Mile Run

I think running 15 minutes is a really good thing to do, because the more you run the better you will get. I know it's very hard to run at the begging (semester), but I believe you can do anything if you try. So that's why, while I'm running I always want to start off slowly and build my strength so that I don't get too tired by the end. Practice makes perfect the more you do it the easier it gets.i think running is a great thing for all of us. It gets us moving and its good for your heart.

it depends on if you are competitive. to win you would probably need about a 5:00 - 5:15 but im not quite sure because i am a 15 year old female and that's what i run it in, but i am in track. i would say anywhere from 5:30 - 6:00.

About 20 minutes is an ok time (about what I run). 18-19 minutes is considered a very good athlete, under 17 is elite, Olympic almost.

Our HIGH school state champion runs sub-15s for 5Ks, consistently. The world record is 12:37, held by Bekele.

In US marathons held during 2012, the average finish time for men was 4:18. The average finish for women was 4:43.

it depends on how fast you walk to be honest. an average person walks at about 3mph which translates into 20 mins per mile. so about 6 and a half hours... but like i said, everyones different

One lap is 400 meters, so 3000 meters is 7.5 laps.

I'm 47 and just did 400m in 1:08.I'm 4 weeks into a 6 week leg strength program and knocked 8 seconds off my previous best time.

There is no official record for ten year olds because there is not a national race, but you could get the record at your school. In 7th grade there is a cross country team and they race for two miles and when you get to highschool it increases to two.

I am 11 and I personally don't think that I run fast. In P.E., we do mile runs almost every time (every 2 days) and I feel like people are definitely getting better. It really matters on how fast you are and how much strength you have. Here is the average for boys and girls in my P.E. class.

Boy:8 minutes

Girl:6 minutes

Yes that is a very good time. The average time for 13 year old boys is about 7 minutes.

my is 2:55 and i'm not joking

It's actually exactly 3/4 of a full lap on a traditional 400M track. One full lap is .2485 miles (400M out of 1609.344M in a mile).

Easiest and best way to look at it is you are going to travel around 3 parts of the track, I assume you are looking at a 300 meter run. It's basically 3 our of 4 major parts of a track. Two straightaways and a curve or two curves and one straightaway will give you the number you are looking for (as each part of the track is 100 meters or .06213 miles (.06213*3=.18642)).

A 23-year old man should be able to run a mile is about 8 minutes. Most people should be able to walk a mile in about 20 minutes.

i am saying about 18 laps well that's what my coach said.

Im 15 and im in 10th grade. I just time myself yesterday and ran 3.00 miles in 17:29.6 I dont do track or cross country so idk if that is good or not.

On a standard track, one would run on the inside lane and do four complete laps to run 1600 meters (app one mile). The runners who run in any of the outer lanes get a staggered start (head start) to make up for the distance that one loses because of the wider turns. So, just stay on the inside lane and do four laps.

A good time for a 12 year old boy would be in the low 20s. Like, 20-22. But, I'm 13 and i ran my first 5k ever in 19:04.

A very fast one is 9 minutes something. My friend from 7th grade ran 1.5 miles, he always got first place on every meet. He was very good. His time was 9 minutes and something, that's a pretty fast time.

On a typical track, which is a training, high school, and a college track there are 8 lanes. However, on an olympic or professional track there are 9 lanes.

A functioning, fit human being should run about a 12.4. If you're one of those people that is not bad, but not super good, should run about 11.7. If you train your heart out or you are just a prodigy, you should be somewhere from 11.2 to a 10.8. Elite/Olympic runners hit about 10.1/10.3 to 9ish.

hello, the answer to your question is a 1minute 10 to 20 second pace. i am sure this is a good time to run because it got me to the state finals and I'm only a junior and i was running with the high schools team.

I am 12 and I run about 11 miles per week. I am a little sore but I end up being fine. I run 1.25 miles and cross train on Sunday, cross train on Monday and Tuesday, do 10 100-meter sprints Wednesday, rest Thursday, 6 miles run Friday, 3.1 miles and cross training on Saturday.

No one on record has broken the 3 minute mile in the last 116 years (since the first modern Olympics). Any records older than that are up for speculation since the mile was not always a standardized race. Here are a few cool stories though:

In 1870 a native American ran behind a horse for a mile. The horse was clocked at 2:40, the native American was not clocked. However, eye witnesses noted his distance behind the horse at the start and at the end of the mile as being very close to the same.

Ladas of Argos in the ancient Greek Olympics. No specific time was recorded, and the distance was 20 stades (about 2.5 miles), but the inscription on his statue says "His speed was demoniac, nor could it even be described."

Asahel from The Bible (2nd Samuel 2) during a battle, chased Abner running fast enough to impale himself on the butt end of a stationary spear which went through his entire body including the armor which he was wearing during the chase. The physics of such an account would suggest that a minimum speed of over 20mph (3 minute mile pace) would have been needed for the blunt pole to travel in one side and out the other side of his body through armor and muscle.

In England during the time of the Roman Empire (2nd century CE) entire tribes of warriors (with similar lifestyles to the native Americans) were noted as being able to catch and overwhelm horse riders while running on foot.

I would be difficult to get any of these, or the dozens of other accounts, to be recognized and accepted by modern scholars. And none of them could be labeled with an exact time or proven to be under a 3 minute mile, but they make for an interesting study.
