The 12 Minute Test

Six weeks ago I took the 12 minute running/walking test on the treadmill and ran 1.06 miles which was in the "Good" category, but at the low end of the range. My goal was to run 1.10 miles during the 12 minutes. Yesterday I took this test at the gym, again on the treadmill, and I was able to go 1.12 miles which is in the middle of the "Good" range. Can I get to the top of the Good category in another six weeks? I figure it is worth a try.

Goals help motivate me, but the important thing is to keep exercising at a level that is beneficial to you.
