Whats a good time to run a half mile in?

Question

i'm 40 years old and a half mile run is required as part of the requirements for employment.

Answer 1

depends on if you're a runner or not. If you are you should aim for 3:30 or less. If you're not a runner (not in shape) try to aim for 4 minutes or less. hope i helped you out some!! =)

Answer 2

about 5 min should be a pretty good time for a half a mile  

Answer 3

3 minutes or less is considered a decent time. For an actual athlete around 2:30 is a good time. 2:00 or less is for professionals and olympians.

Answer 4

6 minutes

Answer 5

It depends on the job. You should be all set with a time under 4 and a half minutes.

Answer 6

I run 3 miles in 30 minutes and that's not considered fast.  I don't know what field of work you're in, but my guess is that 6 minutes is more than reasonable to run a half mile in.  Is there a time limit for the half mile, or just that you can do it?
