Woh...take it easy man...that is VERY hard to do you know. You're talking 3 minutes off your best time. That's a lot. I tried hard to get under 5 and couldn't. Of course, had I stopped focusing on building muscles, I could have, but women would rather have the body builder type than the marathon runner type.

Yes but I am 309 lbs right now and I run a 7:56. My fastest ever was 7:13 in 9th grade. But if I shed off 100 pounds I would get under 5 minutes.

I'm not trying to rain on your parade, but you might not understand how tough that actually is.
More power to you, and I hope you could...but you should be proud of what you can do.
Being as big as you are...why not go out for the football team?

For some reason it is not on my mind right now. If I can get back into serious shape, I will maybe try to walk on.

You are assuming once again that I do not have muscle tone. I am not a skinny little punk. Think about other guys who are 5'11" and weigh 185-205. In fact look at a couple of NFL rosters and let me know. I swear if you say kicker its on!

Well there was this kicker that....................................

Fred Smoot, Carlos Rogers (and he is strong as hell for a corner), Shawn Springs. Laron Landry 6'0" 213lbs.

Portis was 5'11" and 212lbs and 205 when he came in and he is 223 now.

Noooo, that wasn't directed at you at all. I was just referring to me...I carried a lot of muscles with me which made it impossible for me to break that 5 minute mile...that's my only point.
Think about that for a second...I was 210-215 and 5'10"...so I was 1 inch shorter than you but a good 30 pounds more...trust me when i say it's tougher to carry that extra muscle when you're running a mile. I was a big guy.

Shit, in high school I was only 167-173.

Well, I hit puberty at a young age...seriously been shaving since I was 12...very annoying! So I developed and became thick very quickly.
