Is this a good mile time???

Question

i just got back from a track meet and i volunteered to run the mile.

my time was 7:28 minutes.....is that a good time??

Answer 1

7:28 is a good mile time. What you have to understand is that there is no real bad time , to running a mile. But for your age that is a very good time.

Answer 2

4:35 is the all time best mile time for a girl in high school.  7:28 is not a bad time but you have a ways to go and I would guess sub 6 would be good, sub 5 would be outstanding.  Also note the girl set this record in 1982.

Answer 3

For someone that does not run that is an ok time.

For someone that does that is a terrible time.

Answer 4

Anything under an 8 minute mile is considered good. Keep working out, and I am sure you will see good results.

Answer 5

under an 8 minute mile is good for a 15 year old girl..but i dont mean to put you down or anything...but a great mile time would be around 6 minutes or so that would be top 20 in the state potential...

im sure that through hard work and dedication you could drop time fast.

Answer 6

I think that 728 is a fantastic time for 15 years old.. Just keep looking ahead though, you can always improve!  Think about shaving a couple secs off each time you run...you'll be in the 6's before you know it- no matter how the competition goes, keep looking forward :-)   and train hard every time you run
