I feel you. It took me 12 minutes to run a mile 9 weeks ago. My lungs give up before my legs h:

Hopefully I can break into the 10s next week for my finals. :exnbp:

 

Do track as a sport at your school, helped me a shitload.

 

sounds interesting. i'll give it a shot during my classes when i have nothing else to do.


:eek3: you're like a fat man h:


i did before, but quit :happysad:

 

More like a skinny man with a weak body h:

 

damn yo, I'm literally twice as big and I can run a mile in 9 something right now :eek3:

 

You have running in your blood. We came on boats. h:

But yea, I know I suck. But I should be getting better...I did 2 miles in 20 mins a couple of weeks ago. h: :uhhok: It seems as if the first .75 mile is hard, after that my heart is up and pumping and its a bit easier. :dunno:

 

Great stuff. I do breathing exercises similar to these just about everyday. I have about a 6 liter lung capacity now.

There is a great DVD out called "The Breathing Gym" made by Pat Sheridan and Sam Pilafian (two of the best tuba players in the world). It has some really great breathing exercises in it. It is kind of cheesy, but the content is awesome. You can really feel a difference when you do them.

 

i used to be able to run 6 minute miles (8th grade) now it's around 8 after i tore a ligment in my knee last year. this was after 6 years of track and 3 years of football. Just pick up a sport and vary your work out to avoid the plateau.

 

run on your hands, then :deek:
