If your wondering its the 1.5 mile thats fucking em up. Bet REAL money like 5% of the people on this thread have ran a timed mile since highschool, its fucking HUMBLING. Its not hard with a modicum of effort to get 1.5 in 14 mins with like 2 weeks of consistent exercise and practice combined with healthy lifestyle. Problem is thats like a "reality TV show" scenario where someone can just put their whole life outside of their health on pause and change long standing habits and coping mechanisms that only manifested from a compromised goal to begin with.
I remember something that stuck with me to this day and likely for the rest of my life, just a random day in PE when I was in school when we had to do the mile, there was a really big fat kid in our class, like not just fat but way taller than most to, poor guy probably had constant shin pain from the growth and IDK if he had poor self control or a medical thing but shit it was still school so we were still kids, his parents should be the people responsible for making sure he has healthy eating habits or whatever but I digress, point is I dident know him well or anything other than he was big and fat.
Anyway he comes up to me in PE before the mile and asks me what time I was shooting for, I told him I just wanted to pass (for context that was like 8 mins or something) and to be polite I just reflexively asked him the same thing and he looked me dead in the eyes and said "If I can get under 15 it will be a miracle" and idk man maybe it was just the way he said it, not like he was breaking down or anything but just so honestly coated in regret for a failure im not sure he could fully understand. I dident know what to say back, I just kinda mumbled I hope you can do that to and walked to the line. He dident get under 15 and the teacher had him stop before he even finished because he was the last one running and the meaner kids were starting to openly mock him. Now this last part the sands of time have eroded and I can no longer perfectly remember his exact words but as he walked back over to the group and we all walked back to the locker room he said something to me to the effect of "I wasent expecting a miracle anyway" or it might have been "you cant always get the miracle you want" I wish I had writen it down, folly of youth.
Sorry if im yapping about absolutely nothing I guess I just took from that alot of compassion for peoples health. That poor guy probably never had a chance, there was no reality TV show to help him lose the weight and the responsible people who should have policed those habits from starting were either asleep at the wheel or likely suffering from the same defficences they so shamlessly pass to a new generation.

Dawg, there are people alive today that landed on the beaches of Normandy and retook Europe by force. How can we explain this degredation within living memory?
