Marine girl crushes Navy PFT 1.5 mile run in 9:51

Why are so many of you getting uppity about this? Oh! A women with specialized training in running could do better than this chick's time? No sh*t. It's a Navy PFT not some horrid super slow performance at the Trials or something. The only person you should be trashing is OP for making this pointless thread.

That's really what we are doing.

I don’t know why people keep taking this Bartholomew guy up on his ridiculous threads. He’s obviously trolling and looking to stir the pot.

Fake news, girls aren't allowed in the USMC.

That Latina could run sub-10:00 for 3200m if trained properly. Talent.

Incredible. I was saluting through the entire video. So-called student athletes at liberal D3 pat-on-the-back farms cannot hold a candle to this patriot.

You get an army quartermaster desk job to serve your country too, you don't have to run at all.

A marine should be able to run. Their job is to shoot people with rifles, and you can't be too far away. They have to move into range, and be ready to move back out of range. 2400m is a good distance because that's about how far the best snipers can shoot with any accuracy.

She did great. She is very fit and displayed alot of determination. Great attitude.

Terrified of women - check.

Obsessed with trouser snakes - check.

At 17:34 in the video she says she can do 22 pull ups but couldn't do any when she first joined recruit training...so yeah, she is badass. most guys off the street cannor do 5 pull ups.

While respectable, plenty of student athletes at the service academies as well as competitive runners could do much better.

I disrespectfully disagree about the service academies part.

I ran a 6:56 after maxing out pushups and sit-ups...while I was attending a service academy.

Not a chance she can do 22 pull ups.

Stocky girl achieves mediocre fitness levels.

and...she will be in battle within a few years. Serving her country. And you?

LOL, this is funny. You obviously never served. I knew many WM's who did this daily. And 22 pull-ups.....ha, doublful.

You doubt she did 22 pullups? Based on the fact that she is female?

Im genuinely curious, I have no real perspective on this. My record is 27 pullups (dead hang to chin just over the bar, no kipping).

My understanding was the marines allow you to kip in their fitness test. This would adjust her 22 pullups down go equivalent to maybe 13 or 14 dead hang pullups. That seems not outrageous to me, semi believable. She has short arms, which helps her get her pullup numbers up as well.

Anyway, yeah. Why is this thread started? It is about as interesting as posting about some random high school freshman boy running 5 flat for the first time. Like, ok, good for him, but why is it noteworthy?

I’m in middle school and I ran a 9:31 1.5 mile…

In those giant baggy shorts she had to wear she should get at least 10 second time bonus. I’ll bet there are plenty of runners on this board who shoot theirs off but could not do 10 quality pushups or 4 quality pull ups.
