What's a good mile time for a 12 year old girl?

Question

I'm 12 years old and I'm the fastest in my P.E class. My best mile time so far is 6:38. Is that good or bad? I play a lot of soccer and this summer my goal is to come back to school with a mile time under 6 minutes. This summer I wake up early and run 2.5k

Answer 1

sure its good but u can do better the more u practice. if i were u id run farther than 2.5k so u can increase ur endurence and stamina and it should make the mile run feel easier. as long as u keep training u should get better.

Answer 2

Yes, it is a good time for a 12 year old, and I like your goal of aiming for under 6!
