How long for a 16 year old to run approx. 2.5 miles?
Question:
Answers:
Not sure, but for years the standard for males 18-25 was 1 1/2 miles in 12 minutes for basic fitness.
I would think good would be anything under 30 minutes, very good would be 20 minutes.
For you, a seven minutes mile should be no problem.
10.5 minutes
about twenty minutes, on level ground at 75 degrees.
BTW, The second mile is exactly the same distance as the first mile, in this universe.
& minute mile is pretty fast - I'd say more like 8 1/2 to 9 realistically
That depends on the 16 year old. How truly fit you are, how much training you've had, how fast you run. How long it takes to run 2.5 miles is different for everybody. You won't know until you do it. There are women my age who can run 2.5 miles in under 20 min. I take closer to 25 min. It's all individual.
im 14 and i recently ran a 5k race which is 3.1 miles in 25.33 and I know I did very good for my age.
start at 10 minute miles.....i assune you are not currently running.....it takes time....after a month or so, you will get down to 8 minutes per mile.....don't get discouraged....be patient....
