Two of the three voices in my head agree with you. It might actually be unanimous but voice three only speaks Welsh.

I know some guys who were out in Oman on training exercises and the army didnt have anything better to do than make them run around all day....PT twice a day in Oman heat?

A couple of my mates go thier 1.5mile times down to 8 minutes....thats just not funny.

I'm confident they are referring to their pace.

Either that or the number of hours, not minutes, that it takes...

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

I'm a slow runner. I'm very happy with a 10 or even a 12 minute mile.

Having had a bunch of broken ankles, I'm just happy that I can still run (it's painful, but I can do it).



wish i had such an excuse for being a slow runner :-) I usually come in around 10-11 minutes...never been a good runner [:/] I'd rather swim :-)

Wow. Memory lane here for me. I ran competitively in high school and two years in college.

Mile: 4:46 (1976)
2 Mile: 10:09 (1976)
Half Marathon: 1:21:00 (1979)

I got way out of shape, and then got back in shape.

California International Marathon: 3:11:53 (Dec. 1993)

Boston Marathon: 3:21:27 (1994)

Marine Corps Marathon: 3:17:XX (1995)

California International Marathon: 3:10:23 (Dec. 1995)

Boston Marathon: 3:31:XX (April 1996)

Absolutely the time of my life, and I am working on getting back to something decent at 48 years old. Right now? I could do a mile in about 5 and a half minutes. This assumes an ambulance is on site and immediately picks me up at the 1/4 mile mark in full cardiac arrest. :D

The best I have ever done on a PT test is a 12:48 2-mile. Which would leave me at about a 6:24 1 mile. Sadly, lately I have been barely passing with a 15:48 (7:54 1 mile). :(

Wow, I really need to get back in shape!

38 years old, over 20 years of the Army and still doing 2 miles in the mid 14's (1 mile just over 7 minutes). I used to be faster when the jump numbers where lower (not skydives but the near 200 round jumps).[:/]
An Instructors first concern is student safety.
So, start being safe, first!!!
