Today, I had to run a timed mile. I'm terrible at running. During the run, I thought I was doing a good job. That is, until the teacher told me to stop because I was three laps behind everyone else. FML

Ouch, OP. I feel your pain, I've got asthma so I can't run long distances very easily. But come on, three laps? Were you crawling the whole time or was it just a super long run? Ps: nice username OP

Just because the OP can't run doesn't mean that he/she is over weight. I'm 5'7" and weigh 120 pounds and I can't run long distances either. I can do bursts of sprinting, but not sustain a good pace running a mile.

That's too bad OP, the good thing is that if you're looking to stay/get in shape walking is way better in the long run. Running causes a lot of joint problems as you age. Stick to walking, biking or swimming everyday and you'll see a huge improvement.

I'm terrible at running, too... hahaha I would probably have been slower. And my Adderall (prescribed to me by a real doctor. I'm not taking it illegally. Or stupidly.) just makes it worse.

At least you tried running and didn't give up. I know some people from my gym class who are in average shape but they would mostly walk the whole mile.

3 laps? A mile on a track is only four laps. What were you running, a gym?

run for 30 seconds as hard as you can. then walk for a minut. repeat this untill you cant run anymore. do this every other day for a month. then run your mile

nah man much more effective to run every other day, and not stop at all. Just set a goal of running like 20 minutes straight at your own pace.

I agree with the guy above, I'm a serious runner and know a lot about running and training and everything and running as hard as you can for 30 seconds as hard a you can is so stupid
