Average time to run a mile?

Answer 1

Well if you run often and really have a passion for running. And you are in the track team and you are going to compete most times for males are going to be 5.35-6.10 and for females it will be 5.50-6.50. By the way this will have to be high school. So if you are going to compete good luck.

Answer 2

Since many, perhaps most, people are unable to run a mile and a half, there is no real answer to this question.

It also depends upon what 'running' means, and opinions differ. For example, everyone agrees that covering a mile in six minutes or less is running, but is someone who covers it in nine minutes running or jogging?

It is not unreasonable simply to pick a number. Let's suppose that covering a mile in 8 minutes or less is running. If so, it would take 12 minutes to run a mile and a half. Actually, that's a very good time. Anything under 15 minutes would still probably be considered good by average standards.

Answer 3

The previous answer of 7 minutes I thought was insufficient as well as inaccurate because my PE teacher claims even a female in her prime condition runs a 6-7 minutes mile on average, note IN HER PRIME CONDITION. I ran a regular 7-or so min mile when I was conditioned or rather in shape. For guys, it's a minute less, 5-6. But that's the standard for most athletes. We took a freshmen physical exam required by the State of California and the time limit for girls was under 10:30 and the guys 9:30.

In my school the lowest time you can get is 14 minutes. If you get it past 14 then you have to do it again. I got 8.20

A man named Bannister broke the 4-minute mile many years ago. To do that, he had to run full out from the get-go. I find it doubtful that amateurs can run the mile in 5-6 minutes, short of doping or whatever. I think someone is cheating themselves or their stop-watch is bad. The "average" run time is about 8 minutes. The "average" person can walk 4-5 miles per hour, so the run time should be just maybe twice that, so an hour long run distance is about 8-10 miles.

Actually i run about 6 to 6:30 for the mile no its not unusual and i dont dope. im african american so maybe that has somethin to do with it yall need to dope black people dont

Answer 4

Depends on how old you are. If you're in high school than 6 minutes. If you're in middle school than 6 and half maybe even seven.
