How far are you supposed to be able to run in 12 minutes?

Question

coz i got 1.45 miles and i had to tell my coach that. and im just wondering is that good or bad

Answer 1

that's perfect! Keep up the great work and I hope running gets you far.

Answer 2

little more than 2 miles

Answer 3

That's really good. My miles are like 12 minutes. so over 1.5 miles is great.

Answer 4

Well, it really depends on how experienced and fast you are

Experienced runners will run 2.25 (5:20/mile) miles or more in that time frame, but don't worry: they've been training for years.

Beginning runners will possibly run just one mile in 12 minutes: their legs aren't used to the labor.

What you ran was 1.45 miles in 12 minutes, so you ran at a pace of 8:16/mile. That really isn't bad... most people can't even run one mile, let alone almost 1.5 miles in 12 minutes!

Answer 5

i mean it really depends on what kind of shape you're in and also what sport you're playing 1.45 miles isn't too bad at all. if you're an athlete you should be able to run a mile in at least about 6 minutes, so i guess it just depends on you i doubt your coach will be unhappy.
