I mean I am exaggerating, but not by that much. Not my normal walking pace of course, but I am pretty confident I could maintain a 5mph pace on a track for that long, likely a little faster if I was motivated. Maybe 17 minutes is the point I would consider a wager.
Olympic walkers can do this in less then 10 minutes believe it or not.
I somewhat routinely run half a mile on the treadmill when I go to the gym and just stretching that out to 1.5 miles without working up to it? I might want to take an aspirin before handâŚsupposed to help with heart attacks, right?
I feel like we need to zoom out a bit from the specifics of the test and take glee in the fact that a significant percentage of the wannabe brownshirts are spending half an hour on this test, huffing and puffing with every ounce of their being, failing, and then having to tell their families why they are unable to nab that signing bonus they were talking about, that is in all likelihood the largest single payment they would have ever received in their lives.
Itâs almost like a mini-Squid Game for these little fascists.
Push ups, if they let you get away with it, basically just dropping to the ground is fast and easier.
Walking and running are completely different. I can walk for hours. I canât run very far without sharp pain. Maybe on a treadmill. Possibly on grass. There would still be hell to pay the next several days.
We talking nose to the ground, chin to the ground, or just past a right angle at the elbows? Also, I assume weâre doing hands straight beneath the shoulders.
Whoâs going to be the first one to sign up for ice, get the $50k, and then on the front lines of Portland, quit, pull out your frog costume and join the dance party?
One thing I have not really considered is somebody running the 1.5 miles and then collapsing for an hour. When I run I go at a pace where I could hold a conversation while running (I donât, but I could) and am totally fine and go about my day afterward. If somebody is willing to push themselves to their limit for 14 minutes and 25 seconds itâs entirely possible somebody who is really out of shape could do it.
long distance running is a huge crapshoot for me, my mile times vary by like 5 minutes from one day to the next depending on what i ate or the conditions outside.
