Im Pretty Fast (racing)

[shnailpower]

6:35? thatz not that fast really... my best mile iz 6:20, and im 13. after that though, i kinda wind down. i get past the mile and stop, i cant go no longer. im not that fast in the miles neither, im fastest in my school (6th - 8th grade) (im in 8th) at the 1/4 mile and enaythiang under that, the fastest kid 4 a mile in my school got a 5:34, which was a new school record.

Fastest kid in my high school got around a 4 flat. I win!

Pussys.

My best mile was a 9:15...and i weigh 275, and was wearing a full set of football pads, in Texas sumer heat. And those whus ass public school pansies didnt have to practice becuase the temp was over 105. XC is like golf and theatre...you get a different letter jacket from the rest of the school becuase its an activity, not a sport.

[drftk1d]

wow dude, i had no idea you were that big

[CassiesMan]

Yeha, that was back in highschool. Im somewhere around 250 now, but my bench is still in the upper 300s, sqaut in the mid 4s, curl somewhere around 110 if I had to maxout, and clean a high 3 or low 4 something. My best is dead lift, last time I did that I was dead lifting about 700 pounds.

And I think a guy from my highschool set the TAPPS record for mile times with something in the threes.

ehh your not to bad, i ran CC and track in high school as well.

Freshmen 18:21
Sophmore 17:34
Junior - didnt care
Senior Quit

1600- 4:47
High jump 5"11
400- 57 seconds, but i only ran it once, and i didnt run after my junior year.

Keep it up though, you will get faster just takes alot of pain. Also the faster you run, the more it hurts.

Nice work, I know that is a shit load better than I could do the 5k.

Congratulations... i ran a 5:26 mile in florida hot, and humid dog days of august

oh an i geuss im a pussy because i could probably speed walk a 9:15

and what is even more pussy like is that cross country is what every other sports coach gives for punishment... we fuck up in soccer we have a mile worth of gassers (modified suicides) you fuck up in Foot ball you gotta run, you fuck up in baseball you gotta run, you fuck up in swimming you gotta run...yes our swimmin coach does running too and we have 4 swimmers who placed in regionals and are going on to state so he did something right.
what i want to know is where you get off saying that a sport which consists of nothing BUT running isnt a real sport...is it because you dont have a ball? so i geuss swimming, track and feild (aside form shot put), biking are all not sports because they dont have balls.... well ill tell you this it takes more balls to run a 5k in under 20min than it does to put on 30lbs of padding and get hit a few times with manditory water brakes every 3min plus times outs excetera excetera.... i geuss maybe wresleing isnt a sport either...
i geuss all the people who compeate in the Hawian Iron Man are pussys? because running, biking, and swiming dont have some sort of device you move around a feild or court?
id like to see you or 90% of people who play foot ball make it through one leg of such an event much less run a 5k in under 20min.
or maybe its just your pompusassed aditude, which would be associated with fuckers who start arguements about how their BMW is better than all (even if BMW is a good company) or how their fat assed foot ball playing self, which a pompous assed aditued would be associated with alot of football players, was so manly because he could run a 9:15 with padding in 105 degree weather... congratufuckinglations... now STFU if you have nothing constructive to say!




Jayson, that is pretty damn good, my freshman year my personal best was like a 23:XX and last year the XC program was like nonexistant and i pulled my quad mid XC season playing soccer.

6:35? thatz not that fast really... my best mile iz 6:20, and im 13. after that though, i kinda wind down. i get past the mile and stop, i cant go no longer. im not that fast in the miles neither, im fastest in my school (6th - 8th grade) (im in 8th) at the 1/4 mile and enaythiang under that, the fastest kid 4 a mile in my school got a 5:34, which was a new school record.

my mile now is probably low 5's, you must have some slow people at your middle school, in 8th grade when i trained for the mile i broke 5min to run my personal best so far a 4:48 and still didnt beat the school record which was 4:45. our school record for the mile is like 4:10 or some shit, its practically a sprint and as of now no one could touch it as our fastest is probably mid 4's

[-Jayson-]

dude if you can run a 4:48 miles theres no reason why you cant run a 17:XX 5k. Running is 90 percent mental. When i ran cross country i would completely ignore the guy yelling off my mile times. If i knew i was at a mile i would get scared and slow down cause i thought i was pushing myself to fast and i would burn out.

Theres no reason why you cant, just after each mile, think to yourself, i can go a little faster. Just a notch faster, but it will make a big difference, also that last 400 mile, spring like theres no tomarrow, just keep pushing and pushing, worry about callapsing after the race.

I used to push myself to the point where at the end of the race i would fall down and a few times had to have my teamates carry me away from the finish cause i was getting trampled.

[CBFryman]

our team uses a uniform strategy, Fast 1st mile, slow down jsut a tad for the 2nd mile to give yourself a rest and as fast as you can the last mile... i probably couldnt run a 4:48 now but could get close to 5 flat.
im hoping to brake 20 this saturday... tomarrow and thrusday its nothing but protien and carbohydrates and friday its mostly carbohydrates and TONS of water with a few bananas... i didnt beleive it at first but diet, especially in the 3-4days prior to a race, has a HUGE effect on performance.

but regionals im going all out, normally we say you didnt run a good race if you can breath even halfway non eratically for 5-10min after the race and if your hear rate drops below 120bmp wihting 15min after the race... im gonna put it out that our new motto is if you dont colapse at the finishline at regionals you didnt give it your all :P
of course you have to be careful colpaseing at the finish line as people will slip by you in the shoot and cause you to loose position and your team to gain points. which is why most races, when i finish, if there is someone ahead of me who has colapsed i stop right behind him and wait for the people to stand him and not let anyone pass me (so he doesnt get passed) because unless it means going to state (lol) its just dirtbagish to steal someones hard earned place.

[-Jayson-]

slow down? WHY?! no offense but your coach needs to learn how to be a coach. My CC coach was a legend in my state. he had more state champions than any other school under his belt. Every other coach knew exactly who he was and respected him. His motto was always catch the guy in front of you. As youd run past him he point to the person in front of you and say "Baker you better catch that guy"

trust me when i say, dont slow down. You can do it without slowing down. I had guys on me team that ran 15:XX and 16:XX second 5ks. They never slowed down and gave it 110% the whole race.

And trust me, if you want a scholarship for CC, you need to be running at 16:XX. There was a kid on my team who ran a 15:XX, he got a full ride scholarship, but it wasnt to a big 10 or anything like that, just a small state college.

Also think about it before you decide to do that, in college, its not a 5k race, its a 10k race.

Actually, I personaly have run a number of 5k(s) and one 10k for charities (I dont need to run for an award). Also, our entire offensive back field was on the Cross Country team (our coach required it), and they all placed pretty high in state.

Further, while were on the topic of "seeing you do this", I'd like to see you get straight up jacked by the first round draft pick for the Stealers (I have), get a sack on the starting QB for SMU (I have), whup up on a a defensive end getting a full ride to Texas Tech (I have), throw a block on the second team linebacker for UConn (I have), and fully impress a former starting Green Bay DE, among other former profesional players (I have). Good job, you can run fast. I bet you would run away. Those pads don't offer as much protection as you think, and based on the number of injuries I've had, and played through regardless of pain, don't reduce any pain. Not if your playing real football. Oh, and if you think we only run for punishment, then your pretty far off base. Standard daily conditioning consisted of mile runs, super man runs, bleacher runs, full field triangles, and forty yard sprints. Punishment running was that and then usually a few (10-15) sets of gassers or suicides, more hill running, more bleacher running and usually rolling just to get us to throw up. And it was always timed.

Oh, and if you want my best mile ever, with no pads on, my fat ass pulled off a 6 flat. That was still Texas summer heat. Oh, and regarding this:

which is why most races, when i finish, if there is someone ahead of me who has colapsed i stop right behind him and wait for the people to stand him and not let anyone pass me (so he doesnt get passed) because unless it means going to state (lol) its just dirtbagish to steal someones hard earned place.

Then you obviously dont want to win bad enough. And yes, I still hold the biking, swimming, running, track and field (shot put/discuss/javelin included) are not sports but events and activities. And I dont know about your school or Florida ball, but on average, we'd be lucky to get one water break per quarter (coach would restrict us from it), and our team hardly ever called time outs. Not part of our strategy.

[CBFryman]

ive never played organized foot ball... however i have played with 2 of our teams starting defensive linemen tackle on asfault... ive broken my arm playing foot ball...in the games FHSAA will give manditory water brakes if it is hot quite often.

me not skipping over someone who has given it their all to the point they colapse is common courtesy and good sportsmanship...of course it seems you where never taught that.

and what do you mean "real football"
are you saying soccer isnt real football?
last time i checked the ball may contact a foot 10 times per quarter on a bad day (meaning lots of kick offs or punts)

congratulations on you impressing a scout...that still doesnt make up for the fact you came into MY THREAD and bashed me for doing well compared to my past runs and then bragging about an amazing 9:15 mile.
i geuss you where never taught good manners either.

but id like to see you play 40min straight agianst a rough team, getting smacked to the ground or cleated once a minute and sprinting constantly only catching a breath for a throw in or penulty (i have) or see you beat 3 guys, dribble down the line and give a near perfect cross for an assist late 2nd half of a game after sprinting or near sprinting for 15-20min prior to that (i have) or take being tripped from behind, getting up tackleing an outside left, carying the ball 15 yds, pass it to a center mid the ceck it back out but it was a bad touch and sprint for the ball full speed while a 225+ lb sweeper does the same barely get a touch in for a pass to a striker before being leveled like no ones business and not being able to get a good breath for 5 min but continue sprinting and calling for the ball/calling out things such as "man on" or "time" or "turn left" excetera with what breath you can get (i have).
or go up for a header and get knocked mid air, falling down in the middle of the box and trying to scramble to your feet, but you hand gets cleated and swells to the size of an orange so you jsut take an advil and keep playing (i have) or after the swelling gets too great you get taken off for medical attention and htey wrap it and you begin to cool down from not running but all you have on is shorts an a jersy and no under armor and its 29 degrees and then get back on the feild and run like you hadnt cooled down (i have). or how about going up for a header and busting your nose agianst the other guys temple and continueing to play w/o notice to the blood untill you look down and there is a ring of sweat/blood on your underarmor and jersy from it running down your face and neck (i have)
maybe you would like me to go in to injurys that some of my other team mates have suffered... perhaps when our stopper was knocked down and kicked and the eye making it almost instantly swell shut but got up, sprinted back and continued to play...
or how about the 2 players we lost last year both due to over stressing their hip flexors and both where on crutches for 4 months
or perhaps you'd like to talk aboutthe 2 broken fingers one of our keepers had...
or the torn ligaments in one of our strikers foot.


but ehhh webster sure thinks all of thoes are sports

Main Entry: 2sport
Function: noun
1 a : a source of diversion : RECREATION b : sexual play c (1) : physical activity engaged in for pleasure (2) : a particular activity (as an athletic game) so engaged in

a physical activity engaged in for pleasue... running is physical...its an activity...and i do it because i get pleasure from beating people and the satisfacory feeling i get after the surrfering/heaving breathing/muscle fatigue/vomiting/heart feeling like its going to jump out of your rib cage for performing how i did...

[CassiesMan]

I prefere playing rugby to soccer. I wish my school had a rugby team, I'd definately play there. And I was tought great sportsman ship and manners, I just choose not to use them. And I still think you wont pass someone who cant complete the race on his own without passing out, then you dont wanna win bad enough.

[CassiesMan]

Oh, and...


What does any of this have to do with automotive racing?
