Good mile run for a 10 year old?

Question

I ran a mile in 7:42. How good is that? It's the third time I ran a mile my other times were.

8:19 (when I was 9)

9:05(when I was 9)

If I keep on Improving do you think I can get a scholarship on track?

Answer 1

That's a good time. Keep at it. Join cross country when U get to High School.

Answer 2

When you are younger...mile times are nothing. You shouldn't be worrying about scholarships in track.

7:42 is a decent mile, not matter what your age is. Wait until you are able to join the schools track team and you'll have a coach to coach you.

There you will be able to get your mile time down quickly, right now enjoy being a kid!

Answer 3

Pretty good except ur gonna have to get your time down to maybe 4:20 min in order to get anywhere in track

Answer 4

Yes! That's great! In high school, track and other running sports are required to do an 8 minute mile, and many people struggle with that( myself included! I'm just not a running person. haha) Keep running, practicing and learning better ways to run, and by the time you're in high school you will be awesome. So to answer your question, if you keep improving, it is very likeley you will be able to get a scholarship. Good luck (:
