What would be a good time for 1.2 miles?

Question

Im dooing cross country & i was curious what i should set my goal time for , if it helps i ran a 5k in 23.2 min. im in middle school so the goal shouldnt be to fast.

Answer 1

8 minutes, 15 seconds.

If you ran a 5k in 23.2 minutes, that's about 7 mins. 45 seconds per mile.

If you're only running 1.2 miles, you should be able to do it in 8 minutes, 15 seconds. You'll probably do even better than that, considering you'll need more speedwork than endurance.

Answer 2

I say about 9.50 minutes would be nice
