Answer 10

Yes, it is definitely fast. Faster than average at any rate. There are people who have run a mile in less than 5 minutes, but they are naturally gifted athletes who have worked and trained very hard for a very long time to get to a point where they could do that. 8 minutes is faster than I could run it when I was 12 and I was considered to be pretty fast myself. As long as you keep it up and stay focused, your speed will only increase. Have fun and be safe!

Answer 11

yeah, that's pretty fast, though anywhere between 5 and 7 minutes is where you want to be to really be considered "fast."

Answer 12

It's not super speed... well... okay, no it's not fast, but it isn't slow either.  Fast would be 6 minute miles, mid 6's for your age.  As you get into high school you see that the low 5's and mid 5's are what one would call fast and 6 minute miles can't get you a very good placing.  Then you have those one or two beasts that are in the mid to high 4's.  It's pretty cool if you ever make it to State in high school for Track and Field, you really have to see those girls run the 1600 (mile), it is amazing.

Answer 13

IT'S OK

Answer 14
