This Summer in Football

The coach wants us all to run a mile in 5:30 seconds. That is insane. I am 5'5 and 150 and i can usually run a mile in 6:30ish. But 5:30, ridiculous. Also I have idea what posistion i am going to play this year. He doesen't tell you till August and i have no clue. I like playing DB but i am a little small for that.

yeah, i am not going to do it, i will try my hardest

At least your coach dosent make you run with 100 pounds on you.

My coach makes everyone durring the summer run track, miles anything the only catch is you have to have a 100+ pound bag on your back which is hell after awhile. But it is working. I can see our RB will be beasting people.

Thank god I stopped playing football.... As for the mile, I might be able to do it if I sprinted the whole thing in 5:30.... maybe. Like 30% chances of it happening.

I will just do it like in 7 minutes and tell him to cry

No offense, but even if you sprinted you would die before you make it. I mean I would die too. Less than 30%

None taken, but my point is that if I really really wanted to and I didn't give up, I think I could.

i play DT so i dont gotta run the mile, i run it in like 10

he may be telling your to run in 5:30 just because he knows you will all do it in 7.. just to mess with your heads.

I take it that 1. This isn't high school (Or at least Varsity) football, and 2. Your coach is a fucking retard.

yeah for real your coach must be a damn moron because thats impossible

so he wants all the o-lineman to slim down and get quick enough to run a mile in 5:30

that is the stupidest idea ive heard

also how fast you run the mile has no bearing on what you can do on the football field because in football it is about short bursts of power and speed, not 5:30 worth of power and speed

now if youre talking football meaning soccer, then running the mile in 5:30 might, and i mean might be understandable

Not really THAT hard, you just gotta be really athletic.

That said, it really isn't the best indicator / training method for football.

Short distance drills (for our varsity team, we had cones, ladders, sand pit, and tumbling in the wrestling room) are much better.
