What do you think my mile time would be?

Question

I run Track & XC. My 800 time is a 2:55. I run a 25-ish 5K. What do you think my 1600 m time would be?

Answer 1

2:55 in the 800m converts to about 6:25 for the 1600m.  You should be able to run with 10 seconds of this time.

Answer 2

Should be able to pull low 6's, if you push yourself

Answer 3

In response to an earlier answer: 2:55 x 2 is not 5:10... there are only 60 seconds in a minute.  2:55 x 2 is 5:50.  I would say you would be able to run a 1600m in around 7:10-7:30.

Answer 4

You would run around a 6:40 your first time, but after running it a lot you could drop time.

Answer 5

last season when is ran an 800 in around the same time as you my mile time was like 6:30.

Answer 6

If you do 2:55 for 800 can you keep the pace up for another 800?

Most people running timed 5K tend to come home hard in the last 1 to 1.5 so at a rough guess I'd say you could comfortably do the 1600 in 8 or maybe 7.30 if you went hard.

Answer 7

well i also run cross country and track and 5ks so your in luck. lol. well if your getting a 25ish 5k thats pretty good. im 14 and i usually run it in the 19s thats just becauce i run a lot. and my 800 is 2:10 ish. and my best mile is 5:13 so i would say you can atleast get a 6:30.thats very good if you think about it.

Answer 8

probably somewhere between 7:30-7:45

Answer 9

7:00

Answer 10

7:15

Answer 11

Okay, 1600 m is double the distance of 800 m, so you double the time of 2:55.

That would be 5:50. You have to assume that you will get a little tired and not be that consistant, so add at least another minute.

Therefore, I'd say you would run it about 6:50.

Good luck!

Answer 12

well if you have a 2:55 for the 800, then i'm guessing your mile time would be about 6:20 or so. that's what i got when i ran it. actually, i think it would be closer to 6:15, but somewhere in that range.

Answer 13

Trevor doesn't know..early 6?

It'll probably be in the 6:30-7:00 range.

Answer 14

around 6 mins.

3x2=6
