Question

If i ran 2.5 miles in 27. 35 how long did i run the mile?

Answer 1

you ran an 11 minute mile

Answer 2

Divide the 27.35 by 5 then multiply by 2 - I would do it for you but I have a new keyboard and I don't know how to get the calculator up!!

Answer 3

2.5 miles = 4 kilometers and you time was 27.35

divide that by 2 to get you 1.25 mile (2k) time

27.35 / 2 = 13.31.5 (but we are to going to round it down because we are not concerned with 5/100 of a second) so we now have:

13.31 for 1.25 miles (2k)

Divide 13.31 by 5 (because 2k = 5 laps) = 3.06/ 400 meters (1 lap)

3.06 x 4 (laps) = 12.24/ mile

There are formulas out here for this kind of situations but they are designed for standardized race distance such as the 5k , 8k 10k 15k 21k and 42k  race distance.

Try to find a book entitled Road Racing for r Serious Runners by Peter Phitzinger.



(I am not sure of the spelling of his last name, the Goggle search by the title... that is correct) it also has training programs for cross country training for the 5k - 12k distance.  Get it and start building your distance running library at home today. The scientific knowledge you will acquire, will empower you to make good decisions in races that your competition will not.

That gives you the advantage, except against me ( the old man)

I hope this helps.

Good luck with your running

20 years of competing in road races from the 5k - the full marathon (42K).

Answer 4

you ran about a 14 min. mile. you could do a little improving.

good luck

Answer 5

Too long.  

Answer 6

we can't determine this

stop asking this question i saw it yesterday

Answer 7

Are you asking because you need help in one of your math lessons or because your trying to get serious about running? To be honest 27.35 minutes for a 2.5 mile is way to long. If your interested in running you need to cut that 27.35 down to a 11 to 12 minute two mile.
