Mat Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) Ooh I was just thinking that this should exist I started running regularly in 7th grade, so... 3 years ago. I'm sad that my school is starting online because XC starts right then as well, and now it won't Apparently until February, and it's really cold in the PNW in February. Right now I'm just running around my block loop twice a week, it's about 3.5 miles, and running a mile or two on my treadmill the other days. The XC high school meets are 3 miles, so a 3.5 mile track is good because if I get used to that, the meets will be a breeze. If they ever happen. I also do track, which I've only done one year of because covid stopped my second :P. Stats.... hmm, let's see... Best 0.5 mile time (200m track race): 2:10 ish Best personal mile time: 6:13, I think. Might be 5:59 but I think I'm making up that I did that Best 1.5 mile time (Middle school XC meets): 10:37 ish Best 3ish mile time (High school XC meets but the time is unofficial): 28:30 ish. Want it to be below 25, that's what I'm working towards right now. Eventual goals: -2:00 0.5 mile, -5:45 mile, -10:00 1.5 mile, -25:00 3 mile Edited August 21, 2020 by Matrim's Dice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinkoln Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 I try my best to run fast but I have been slowed down by the way my body was made. I have in-turned knees, so when I am standing up with my feet together, my feet are literally at a 90+ degree angle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just ran about that- the loop that goes around my block is about 5k, a bit more- just this morning and got like 32 minutes xD. So that's really good! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mist Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Thanks! Actually, I just realized I mistyped. 3 miles. High school races are "5K"s, meaning somewhere around there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinkoln Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Nice, I’m not going to be running for a while because I possibly just got a concussion because I dove full force into pool wall... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, I got it checked and I either don’t have a concussion or it is so small that it is inconsequential, so it is pretty much just a literal baseball sized bump on my head 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearer of all agonies Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 Hey! Everyone here! What is your mile, 2 mile, and 5k times? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 Just now, Bearer of all agonies said: Hey! Everyone here! What is your mile, 2 mile, and 5k times? Mile- 6:13 (1.5 mile)- 10:48 2 Mile (Never ran officially, but I've done/timed myself)- 15:26 5k (Also never ran officially but I've done/timed myself)- 27:42 Now that I'm starting high school, I'm hoping to improve those. Right now I run a 5k every Tues/Fri just around my block- it's like exactly the distance of a 5k, which is pretty convenient- and 1 to 1.5 miles on my treadmill inside Monday, Wed-Thurs, and Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run Cross Country and Track. I prefer Cross Country because I'm better at hills then most people but I'm fine in track. Ummm. 1 mile best is 5:04. Not sure what my 2 mile best is. Let's see, apparently it's 11:18. My 5k. Hmm. I don't remember my best. I'm not sure what my best 5k is, but my best 3 miles is 16:51. I run 6 days a week. I guess you could say I like to run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hen Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 I don’t run, but I really want to. I joined XC at my highschool freshman year. Little did I know that we are one of the best/fastest high schools in the country (freshman year I think we were in the top 50? Maybe it was top 10, I don’t remember exactly). Needless to say, it was very intimidating. Most of the girls had been running their whole lives, and I got beaten down and discouraged really quickly. I don’t have a treadmill, and I’m embarrassed running in my neighborhood since most of my neighbors are fellow students that know I’m slow. Ill get there one day. Until then, I’m awe over you guys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condensation Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 I'm a pretty good runner. I'm definitely not as good as Mist, but I'm better than most of the kids in my grade at my school. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
