It means you run a mile in 8 minutes, thirty seconds.   Pretty decent pace, but not real speedy.

Take that number in miles divde by 186000 miles per second. That will leave your answer (x) by seconds. Divide x by 3600 (seconds in a hour). This will gave you hours. Divide the remainder by 60 (seconds in a minute). This will gave you minutes. The reminder is seconds, which should be less than 60 if your math is right.

The previous guy is basically right.  Build up some general fitness.  Try cycling or something else aerobic for 20-30 minutes on the days that you aren't running.  You may want to work in something faster around 2-3 weeks before you're timed for your mile.

That depends on your athletic ability.  Pro football players and Olympic track stars can run the 40 anywhere between 4.2 and 4.6 seconds.  Average athletes should be around 5.0-5.3 seconds.

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.

The best exercise to start with is plain walking.  Time yourself doing a mile.  Once you can do a mile in less than 12 minutes without being out of breath go to a mile and a half.  Do some stretching exercises.  As you begin to feel better (it does take a few weeks) you can begin to add in weight training.  do not jump into heavy weights, start small and use repetitions to build yourself up.

the average person walks about 3 miles per hour...so it takes around 20 minutes to walk a mile.  Depends on how tall you are.

Try increasing your distance.  For fitness and weight loss, it would be good to run for about 30 minutes 3 - 4 times a week.  Don't do it suddenly--build up to that.  A good rule of thumb to not hurt yourself is to increase mileage by about 10% each week.

If it is fairly new it is probably 400 meters, but it used to be 1/4 mile. There isn't much difference, but it is a lot if you are training for a mile run.

The following is a good link to help with your 40 time\n\nhttp://www.brianmac.demon.co.uk/dash.htm

our cross country team this year posted times of around 20 minutes.  The top 5 on our team usually got around 16:30.  But thats high school athletes.  Start aiming for 20 or so and as you run more, work your way down.  Also for long-term energy.. eat all types of pasta.

You might want to use the link listed below to calculate your time.  There are quite a few of these javascript programs available and all are very similar.  As a marathoner, I have found these calculators to be very useful from time to time in determining the required pace needed to achieve a specific time in a marathon.  Hope this helps.\n\nhttp://www.marathonguide.com/fitnesscalcs/pacecalc.cfm

When you run do some sprint work.  run at a moderate pace for about 100ft, then sprint  a hundred, keep doing htis.  track workout work best so you can maybe do a 1/4 lap interval then raise it to a half lap alternating between sprint and moderate pace. you will be amazed at the difference in your overall speed over time

4:58 is quite good for a frosh miler (1,600). 11:46 is a bit slow on the 2M (3,200) a more competitive time would be about 11:00 flat.\n\nThe 3-5-6 times are good for a frosh, especially the 3M. Do some speed work and get the mile time down...\n\nBlue Hyena...OLYMPIC hopefuls run 4:10 miles and 8:30 2 miles? Please....If someone's running 4:10 for a mile, then they're probably running about 8:50 ~ 9:00 for 2M. Conversely, if they're running 2M in 8:30, then they're likely a sub 4:00 miler....
