12 Minute Run
 

My male cousin in grade nine just finished the standard 12 minute run for fitness in Ontario.
For those of you that don't know, the twelve minute run involves a person running around a standard 400 m track for 12 minutes, with the final lap count being their 'score'.
Now on with my question, what scores have the fitness elite of the Tilted Forums scored on this standard test and how does he compare to others in his age group?
He scored 7 1/2 laps in the twelve minutes, which seems like a pretty good score to me.

Try this.

It works out to be an "excellent" rating.

That's pretty good. When I was his age, I could do about 8.5, but now I'd do about 10.5 (that's about where I hit 12 minutes when I race), which is alright. Of course I run competitively though....

hilbert, you are a scary, scary man. ;)

WHAT - that is abismal - i have to only run more than 3km in 12mins to be in the average zone.
Okay - some maths - that means i need to do 4kmph - the average walking speed is 6kmph so i would have to speed up by 1/3 in order to make "excellent" - that is rubbish!

Mill: my time got a Fair rating. i figured i'd be somewhere between poor & fair. oooh well, i love my morning 6 mile run and no matter what the rating is, i'll be out there huffin' and a puffin' tommorow morn! keep zoomin' !!
