What should my time be in the 1mile and in 2mile?

Question

I am a sophmore and i have ran track for 4 years and i was wondering if what i run are good times I run a 6min and 45 seconds in the 1mile and in the 2mile i run like a 14min and 30sec

Answer 1

hate to break it to you no they aren't good times, but running isn't just about competing keep up with it.

To compare my time as a Soph was 5:10. Didn't run the 2 mile but I know people who were running 11 minutes and under as Sophmores.

In contrast we have a freshman on the team this year running 4:20 mile.

Answer 2

well... they're not great.  

i'm a freshman who has just started running this year and has never done sports before that and my mile is 6:06 for the 1600 and 14:25 for the 3200(while i was sick and probably shouldn't have been running).  you have room for improvement, try for sub 6:00 on the 1600 and sub 14:00 on the 3200.

Answer 3

its a pretty good time but you can always get better, for a mile try 6 min, and for two miles you should try 14 min.

Answer 4

those are pretty... i guess

im a freshman and i\this year was my first year of track and my bests were 6.32 in da mile and 14.33 in 2...

so i cant say that there anywhere near bad...

but i hope by the time i have 4 years of track under my belt i have improved alot!

you still have 2 more years to improve and get better... which you will! keep working hard and you will get faster! also to keep in shape during the off season join xc [if you already havent :D] it will help you alot!

good luck!

Answer 5

I was a 7 minute miler all through highschool and never improved, but I do enjoy it still and have been running for 15 years.  I am 5'9" and 175lb, and that's the best I can do for myself.  Depending on your height, weight, you may just be stuck in that range.  You could change up your practice, by including sprints, and steps in interval workouts.  It will help you improve slightly.
