How fast should a 12 year old boy run a mile?

Answer 1

In my middle school we run the mile once a week. (when the weather's OK). I'd say the faster boys in 7th grade run about 7 minutes and most boys run 8:00-8:30 min. Most girls run 8:00-9:00. I'm a twelve year old girl and I run in the late 8s. We're graded on our times and I get a high B, and 8-8.5 is a low A, and anything lower than an 8 is a 95+.

Answer 2

i think a 12 year old girl should be able to run a mile in about 9 minutes at most. if you run frequently and keep in shape, you should be able to get some seconds off your time. if you really stick to it, you could get into 6 minute miles! so good luck!

Answer 3

it would probably take 10-12 minutes... if he ran then jogged Is that the average? Because I know an 11-year-old girl who ran a mile in 7 and a half minutes. so I think it depends on how fast that kid is!

Answer 4

Try do get in in under 11 minutes. Thats not a bad time for 12 years old. The world record is just below 4 minutes and a modestly respectfull time for a high school runner is less than 6 minutes.

Answer 5
