Average time for a young adult male non-athlete is about 7:30.

outdoors it depends on how old the track usually is. if it is old it may take 5 laps to get in a mile. however assuming that it is a regular track it should be 400m regaurdless of the shape of the track. \n\nsprinters at my school run around the track on average, in  55sec

I'm 21, amateur cyclist.\n\nI usually take my bike for 2 miles.\n\n1 mile is about 7 minutes, I believe.

I've been running track and cross country for almost 6 years, best mile was 5:15 and best 2 mile is 10:58.  Good starting times are around 6:30 for the mile and 12:45 for the 2 mile

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.

nobody can give you the right answer unless you have given them your body weight, height, and the intensity level at which you jog (as determined by the heart rate you maintain for that half hour)...\n\nall other answers would be a guess and might not even be close for your estimates...\n\ngood luck

It really depends on what you're comparing to, for figuring out if it's a good time.  Your age and sex make a difference too.\n\nChecking out usatf.org, the American world record for the 8K is 22:04 by Alberto Salazar (the 21:03 was wind-assisted) for the men, and 24:36 by Deena Kastor for the women.\n\nChecking out local races to my home state of NJ, it seems the top men turn in times around 26-30 minutes, and the top women in 34:30-37 minutes (this is just in the beginning of 2006).\n\nYou can also plug your times into an age-graded calculator to figure out your age-adjusted performance.  Click on the second link below, and enter you time, age, select 8 kilometers as the race distance, and hit the calculate button.  It's a good way to compare your performances as you get older.  Percentages of over 60% are considered Local Class, over 70% Regional Class, over 80% National Class, and over 90% World Class.\n\nAs for me, I've always trained for long distance so far, but occasionally enter shorter races.  My best 8K was at the end of last year, a modest 33:44.  For me, any race in which I do a PR is a 'good time'.

The average marathon is about 3.5-4 hours. Marathon runners have to pace themselves so they don't die, and still some do die. The record time set for marathon wasn't done by a man who sprinted.\n\nHe would be hard pressed to sprint top-speed for 40 minutes even if he was a super athlete.

I personally run the mile, as a highschool Track runner, so I know what you mean. I can tell you this-nothing anybody says on here is going to help you. Maybe you're like me...and one day it will just click. I had a really funky day once...and I got like a 5:24 in the mile...and as I came in for the last hundred meters...I ran into a guy and fell. I later bombed in my 3200 meter also...I decided that day I'd never accept that again, and since then I have been training my hardest. It needs to come within-figure out what can do this for you. Athletes aren't just talent, they are motivation.

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.

there are 2.23 km in a mile and it takes about a half hour to walk a mile so about 15 minutes i would assume.\n\nYou can run a mile in 4-6 minutes.

going at a steady fast but not 'speedwalking pace' i do a mile in 15-20 minutes...up and down hill. i am short (5'5). if you have longer legs you may get there faster, haha, but 30 minutes should be about right...if you have never walked before, you may want and need to build up...everyone has different needs and abilities or limitations. best to try walking and slow down or stop if it seems to be to difficult...a little out of breath is good, a faster heartbeat is good, a little sweat is good...chest pains, gasping for breath, bad.

Assuming you're jogging the recommended 20 minutes at a slow to moderate pace, roughly 2 miles.

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.

400 meters is a 1/4 mile or 5280feet divided by 1/4 which is 1320 feet. At a fast pace that should take about 2.5 to 3 minutes to walk. Fast runners run it in under a minute
