Jasmine has said this fitness goal for herself: I will run a four-minute my hole by running to sprint three times per week for four months. How would her track coach most likely respond to this goal?

Question

A. it is neither specific nor realistic
B. it is both specific and realistic
C. it is specific but not realistic
D. it is realistic, but not specific

Answer 1

The best response from Jasmine's track coach would likely be:

C. it is specific but not realistic.

While Jasmine's goal of running a four-minute mile is specific, it may not be realistic depending on her current fitness level, training experience, and the amount of time she has to train. Generally, achieving such a significant improvement in running performance could be difficult within the four-month timeframe.
