Jasmine has set this fitness goal for herself. I will run a four-minute mile by running two sprints three times per week for four months. How would her track coach MOST likely respond to this goal

Question

It is neither specific nor realistic.
It is both specific and realistic.
It is specific but not realistic.
It is realistic but not specific.

Answer 1

Jasmine's goal of running a four-minute mile by running two sprints three times per week for four months is specific in terms of the desired outcome (a four-minute mile) and the training plan (two sprints three times per week). However, the goal of running a four-minute mile may not be considered realistic for most individuals, as it is an extremely challenging and competitive time that is typically achieved only by elite athletes.

Therefore, the coach would most likely respond that it is specific but not realistic.
