Hello. I have a question about cross country.?

Question

If I can run a mile at 6:30 race pace, and a 2 mile at 14 minutes, how much do you think 2.5 miles would take me? What would be a reasonable goal?

Answer 1

hmmm 2.5 miles would probably take you 18 min? i believe in XC you run 5k which is about 3.1 miles though.  

Answer 2

probably 18 minutes

Answer 3

about 17:35 or 17:40  2 miles in 14:00 is a 7 minute mile, that would be 17:30 for 2.5 miles, but you seem to slow down from 1 mile to 2 so a little more slowing for 2.5 miles.

Answer 4

16-17 minutes.

thats what my 2.5 mile is.

:]

Answer 5

I would expect your time for 2.5miles to be 18:00-18:30 and a good goal would be to run faster than 18:00.  

Also, your projected 5K time is 22:15.
