How fast do most 7th graders run a mile?

Question

I am in 6th grade right now and I want to try out for crosscountry in 7th grade and i want to know how fast i should train to do a mile at.

Answer 1

i ran a 6:25 when i was in sixth grade but it was only after i joined track

although i typically run short distances, i still did pretty good on the mile

Answer 2

Most 6th and 7th graders can run around 6:20 for a mile.......that's like average for fast people.......If you are in the middle maybe 7 minutes?

But, question? X-Country isn't just one mile...it's at least 2.........

and for a mile.....just train a very SLOW mile one day, sprints the next, rest the next day, then do hill workouts, then repeat. The sprints help with your beginning and end of meets.....and also are a part in your endurance building....but the most is in the slow mile jog.......the rest is so you don't overwork your muscles and hurt something.......the hills are important bcuz most people walk the hills, so jogging or running up the hills will automaticely raise your place in a meet.

Good Luck!!!!!!

Answer 3

Im in grade 9 and when i was in grade 6 I raced against grade 7 & 8. and I got 62 out of 300. Most of them were running too fast at the begining of the race and just walked the middle and end. So keep a steady pace and then run as fast as you can at the end of the race. Good luck.

Answer 4
