What is the average time for a 34 women to run 10km?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

5 km isn't a marathon, it's about 1/8th of a marathon.

And the time would be hugely dependent on the fitness level of the runner. Somewhere between 20-40 minutes for someone who do manages to run/jog the whole stage.

Should you eat after running?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You are actually supposed to drink water after a run because when you are dehydrated, you need something to quench your thirst. The best type of drink to consume after a good run is something like cool water or a cool drink that has electrolytes added to it (sports drink). One thing you should NEVER drink after running is an energy drink such as Monster, Red Bull, Amp, ect. because it makes you even MORE dehydrated and destroys some of your minerals, which causes you to feel dizzy and drowsy.

* The length of the track and the width of each lane are specified by the IAAF. * If the number of competitor is more than ten in the 100 meter sprint event, then, preliminary heat races are held. The winners or the top sprinters will qualify for the next round. * Any sprinter with a false start will be warned after the first attempt. After the next false start, he will be disqualified. * The records may be made only on the track which is made of such a substance which allows runners to run with spiked shoes. * The athlete is not given any credit if he or she does not finish the race. * The time of the event has to be measured with a permitted automatic timing device. * The radius of the outside lane of the track cannot be more than 50 meter. * No athlete is permitted to run inside the inner curve of the track.

ICE ICE ICE your injuries and make sure your shoes have full support.

How much time would it take to run 5K at a 8 minute 6 second mile pace?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Since 60 minutes is "an hour" and you are running at 5.2 miles per hour for 60 minutes, the answer would be 5.2 miles. (Maybe it would be easier to under stand if you change miles per hour to miles in an hour.)

What are the negative effects of exercise on bones and joints?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I would imagine most all of us would agree that exercise is beneficial to the body. However, many individuals do not understand how the body reacts or responds to exercise, and therefore do not take the appropriate course of action when going through a routine. In other words, the body must warm up first by stretching, or (if using weights) starting light.

Too much too soon, and muscles tear, bones can break or fracture, sprains can occur, etc. Some older adults can have a stroke, or heart attack when exercise is excessive. Everyone (no matter what age) should have a physical before starting an exercise routine.

In addition, everyone should obtain good counsel from an appropriate source through researching articles and books, and by a good coach or mentor. In addition, for exercise to be effective, the body needs to tightly couple exercise with a proper diet. They go hand-in-hand. If one is going to a fitness center, make sure the leading individuals have the appropriate training to guide correctly, and know how to handle emergencies if they should occur.

For information about all the benefits of exercise, see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

What is the average time to finish a half marathon for a man over 60?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

How many years over 50? What is your weight, gender, present fitness level and training status.
I could still run a 1.19 at 50, however at 53 I am now only managing 1.24 at present. (I was 1.15 at 47). After 50 it is more difficult to predict times, the body cannot take the same effort required in training. It is really important to include rest days in one's schedule, it is better to set 1 mile target times and stick to them i.e. 8 mins very mile etc. The most elementary error to make is to not do the training and too start off too quickly.
Best of luck in your challenge, a time of under 2 hours would be considered to be acceptable and suitably challenging and would require 9 minutes per mile.

How long should a person rest after a marathon?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

After personally finishing 35 marathons I can still say this is not a simple answer. It certainly depends on how hard you pushed it. I have completed marathons totally exhausted and followed the "rest one day for every mile rule." (26 days) I have friends that "participate" in marathons but run very slowely and run one marathon each month. Frank Shorter, silver medalist in the Olympic marathon said, "Run your next marathon when your blue toenails have grown out!" It takes about 6 months to regrow a toenail!
