anyone a veteran at working out?

Nah, never timed myself but I run about eight miles sometimes. Depends on my mood.

Long distance runner?

I like to keep my times low and distance at medium. Stopping at about 4-5 miles and Ill keep it under 7:30. I weight lift more then run though.

[Z3R0]

I do long distance so I can keep my recovery up. I used to weight lift a lot in high school...just got bored with it. I do chair push ups, crunches, inclines, and run basicly now. I'll do curles and bend over rows every once in a while though.

"I can do 3 miles each under 7:30."

Wait wait wait ares... You said you can run 3 miles in 7:30 or each mile of the three.

In the MC you have a physical fitness test every 6 months. One of the things is a timed 3 mile run. The perfect score is 18 mins for three miles. 6 mins a mile.

[wazzacky]

I know fat people that run over 1km a day. Suck it up and stop whining. As for posting...I'll post all I want in this thread. If you only want info from Siris or Ares, then I suggest you PM them. Also...as a side note...it would probably be easier to read if you didn't type like a two year old. <.<

what my constant use of commas? bad habit.

Running sucks if you haven't done it in a while...but eventually, with proper breathing techniques and consistancy, the pain will pass. Heh.

thats wat im lacking is the breathing techniques. Back In PE our runs were 3km which i easily finished in 15 minutes. Like i said a long time ago, im working my way up thou. Doin about 1.5km run no. its actually easier than my 1km route since it doesn't have like a 30 meters of stairs and steep hill to go up. my goal is for stamina, meaning less runs at longer distances. My goal is about 10 Km in 45 minutes.

yea i think he meant 7:30 a mile, doing it in 7:30 probably possible but u'd need the speed/stamina of an olympic athelete i think. Actually scratch that, impossible. Our top runners in our school when they do the 1km warmup. They average around 3:30. 3 miles equals 4.5 km? So yea.

Yes Siris, 3 continous miles each under seven minutes and thirty seconds. Im also aware on the military testing. I was preparing myself for that

Very wrong, its nothing hard. The Olympic runners run I think it was 21 miles? each under 6-7 or something like that?

What I do isn't even that impressive. Once I can do 5 Miles under 7 that would be on a scale of 1-10 about a 7

[wazzacky]

i wasn't aware of that, thats nuts huh

[Siris]

Well The Marine Corps has just come out with a new test as well The combat fitness test. You might as well as look that up too.

Ehhh...
Not aiming towards the Marine Corps

I think you have to be able to run a 6 min. mile depending on what branch you are going for. Think I heard that somewhere, don't hold me to it though.

No, It may be the perfect score but it'd wouldn't be the cut off. Any I don't know that any of the branches that just run a mile. The navy runs a mile and a half for there's. We run three.

Jarhead?

[Siris]

Wa??

[Z3R0]

Wa??

Are you a Marine? >.>

[Siris]

I know what a jarhead is..... I just didn't understand the context you were using it in.
Oh btw nobody but the occasional civilian calls us jarheads. We use the term devil dogs

I have a lot of Marine buddies that use the term Jarhead. I was in the AF.
