[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 2349462, member: 27991"] I hate running and always have. However, as part of a PT before baseball season one year, we had a new coach that had just retired as an Army Drill Sargeant required everyone on the team to run that mile and half in under 12 minutes. As a catcher and calculating 4 bases at 90 feet between each base, the maximum I would run at any given point would be 360 ft; a distance somewhat shorter than the 7920 ft required by Sarge. I completed the distance in 12th place at 10 min 12 secs, with all 20 teammates under the 12 minute mark. IF this is a requirement of the job, it should be required of EVERYBODY. I agree, setting standard requirements may skew gender quotas. Either enforce the standard as stated or lower the standard for ALL. [/QUOTE]
