1 1/2 mile, 11:38, good?

Question

I'm 13 and I play tennis, for endurance my coach makes us run a mile and a half non-stop for camp this summer. I did it 3 times, my first two were exactly 12:30 each time. and my most recent one was 11:38. Is this good and if you have anytips how to drop this even lower. I want to become a pro tennis player. All answers welcome, thanks for the tips.

Answer 1

yea that is pretty good. if your going into eight grade that is excellent and if you going into freshmen that is still pretty good! when i was a freshmen i used to get like 12 minutes.

Answer 2

If you play tennis then stamina is important.  Are you tired when you're finished running the 1.5 mile?  If so, work on your stamina.  

I'm 27 and I've been married for over 7 years.  When I joined the military 9 years ago I had to run 2 miles and my time was 11:21.  Now for testing purposes we only have to run 1.5 miles.  I ran my last 1.5 mile in 9:27 and that places me in the upper 2-3% of the military.  So if you were to join the military your time would probably put you in the upper 30-40% of most males.  Most guys in Special Ops can run 1.5 miles in around 9:00. Then again, I work on computers/servers all day and I don't really train that hard anymore either.  I just try to maintain at this point.  

11:38 is an above average time for a kid your age.  Your averaging a 7:46 mile at that pace.  Keep working and make your goal to get down to about a 6:30/mile pace.
