How Many Miscers Can Actually Run 3 Miles Under 24 Minutes?

[MyBaddBrah]

Pretty sad group of "athletic" people we have if at least 25% or more can't perform such a basic task. Guess it's kinda hard when you're trolling a bodybuilding forum 24/7

[tvr123]

I can

[CroForce]

I never measure my time but I think I can.

[MyBaddBrah]

I can

good job. I suppose only the people who can will show up ITT, the rest will be coping at their desks thinking of the next troll post/thread to make

[cookiefiend]

Wouldn't you just have to do a light jog to do 3 miles in that time?

[2RDEYE]

i could do that when i was a teenager. did it everyday srs. steep uphill, then back down, around a natural golf course built on a slope. loved running. i could probably still do it.

[RainingBlood]

I can. Fastest 5k I've ever done was just shy of 23 minutes. Working toward sub 20.

Surprisingly, most people can't. The average person cannot run a mile. Most miscers don't do cardio. Maintaining an 8:00 pace for three consecutive miles is very challenging, almost impossible, for someone who doesn't partake in some sort of endurance training already. It's not a matter of strength or mental endurance. It's a matter of your lungs and heart, and how they aren't conditioned to maintain that pace over such a long distance.

Surprisingly, most people can't. The average person cannot run a mile. Most miscers don't do cardio. Maintaining an 8:20 pace for three consecutive miles is very challenging, almost impossible, for someone who doesn't partake in some sort of endurance training already.

This. When I started running I thought I was fit but I barely ran 1000 metres.

this is why I laugh at gymcels who pretend (key word, PRETEND) to be all into health with their stupid brotein shakes and 200g to 1 broc**** floret ratio diets and 6 day splits doing 15 sets of chest and working curls and tricep extensions... like are those really integral to your longevity? these same people don't even stretch or do cardio. if there's one thing you should do in life beyond and other for physical well being it's some form of cardio. like for fuk sake just ride a scooter or play tennis against a wall if you're that lazy.

Just a tad more than a light jog I guess. Thats why its a basic task for an athletic person. Most people will gas out at the mile-1.25 mile mark

[drvillain]

i can no problem

[iwant2beswole]

to be fair, there's nothing athletic about bodybuilding

Cardio is very important. I focus on it now far more than lifting because I'm so much happier with it.

I've read so much about how people can get shredded without cardio, but I've yet to meet a single shredded person who doesn't do cardio.

[Issobolic28]

I think Flapjacko can; if there is an ice cream truck involved.

[fagort]

cardio kills gainz

[SkepticalOne]

I do it routinely. What's your Strava handle?

[MyBaddBrah]

cardio kills gainz

Not true at all. It helps them, srs. You can't do a proper, intense set without cardio.

[Lombardment]

easy but i dont consider myself a bodybuilder

[shoelaces]

I can run 1.5 miles in 10 minutes. Never timed myself going 3+ miles though. I'm 200lbs so I try to limit road running for my knee longevity.

[sword_]

Yep but hate distance running lol

[m4ddog]

3 miles in 19:48

Yep but hate distance running lol

Since when is 3 miles distance lmao

[midcoastking33]

to be fair, there's nothing athletic about bodybuilding

there's nothing athletic about endurance running either

[SwimToTheMoon]

I can do around 22:30min 5k on the treadmill with incline on 3

[rynnp]

my best was 18:40 on 5k so 3 miles i could probs do in 18 mins ish.
but these days def not close. id say if u give me 2-3 weeks of training i could get 24

[Groce]

a lot of the misc don't do cardio, cause they say it's a waste of time and gay (srs)

[Rayaarito]

I don't think the average 'healthy' person can run 3 miles in 24 minutes. That's keeping an 8 minute mile pace. I say that's an athletes pace. Not the average healthy person. I don't think that's even fair to say someones unhealthy if they cant run that. A 3 mile in 27 minutes is more fair imo.

[MyBaddBrah]

3 miles
endurance running

[makadelic]

My fastest 3 mile time was 19:33. It's in the 21 minute zone now that I don't train endurance.

That's on ground though. Treadmills are easier.

[Slayermanlet]

Very easily

[IfeHearted]

Yes, but I've also been involved in athletics my whole life so running has never been much of an issue.
