The woman just never ran that often and the soccer player ran under the 7min and he was just playing around. Also, arent all the athletes on that show retired and have been for years? The contestants, well they are never in the shape they think they are in.
You're right, I forgot about the soccer player. But still: Professional athlete, you'd think that being generally fit would help them, right? And it's not like they have no notice that they are going on the show, they could train up a bit. My dad is over 50, has a spare tire, doesn't exercise at all, and twice a year manages to run 2 miles in 15 minutes.
