A running question for all you runners out there!?

Question

I run cross country, and I was wondering if you knew what a good time for a 4k would be (2.4 miles). Oh, and the times should be for girls...

The best girl I know in my state ran a 14:05 as a junior (with no competition)...is that pretty good?

Answer 1

14:05 is really good for a high school girl thats a little under 5:40 pace, when most high school girls cant run a single 5:40 mile soo good job for that girl. sorry its not even close to elite like that dievion or whatever his name is said. elite women runners can run a marathon under 5:30 pace so i wouldnt exactly call that elite and that junior in highschools  time is  very believable. a really good time for a highschool girl would be something around or under 13:40

Answer 2

well any where under 16 is pretty good. but 14:05 is super. if that is your time to beat or compete against, try to dropping your time steadily. maybe 5,10,15 seconds at a time. before you know it you will be where you want to be. just remember to have fun and don't stress yourself. if you are focused, i am sure you can get it. good luck.

Answer 3

I ran cross country last year and we had som1 run a 13 min 2.4 and she won state so that person that ran 14 is real good

Answer 4

That sounds awfully fast.  I'm somewhat suspicious of the time.  She's moving at a 5:40 pace.  That's elite.

Answer 5

14 sounds great. I can only run about 1mil in 8 minutes so that is amazing.
