My mile time good for a 7th grader?

Question

i got 5:31 on my mile time is that good? and how can i cut it down to around 5:00 to 5:15 next year?

Answer 1

The US Air Force has a scale for different age ranges regarding appropriate run times per age range.  For males under 25 years of age, to achieve a perfect score of 50 points for run time, the individual must run 1.5 miles within 9 minutes 36 seconds.  I think 5:31 is very good for your age.

Answer 2

i ran a 5:20 as a 7th grader and im one of the top runners in my area now that im in high school so i would think 5:31's not bad. You just need to keep practicing and make sure you add speed work in. A lot of times its the last lap where you get a bad time so work on ur kick

Answer 3

Thats a good time. Just add running or jogging to your daily routine. Good Luck:D

Answer 4

Answer 5

it's good, add in sprint workouts.  Your times will have better results
