Great Scott! That's pretty slow.

I'm pretty sure even I did better, when I was like 14

Couldn't do it now, though. But that's mostly 'cos I've pretty much not done any running at all for years.

First let me say that I admire anybody that does something like that Mulder.
Wondering about training though,anyone under 40 should be able to break 45 minutes on a reasonably flat course.
And that's still keeping the training more or less easy.

Yeah its not a great time i know

but as i said i've not done any training for it, its all been weights and 0 cardio these past few months and that hasn't helped, other than that - im just not very good at running

Last thing I intended was to make you feel bad about you're time man.
Plenty of people be happy to do what you just did.
Most important thing is to be proud of your accomplishment .
Besides it's rumored that you're dealing with serious wind resistance in the crotchal area.

who told you that!? that's just an infection, it'll clear right up

I've got this mental image of fungal hyphae trailing behind Mulder like those parachutes that slow planes down on the runway.

10K?
Running?
Don't you have a car?

The art of running has always been beyond me... I was quite a good swimmer at school, and cycling was no problem either but I just never got the running thing.

To this very day I have nightmares about trying to run and not being able to.

And every year, at the beginning of the school year we had to run a mile in under 12 minutes or you didn't pass PE for that year

So every year, at the beginning at the schoolyear I managed to get my time to 11.59 or so, puking 2-3 times along the way.
I hate running.

You should be shot for enjoying it.
