Running/walking a mile. How long does it take you?
443243
It takes me four minutes and fifty-four seconds to run a mile. I am fourteen years old and will be turning fifteen in May.

To improve my mile and a half time, I started adding in a strong sprint for part of the run.  This then helps you to also pick up your overall pace as well- if you run a flat 8 miles an hour the whole way through, it seems like you are going pretty fast, but if you do a sprint at 10.5 miles an hour for 3-5 minutes, and then slow to 9 miles an hour, the 9 doesnt feel so bad any more.  I got my mile and a half down to under 8 minutes using that method- not great, but nothing to be embarrased of, either.

two or three miles. But any running is better than no running

The average walk is said to be about 3 miles per hour or in other words about 20 minutes per mile.

why dont you run?  2 miles isint that far, should take like 20-min max.

Well ... if you've been running for 6 months now, you probably know that there is no "average" pace for different types of runners. Personally I would be very unhappy with anything over 30 minutes, but I know some people who run frequently and would still be pleased to come in under 40.\n\nSo here's how to set your goal. First you have to figure out with some degree of accuracy what sort of shape you are in. While I suppose you could just go out and run your 5 miles hard, look at that time, and try to improve .... but it's hardly the only way to do so. You may know your mile time, or you may not but it's easy to find (eg. stopwatch+track). So if you now know how fast you can run a mile, running 5 miles can be roughly predicted from that time. If your mile is 6:00 minutes, expect around 6:50 pace for the 5. If you run a 7:00 miles, 8:00 would be about it. If you ran an 8 minute mile, expect around 9:10. Clearly there is room above, below, and between those times, so feel free to check out the link at the bottom.\n\nThen comes the fun part. Be honest with yourself here, or you'll find your goals are extremely disproportionate to what you can/can't do. Are you a sprinter? Are you truly a marathoner at heart? Is 5 miles the *perfect* distance for you? Or could the mile have been your true event, so the predicted time is far too fast? If you are better at the really short events, you can expect to see your 5 mile time drop of considerably .... many 200m runners would have loads of trouble in a 5mi race. Milers will see their times drop off considerably as well (a few seconds more than the given amount). For people who are best suited to a 5mi run, those estimates might be a bit too conservative. etc etc etc ...\n\n*note* I'm referring to what distance your body is most suited to running, not what you enjoy running most.\n\nThen, you have your immediate goal for what you can run at this very moment. If you're looking for a goal as you move forward with your training, it all comes down to how aggressive you want to be. Take some time off, and work away!\n\nGood luck mate, here's to good times!

I'm a highschool Cross Country and Track runner, in California. Now if you are talking average in terms of a random sample of people...about 28-30 minutes. If you are talking among runners...probably about 20. A good runner will get 17 minutes *Like me =)*k and a very good runner 16 minutes. Exceptional runners will get 15 or so, and the absolute elites will get 14. I hope this helped you.

The answer, of course, varies for each individual depending on how fit you are, how often do you train and what your goals are. \n\nIf you are very aggressive, you can do it in 28 weeks. Start by walking, slowly, for a\nmile. Two days later, walk 1.5 miles. Every other day, increase the distance by half a mile until you get to 3 miles. Rest your muscles on the "off" day. Hold that distance on Tuesday and Thursday, while increasing by one additional mile on your weekend session (either Sat or Sun).\n\nOnce the long walk reaches 10 miles you can cut the distance in half every other weekend, increasing the long one by 2 miles each time. When the long one\ngets to 18 miles, you can do it every third weekend, covering 8-9 miles on the "short" weekends.\n\nAfter about the third week of training, insert a one min jog into your runs, after 4 min of walking. If this feels fine after 2 weeks, drop to 3walk/1jog. After 3 more weeks, drop to 2-1. If all goes well after another 3 weeks or so you could go to 1-1 during the week, and 2walk/1jog on the long run.\n\nFind the ratio that works best for you, that will leave you feeling strong at the end, and recovering fast from these long ones. The pace for all of\nthese should be very, very slow.

I'm doing the same thing and i find that rewarding myself is the best starter . after a week of running i bought a ipod now my tunes help me keep going . it takes 30 days to create a habit . so push yourself through the motions and in 30 days your body will want to .

I started by cutting my protions in half. I also got a pedometer. Its a device that counts your footsteps. 10,000 steps is 4 miles. This is really not that many steps... once u measure what your daily average steps are.. make a realistic goal for yourself... I started at around 7,000 steps.. when i made the goal of 10,000 it started melting off. I lost 45 pounds in 1 year, and have been able to successfully keep it off. Please keep in mind, that MOVEMENT is key. I'm not so much a walker, nor to I gym.. getting that pedometer help me obtain a goal that i set for myself.....  Dont starve between meals, or skip meals,  or eat 1 time a day... your blood sugar levels get bad, and you start to have headaches.... and GRUMPINESS....... Goodluck...

Running is the best way.  A 10 K is about 7 miles so you can work you way up to that.  It might be helpful to know the terrain.  Are there hills or is it flat?  If you are not a regular runner now, then start slow and stretch a LOT before running.

To travel 3 miles in 30 minutes, you need to walk at a speed of 6 miles per hour.  Average walking speed is about 4.5 feet/second, or about 3 mph, so you'd have to walk roughly twice as fast as you would normally, which is really more of a run I suppose.

12 miles per hour\n\nIf you run 1 mile in 5 minutes means you have to run .2 miles per minute.   (.2 miles per min X 5 min = 1 mile)\n\nIf you run .2 miles per minute for 60 minutes you would have run 12 miles. (.2 mpm X 60 minutes = 12mph)

running is an impact sport though not as bad as boxing or contacts. Don't start off running 6-7 minutes straight. Instead only run for about 2-4 minutes, walk for a few -3 and run a little more again. Don't try to run a mile the first day out because you will hurt muscles that aren't used to running. Run a 1/4 mile, walk 1/4, run 1/4, walk 1/4. DO this for like 3 days a week for a week or two to build your resistance and muscle up. Afterwords, go to 1/2 run, 1/4 walk, 1/2 run, 1/4 walk. repeat this again for a week or 2. Don't add too much too soon becaue you'll make yourself prone to shin splints or stress fractures or ankle sprains or arch pains. Also, when you run, USE RUNNING SHOES. Not tennis shoes or basketball shoes. RUNNING SHOES. What kind depends on you but remember this, you get what you pay for with running shoes. when actually running, pace yourself and try to hit with the heal and roll the foot forward and kick off with teh toes and plant of foot. don't make your knees stiff either. Stand up straight and breath in through nose, exhale through mouth. breath in, three or four steps, breath out. Good Luck.

Everyone is different.  You will have to know how to breath correctly as well.  Try to do most of your exercising outdoors.\n\n  I did a lot of mine on the treadmill 4-8 miles at one time and when I went out doors to exercise, I thought that I would die and I had not even jogged 1 mile.\n\nWithin  a couple of weeks I was jogging in the heat for 6 miles at a time.  Stick with it, it will come.

Are you asking how long it would take to run 17 miles for you or an answerer? You need to know your avg. speed for a distance, preferably the longest you have ran and then multiply that by 17 and that will give you an approx. time you will run in 17 miles. Not including the other factors that need to be factored in (weather, running route, and fitness level).

umm...run alot more.....during my mile i walked a little bit and made under 8 mins....but if your first time was 10..DON'T WALK!
