Question

Is running the mile in 6 and a half minutes or less by the time you are 15 sound like a good time??

Answer 1

its pretty good, depends on how much you run

Answer 2

Yeah that's pretty good, just like my speed or im a little slower actually...

Answer 3

It depends on what you do.  If running is your sport, and you've always been in shape, you may need to set a higher goal.  If you're just starting out, thats actually a very good goal.  its a personal thing, but i'd say in general, the average 15 year old could run a 6:30, and that it isn't unreasonable.

Answer 4

Yes that is a good time. 5 minutes is a great time.

Answer 5

Lol @ people saying thats a good time, A competitive time for a 15 year old girl is sub 6, a great time is 5:30 or faster.

Answer 6

Yea it is a good time! Anything around 6 minutes is good

Answer 7

Pretty good

I'm 13 and I can run a 6:10

Answer 8

If you're a 15 year old girl, it's decent, but it also depends on how long you've been running. If you've been running long distance for awhile, you should probably be getting close to 6:00. If you're just starting running, it's fine.

Answer 9

Thats actually pretty good. im in cross country and ran one in 6:48.

Answer 10

h**l yes it does.

Answer 11

yeah, that's definietly on the fast side...way to go!
