Required Running

• Required Running is an almost every day thing during PE at Brown Middle School. Our hearts work beat by beat, second by second for 24 hours a day, never resting. Over the average lifetime, our hearts beats about 2.5 billion times. WHOA! Knowing that it’s one of the most vital organs keeping us alive, it’s important to keep it active and healthy.

• Required running consists of 30 second intervals of jogging and walking. We usually do this on the track (weather permitting) and it last anywhere from 10-12 minutes on average.

• Students will eventually have points deducted during this time if they continuously show no effort to jog during the designated 30 second jogging interval. Effort is key for BMS PE!
