my track coach made us do cross country in the fall. I was a high jumper.

The first practice, I couldn't complete a two mile run. I think it took a week or two of practice before I wwcould run two full miles. This was my senior year of HS.

Kids' fitness - do I have unreasonable expectations?

Seems reasonable to me. My 12 year old boy can do it easy. A female though...

Most people I know, of any age, can't do that

running too much at that age isn't always the best for growth

That's ridiculous. It would take significantly more than jogging a few

Don't know where you came up with that...

There's an app for that

Can you run 3 miles without walking?

Sea Chicken

Yes, thanks for asking.

You'll have to excuse kc, his phone autocorrects "eat 100 Twinkies in 5 minutes"

Everybody needs a goal

Sea Chicken

I hate Twinkies.

I would say so

It shouldn't be hard for her to train to that point is as many weeks.

You are being unreasonable

Is there a reason you want 3mi? If it's just some arbitrary distance then...why?

IGlowInTheDark

5/4/15 8:55pm

Because 1 mile sounded too short and 5 miles seemed too long.

kccougar

5/4/15 9:31pm

Not at all. Sad most kids can't run 1 mile without stopping. 3 is reasonable.

My seven year old daughter can do it

BYU Fan

I can't do it. Of course I've have 3 spine surgeries and my doc tells me not

LaserCoug

And that's why I included the "healthy" qualifier.

kccougar

5/4/15 9:49pm

I'm still pretty healthy. I mountain bike, hike in the mountains, walk at least

LaserCoug

Sounds weird to me
