow. Then I walk for the rest of the run. It's rather pathetic. Last time, I hadn't even done my last lap and they had me get off because they were getting tired of waiting for me. :-\

Maybe you should try training in the off season, although your team doesn't sound very nice teddy...

@Mahri: I'm a Sophomore, and you?
@Teddy: I'm sorry that happened man, but Mahri is right. If you want to get faster then you should train off-season, it can knock lots of time off of any race.

I'm a freshman, so this will be my first time that I actually train in the off season. I didn't during my Jr. High years simply because I was too lazy, and I didn't between XC and Track because I was dealing with a hamstring problem. =P

Wow, you're fast for a Freshman! And I didn't run at all until 9th grade in Track, the most my athleticism reached before that was playing ping-pong XD

Thanks! What were your track times for the beggining of your Freshman year?

First meet? Oh wow, 5:54 for the mile, and IDK for my 2-mile, I remember it was slow though And my last race freshman year in regionals was 5:34 for the 1 mile and 12:28 for the 2-mile. So, yeah, I was pretty slow =P |

I'm hoping to get down to a 5:15 by the end of this year for my mile, and probably a 2:15 for my 800m. I don't have a goal for my 2 mile run yet, since I havn't run it. Oh! My next track meet is on Friday, so I hope I do a little better. I'm running a minimum of 3 events this time. =P

I'm not on a track, it was something for my fitness badge in Scouts. And no, they are all very nice. I'm actually very fit, just have NO cardiovascular power. 4:)

Being fit is being strong in the upper, middle, and lower body, so you cannot really say you're fit if you can't run more than a lap. My guess is that you have a really strong upper body, but you should lay low on the upper body, and work out your legs a little more. Upper body muscles are more for looks with most people, and the legs are left out. Go to work out your legs, start with walking a mile or two at a time, and work your way up. =P

You can also increase you endurance by riding a bicycle at a speed where you can still talk, but not sing. That is the easiest way to judge if you are in the cardio zone, in any activity.

Well, yes, I'm not very fit in my lower part. However, I haul bags of feed around, hand-milk 10 goats twice a day, chase, tackle (sometimes), and haul sheep around, and buckets of feed and water for everyone, every day. Sundays are not excemt from this, especialy not the milking part. I just don't usually have time to run or anything. I like walking though. I'm good at hiking.

I've improved with my running, especially sprinting, loads since I joined taekwondo. But Teddy... 1 MILE IN 5:54? Whoa, the 1500m takes me ages... around 10 mins. I'm not really a long distance runner. |
I'm back. Probably not for long, as I've got school stuff to attend to, and I'll probably want to get a job at some point (hopefully self-employed). But nice to see you all again anyway.

That's fine TBD! How fast are your sprints though?
