>above sea level
What the fuck? If someone asks your mile time, are you actually going to include sea Level in your response? Also, you should be able to run a mile, jogging is slow shit. There is a difference. Next time, try it for time.

Fuck. I knew it. I suck.

Never gonna make it

don't listen to the memers, altitude does affect your running

if you exercise at heights for a while your body will get used to it and produce more red blood cells for oxygen transport

when you go back to normal heights (unless you live that high) you'll still have that increased red blood cell concentration for a while

Be the best that you can be, never give up!!

You got this!

Ehh ya don't suck too bad, unless you're literally only capable of jogging. Though back in my track days, I saw your typical skinnyfat DYEL's running 5:40s in the mile. Actual fatties running low 7's, coming in dead last. While your elitists came in sub 5 minutes.

Next time, I'd just try running for speed rather than jogging, but find some leverage as to what to pace yourself at per lap (if on track) or per quarter (if using a GPS watch or app)

Also, are you training for anything? Like are you trying to get fast or just timing for shits and giggles?

This is just the positive reinforcement /fit/ is against.

Altitude does affect it to an extent, but by no more than 10 seconds give or take, unless you're comparing running miles on Mt. Kilimanjaro VS long island.
