Whats the average time for...

Question

A 14 year old male to run a 3 mile cross country race? This is my first year in high school and we run three miles. My best two mile is 12:30 and mile is 6:25

Answer 1

http://www.runnersworld.com/cda/training...     this tells you what you should be for the 5k (slightly over 3 miles) is 19:56. so probably for three miles and some training you will be around 19. Average is between 22-24.

Answer 2

First of all, your pace for the 2 mile is a 6:15, yet your mile is 6:25? Odd. Haha. Anyways, we'll round your mile to a 6:20. Multiply that by 3, get 19 minutes. If there are hills in the course, your time will definitely go up, and of course, your pace won't likely be the same 6:20 for those 3 miles, so all in all...I'd say if you break 20, then you're doing fine, and just keep working your way down from there! Good luck!
