Urban Run

by Andy
(Leeds, UK)

I ran about 2 miles in my run. I live in the city so I ran through the park on a sunny and warm day, dry under foot.

I like to run along a path through the grass and along the riverbank, then along a few minor roads along the pavement.

The change in terrain can make it somewhat more difficult to maintain an even pace, but also makes it more interesting. I did manage to keep it pretty much the same.

I had to stop a few times for traffic, pedestrians and the like, and junctions, so the quieter the road the better to maintain the pace.

All in all, a slow run for me as I do run a lot and usually do a greater distance, I blame it on the interference.

I find a walkman helps too. A great run though, felt really energized afterwards!

en route to 1.5 miles in 12 minutes

by john
(canada)

I am 77 years young. I ran (last week)1,930 metres in 12 minutes.
In miles that is 1.93/1.609 = 1.199 miles.

My goal is 2400 metres (1.5 miles)in 12 minutes)

Not bad for a youngster, huh?

Run For a cause (Aids awareness)

by Mudit Tyagi
(Miami Beach, Florida)

I and My friends are all male and around 21 years of age.
We ran 2 miles in 12 minutes and we all have good athletic body and are student in college.

We compared ourselves with others and with your chart and find ourselves excellent runner.

This run was for AIDS awareness.

It was not so hard.

(Chatham,MA,USA)

I’m a 23-year-old female and for my 12 minutes I ran 2,160 meters.

I am doing average. I am not a real fast runner and I do get tired easily. I’ve never been very active in sports.

However, I ran at a fairly steady speed, but not too fast. I was running in the park on pavement with my friends.

It wasn’t real hot like the 80’s of last week, and it was 6 pm.
I believe that the weather conditions made it much easier for me.

However, I do plan to start running everyday in the park and run the test again, to see if there will be any improvement.

I am not content with my results; I know I can do better!

Wish me luck!
Bye, Vena

On my way to a 38:40 5-mile run

by Don
(San diego, California)

-I ran 1.45 miles today (I'm 48) in a 12-minute cooper fitness test (on a treadmill).

When I was 26, I ran 5 miles in 38:40. My morning rest pulse now is 54. I can still stand to lose another 40 pounds. (I weigh 220)

Then I'm hoping to get back to my grad-school times in the 5-mile run.
