The first day of gym for the year we had to run 3/4 mile. Then the 2nd gym class we had to do 1.5 miles. I just can't even believe that now. Being overweight and the last to finish never won me any favors from classmates (who had to wait for me). I absolutely hated it. This was why I never ever ran again until I started the C25K in April of 2008 20+ years later. I thought I hated it and it was too hard. All I had to do was learn to train right. PE teachers weren't always the best. We had that same thing in PE in highschool. The first day of gym for the year we had to run 3/4 mile. Then the 2nd gym class we had to do 1.5 miles.

I also dreaded running way back when. Found couch 25k when I was 49, and now I'm doing triathlons, running 3+ miles at a time (slowly), and planning for a half marathon in the Spring. Who knew running could be so much fun! Glad to have found your blog. I agree with you. couch25k should be taught in high school. I also dreaded running way back when.
