Hello,
I'm posting here today to ask about the run time requirement. While I can do 10 pullups and 80 situps in 2 minutes, I'm not built like a cross country runner and I'm not sure I will be running 3 miles in under 18 minutes by senior year. My 3 mile time right now is around 22-23 minutes (6:35 1-mile), and while it will improve, I play varsity hockey in Minnesota and I cannot be skinny because I am short and would get killed. While my pullups will increase by senior year as will my situps, what is the threshold for the run? Would 21 minutes suffice if I have strong academics, volunteer work and extracurriculars? I know you should shoot for maximums but with hockey going year round I'm feeling nervous about the run time. And I am a sophomore.
Thanks,
Bear
