Maybe the AF standard mile run, but you didn't pass the cadet PT test times for mile run.  But then again, most seniors can't meet the cadet PT tests.

I said 1 1/2 miles, not 1 mile.  This, after I had back surgery less than 2 months ago.  But yes, I need work.  And no, most seniors couldn't pass a cadet PT test, but could most cadets pass a "real" military PT test in turn?  Either way, I'm back baby....

Ran 1 1/2 miles (AF PT standard) on the treadmill in 13 minutes.  Not bad if you ask me.  Goal is 10 minutes.

Good job!  But the treadmill ain't the street brother...

My fastest 2 mile run in the Army, 11:50 something, came after training solely on the treadmill.  The reason why I think the treadmill makes my run times faster is becaues on the treadmill you maintain your speed.  Set it at 7:00 minute miles and you will continue that pace until you physically push the button to slow down.  On the street, when you tire, you automatically slow down.  Just some food for thought.  I train 100% on the treadmill for all runs, military and civilian and I always max the military PT runs and do well on 5Ks and such.

Still, there are downfalls to only training on a treadmill.  But as long as you're aware of them, it doesn't make much difference.  Unfortunately, most people don't heed the differences...

For those interested, would you be willing to post said downfalls?

Ha!  Yeah, my favorite time of year at the gym.  It only lasts between 2 and 4 weeks before the gym starts making money from people who no long go.  My buddy has been paying the monthly fee of $59 for he and his wife and haven't been in 9 months.

I've belonged to a gym for 9 years now and enjoy watching these folks everytime, except for when they hog the equipment.

On Monday @0600 I was the sole person in the gym!

As in the lights shut off suddenly after a half hour on the treadmill since there was insufficient motion in the room to activate the light switch/motion detector thing.

Treadmill in the dark is fairly interesting for a few moments.   :o

And yes, I can be an equipment hog for long runs on the treadmill. (10+ miles)

But at least there are enough so no one has to wait for me.
