Out of shape...?

Featured Replies

Recently I have tried out for one of the best soccer teams in my state i have played for before but i found out i didnt make the last cut. This was making me mad enough but my coach said the reason he cut be was because i am in bad shape? This is unusual for me to hear that because every day when i wake up i have a cup of coffe and i run 1.34 miles. Every single day for like the last 2 years. And as you know you need to be able to run far and fast in soccer but i am wondering when was the last time ne of u ran a mile in under 5 minutes 30 seconds?

In each countries in Europa, all know that the Soccer is the first national sport from 7 to 77 years old !I will come in USA ( when this will be possible ) to learn you how to run fast and to grow the very best soccer players in yours USA : in Africa, they run with a Lion, Tiger or a Rhino in them back for to make 100 metters championship ! :D Egidio.
-BornToDie]1 ( statute ) mile ( mi. ) onto ground = 1609,34 mètres and 1 nautical mile ( n.m. ) = 1852 mètres.Egidio.

Thanks Born :DThen I have to vote never, in 5 minutes? thats crazy.
No problems : i am an alive encyclopedia ! :D Egidio.PS. I assembled airplanes & aircrafts fighters, and i know all convertions of British and American weights & measures...

Way back, some 5 years ago we had to undergo Coopers' Test. It is about having to move (run or crawl as per ones' wish) in 12 minutes.

 

My score (i had 3 test but i remember this one) was 3550 [m] which makes 2.2 [mi] -> Every mile i went in about 5 [min] 30 . So if i ran only one mile i would have much better score per mile. That was the second best score in school. Heh, i remember doubling twice some males and 4 times females that also were undergoing the test.

 

But now im fat, lazy...........

wut kind of planes do u assemble? Oh i ran a mile like in 8 minutes.......but because i had to for fooptball.....which of coarse i cant play!!!!! grrrr
The try outs for our school soccer team were brutal.Somewhere around 15-20 laps on this track thing...that equaled 4 or 5 miles...and that's everyday...until you're cut of course.Oh and you had to do those, then kamakazie runs:(kamakazie runs: Behind by sprinting from the goal line to the crest, then back, then to the halfway line, then back, then the full field twice)then we had to run up this really steep hill near our scholl 4 times, then 50 push ups and sit ups, some soccer drills, then kamakazie runs again, then run the 15-20 laps againand that's 1 tryout out of the 5 before they start cutting people.Usually they don't have to cut people because half the people don't come for the second or third tryout.and why wasn't there "A Day" vote?
-UnwantedHero]kamakazie runs: Behind by sprinting from the goal line to the crest, then back, then to the halfway line, then back, then the full field twice

Americans that visited poland put me on this and they called it 'Champion Maker'

I have assembled : YF 16-A & B models for Europa participants + maintenances for Mirage 5B, Trilander, Alphajet, YF 104 from Germany and the YF 16 © Falcon Rally from USAF based in Germany and i repaired in hurry an usaf YF 16 tail ( a hole of the anti-aircraft gun in the Vertical Fin ) who is in patrol and come from Yougoslavia- Kosovo !Egidio.
kamikaze runs.......we call em suicides or progressions for a nicer name lol

God I hate them. My rugby team can't do the 50 or 100 meter suicides we have to do the FULL MILE suicides. 5 miles before we're done. 20 times around the track. 5:30? thats a brutal time for a mile run my last one (2 nights ago) was 3:39. I'm trying to get down to three min. I'm no small guy either. 6'3" 220lbs. My legs (thighs) resemble what some (all) have often called tree trunks. My arms are about 1/2 the size tho (14.8" in cercumfriance.) I love weight lifting, swimming, rugby. Pretty much anything physical. Best of all I'm only 14 8) can't wait to see what I'm like at 17 :twisted:On an unrelated note: Anyone see the Canada VS U.S.A. rugby game last night?
Alphajet is very good for training...F 104 are retired : in Germany he is called : "widowed maker" cos eletronic problems when the pilot make a loop or an upside-down under the 300 ft. !Egidio.
ironically im in traning for club soccer at A&M and i have my mile down to about 5:28 as of monday wOOt!! but i resent dex's comment about how american football is not at the same level of competetion...partially bec its true but we do have a lot of talent wasnt it an american who was in the top 10 g.s. when he was leased out to play in the british premership? we do have some talent...
Thats right. I'll be getting a web cam in the next two weeks to prove it too 8)------------EDIT-----------I get that reaction alot. Espicily in real life. People grow short around here. Not me tho.

i can run that time pretty easily now. im on the cross-country team and i run several miles a day. my school has some of the best soccer players in the US so im not going to try. :D

The only reason I have it set at 5:30 is becasue theres only a good few that practice hard and train to get better times. I have about a 4:24 average time myself record is 4:13 im only 14 though
I used to be able at age 37, until I tore my ACL last year while playing soccer.Now I can do it in 8 minutes. How fast you loose it. My knee is still problematic.In high school I ran 3 miles in 17 minutes all because of playing Soccer.
