How bad is a 15 minute mile?

Question

I have flat feet....

Answer 1

not very good an average time is like 10min so thats not great but not isalnely bad

Answer 2

To a large degree, it's relative to who's doing it -- height, weight, health, age, etc., etc.

A 15-minute/mile pace would normally be considered a "brisk walk" for the average runner, however.

Answer 3

There are sooooo many guys that can run a 5K in that time

Answer 4

that's horrible. but if you run regularly you'll be able to shorten it in no time.

Answer 5

I can run two miles in 15 minutes....and I'm a hurdler.

But if you're just starting, don't worry about it. Take your time, get in shape, get some arch support for those flat feet (or you'll get shin splints), and work hard.

The time will drop!

Answer 6

Answer 8

Did you walk

Answer 9

honestly, thats pretty bad.

but i used to run like a 11 minute mile, now I run a 4:50 mile  

Answer 10

A mile could be ran less than 15 minutes that's for sure.

It all gets better over time so dont worry.. if you're serious about running, keep running. The key to running is motivation. Motivate yourself. And everything else will fall into place. I believe in you.  

Answer 11

I am going to be honest it is pretty bad if you were running the whole time,  a good mile time for someone who doesn't run competitively is about 8-10 minutes

Answer 12

Well...It's not great but it's better than 20 minutes

It really depends on whether you walked or ran though.

For running, it's not too good :/
