Is your cardio fitness based on how fast you can run a mile? Does 2 miles really matter?

Because i can do a mile in 7:10, but then i'm gassed and just slow down and end up turning 2 miles into 20 minutes

To my understanding only a couple of minutes is used to measure your heart rate.

Yet... That 7:10 minutes seems very slow! I ran my first 6 minute mile in the 6th grade. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@DeWayfarer i start at 10.0 mph on the treadmill then gas out at .6 miles or so then start walking

@MntoNc something not right. I suggest seeing a doctor. Don't push yourself until you do.

@MntoNc that 6 minute mile was a presidential ward run for all 6th grade schoolers! Only about ⅒ of the class won it.

Actually ran it in 5:58 seconds. Just barely enough to get the ward.

A few were much faster than me!

@MntoNc I said see doctor because I have no idea what is wrong with you physically.

It could be anything. Heck covid has been known to effect runners.
