<p>Are you serious? I can speedwalk a mile in 18.5 minutes…If you can’t run a mile in at least 7:30 it is sad(barring a medical condition)</p>
<p>Lol, I think my fastest mile is only a 5:20, which doesn’t even put me in the top 110 for girls’ 1600m times (which happens to be sub-5).</p>
<p>Apparently there’s a freshman (now sophomore) who ran a 4:46 mile (Ajee Wilson of NJ). That is so crazy.</p>
<p>9 minute mile + 90 sit ups per minute = FAIL.</p>
<p>Agree with RONJIZZED.</p>
<p>lol…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>lol at 90 situps/min</p>
<p>My best is 5:07 which was sophomore year and I was far far from getting into Varsity. To put things into perspective, our top 5 averages a 4:30-4:40 mile and a 15:30 3 mile. This is in southern California, but I really doubt that there’s some schools where a mid 6 or higher qualifies for Varsity unless there’s only like 3 people on the team. PE kids can do better.</p>
<p>97% in gym while being an un-athletic nerd?</p>
<p>Grade inflation, much?</p>
<p>Is 80% of your grade based on attendance, 15% on brown-nosing, and 5% based on your actual performance?</p>
<p>80% is your effort. 20% is quizzes.</p>
<p>With respect to the grades, you’re a freshman only a few weeks into the school year. Don’t worry. Now about the fitness, make time to run at your school’s track a few times a week. Start out with committing yourself to run (or jog) for 4 straight minutes. Then work up to 6 minutes, 8 minutes, 10 minutes, and so on. The key to running a faster mile is to actually run, even if it is a slow pace throughout. If you can run the whole thing you will see faster times.</p>
<p>So, jog a few times at the track, or even around your neigborhood. After you run a few minutes, do crunches, then run up and down the stadium steps. Take a break and do the sequence at least a few more times. Do this and you will see improvement…</p>
