What is the average time to run a 5k for female and male?
That is a broad question. Age, the course and weather are 3 huge contributing factors to a specific answer, but if you are just interested in what the average from all ages, for all courses is then your answer is somewhere between 30 - 40 minutes.
High school track stars run the distance in 15 minutes routinely. College & pro runners do so in 14 - 15 minutes. World record holder are sub 13 minutes racers!!

How long will it take to run a 10k race for a runner whose average pace is 125 meters per minute?
If there are 1000 meters in a kilometer and a runner travels 125 meters per minute, that would mean the runner could travel one kilometer in 8 minutes (1000 / 125 = 8). If the runner is going to run 10 kilometers it would take (10 * 8) or 80 minutes to finish the 10 kilometers.

How many miles can a pair of running shoes last?
It all depends on your shoes.
I run Cross Country for my high school. Over the course of 3 years, I have put over 300 miles on my shoes over all kinds of terrain. They still offer good support and comfort, but the tread is wearing down a good bit.
The easiest way to tell how your shoes are wearing is:
1) Inspecting the tread on the bottom of the shoe. If the tread had holes in it or is becoming increasingly flimsy, your shoes probably need replacing. This is a sign of high use, like my running shoes...
2) Consider how your feet fit in the shoe. Not just sizing differences. If your experience feet, ankle, or shin problems (pain) it could be because of your shoes wearing out. The easiest was for a show to wear is in support. If the shoe has slowly lost its original "springy-ness" or comfort in the arch of your feet, chances are, the support in your shoes is becoming inadequate.
It is about .31 of a mile and on a track it is one time around and then 100 meters.
