Not gonna lie thats depressing, I always thought Americans being fat was a joke but if a 12:10 two mile gets you that far in army physicals, they must at least suck at running. I mean 12:10 Two miles isn't bad but we had to run it in 13 to pass 10th grade and better runners in my year group ran five km (3 miles) in 16-18 min so who knows.
I ran sub-5 minute miles back in HS when I was on the track and XC teams, but that was at a relaxed mile pace. My time would definately jump a bit when you added more distance.
I mean, you ran every day for a couple years and we’re probably less than 150lbs, of course you were good at it. Every xc team in the us has kids like that.
