Ah, you are also familiar with the Cooper test 🙂 You seem to have done it in the original way though. For some reason, in school, we only did it in the 2.5 kilometers version.
Nicely done for not playing any sports and wearing big non-sport-shoes, haha.
I was into sports until I started high school, approximately. By then I had started smoking and wasn't really interested in healthy habits anymore. (Luckily this changed in my 20s but I was still smoking until my early 30s).

Now I think of it, I played sports but not 'officially'. I basically played outdoors, almost daily, especially loads of soccer and all kinds of old fashioned outdoor children's games. Only at the age of 14, I started going to a sports club to play badminton. A couple of years later also table tennis/ ping-pong. And in Uni tennis, squash, basketball and, briefly, boxing haha.
I only smoked from the age of 17 to 19 and very little and perhaps 10 times afterwards. I started drinking a bit at the age of 14 though and more intensely around 17, heavily at age 18 ( Uni ).
Haha, you seem to have been very much into sports after all. But I understand, I also wasn't so organized with it, in the sense that I didn't compete or play in an official team or anything. Except air rifle shooting. I was competing in that sport from the age of seven up until 12 or 13 I think. But that's another kind of sport I guess...I really enjoyed it though.
Yeah. I also started drinking at the age of 14 and I have had many years of partying rather hard. I guess I wanted to balance it with also working out quite hard. But back then it 'worked', I was so full of energy and felt invincible. Different times, for sure. I guess I was young, haha.
