thats 21km/s for top atletes and 10.5km/s for amateurs.

your speed was 14.8km/s

That is pretty fast.

We got a regular John Freeman here

op not smoking does a lot.
I also was 2d best at gym at that age at my school despite not doing any sport.
outperforming all those sixpack fitness buffs in strenght, highjumping farjumping and distance runningm
(only in turning and sprint they did beat me.. I had strenth and endurance not agility and speed)

as for your performance
walking speed = 5-6km per hour
or 1km per 10 minutes.

matathon = 42km in 2 hr world record amateurs do closer to 4hr.

thats 21km/s for top atletes and 10.5km/s for amateurs.

your speed was 14.8km/s
but ofcourse it was only 10 minutes not hours on end.

shuttle run test is most common used here.

you start running
50 meter at 8km/s
(25m across a gym, cross the line, turn run back and make it before the beep)
22.5s before first beep (stage 1)

than it speeds up.. next 50m at 8.5km/s
(beep after 21.2s)

than 9km/s
(beep after 20s)

18.9s
18s
17.1s
16.4s

and so on.
for students to get a passing grade at highschool (upto your 18yo age)
thats basicly your C- or D.

females must make stage 9
males must make stage 11.
each stage above that is +0.5
so stage 14 for females and 16 for males is A+

while the shuttle test is heavyier than one stable speed due the turns and stops.. but you start also slower so hard comparsing.

your speed was comparable to stage 14, just shy of 15.
which being male would give you a 9/10 or an A- in usa numbers.

at your age I made untrained 13 in that test

the other less common test is the cooper test. run for 10 minutes..
250m per round.
6 rounds or. 1500m = passing grade
each full round more is +0.75 point.
(so 3000m in 10 min was 10/10 or A+)
you likely would have made 2500m in 10 min so thats a 8.5 or a solid B to B+

very good result.
I passed the cooper test with just 2000m (enough to get a 7) I could have gotten better but there was no timing.

so all in all you are in good shape but so are most at your age.
but with results like that you are in the top 10%

"but with results like that you are in the top 10%"

you mean top 90%

might need to change my name

Smoking is generally bad, but according to a study it can help increase endurance in athletes: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3001541/

I used to run 3km in 11 minutes, despite smoking half a pack of cigarettes every day.

Nope.

Drill sergeants get their jollies by making the boys train in full gear. They even have mysterious powers to control weather to ensure the boys are extra miserable when training. To ensure the boys constantly push themselves to their extreme outer limits drill sergeants will be constantly yelling at them.

LOL

Do you want me to give you a medal or something? Also, you'd only need to run slightly over 10 miles an hour.

you are in the math area perhaps;)

and if there are
1000 people
900 run slower
100 run faster
than you are in top 10%

with scores like that you must be in the top 10% in gym in your class.
just as I was back in the day.

only I also was in all the other classes;)

Sometimes. But I have yet to witness or hear of anyone sprinting 2.4km in 9:30 min fully kitted. That's just ridiculous.

So that's actually about 40 times as fast as John Freeman!

likely like the joke :

2 fat dudes tried every sport thinkable to loose weight.. never succesfull no motivation.

but suddenly one of them goes very fit.. the other asks how?

well the other say come watch a training.

he sees a parcour and his friend and an imcredible good looking lady.. who shouts.. I am Joan tucker and if you manage to grab me you can be my f*cker.
than they run for miles until his friend gives up..

after training fat one asks did you ever grab her? friend replies not yet but why you think I keep returning?
than the fat one talks to joan and subscribes to..

joan does report she is booked full but that another trainer will take him.
next week he arrivesfor his first he does see nobody there..
than a huge black man walks to him.. and ask are you the new subscriber?
he confirms but asks where is my trainer?
than the huge man whispers in his ear : I am Pete Class.. If I manage to grab you..

thats how a man runs 2.4km in 10 minutes;)
