whast the distance of a 5k run?

A K IS ABOUT .65 MILE ...THEREFORE ABOUT 3.25 MILES

There is no official world record because the shortest distance measured is the 50.  The problem is that the coaches are measuring the times, so they can be way off compared to a computer doing it.  There's a big article here about Ben Johnson running the 40 in about 4.38.

If you have truly run 47:02 for a certified 10 mile race, you probably know way more than anybody here who is going to give you an answer.\n\nAs far as the 400 and 800, the best way to train for them is a lot of intervals on the track at or above your target race pace.\n\nIn case you haven't checked, the U.S. record for 400m for men 55-59 is 52.24, the 800m record is 2:06.83.

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).

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.

Equate distances and solve for time.\n\ngraces distance: 5*10 + 5*t    \nwill's distance: 15*t\n\nNote that I've started the clock when will starts.  That's because the question asks how long will must ride.\n\nNow, just equate the distances and solve for t.\n\nI get 5 minutes.\n\ngrace = 50+25 = 75\nwill = 5*15 = 75\n\nBtw, I graphed these on my TI-83 and looked for the intersection.  It's helpful to draw the lines.

I am doing lots of endurance leg weight work, to prepare. And long faster runs, of like 6-8 miles but like a minute slower per mile than my 10k race pace which will help in the shorter track distances.

I think almost all tracks are a quarter mile. I've always had to do 4 laps when running the mile.

long distance running :D

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....

15 year old girl (freshmen)\n5:41, but i'm a sprinter that was forced to run it lol so i'm hoping to improve it next year when i switch to distance

Long distance running.

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'.

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

It depends on the persons VO2 Max (how efficiently your body metabolizes oxygen in the blood).  A ten minute mile should be a fair jog but easily attainable for most, a five minute mile however is near impossible for (my guess) 98% of Americans.  An average one mile (sprint) for an average runner I believe is in the 7:30 minutes to 6:30 minutes range with some training of course.\n\nFor example I ran the Los Angeles Marathon (26.2 miles) and on my first attempt I finished 7,688 out of 25,000 and my average mile time was over 10:00 minutes per mile.  Less than 5% of all Americans will ever run a Marathon.

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

This method worked well for me when I was starting up my running again after about 5 years.  Clock with a car both the 1/2 mile spot that you can currently make and then the 2 mile distance goal.  Each day you run try to go a minimum of 15 seconds longer. If you happen to be running in a neigborhood, you can use mail boxes as your markers and try to go a minimum of 4 mail boxes/homes further each time you run.\n\nAfter you have hit your marker goals walk the rest of the 2 miles or do a combination of walking and running.  Just make sure you go the full distance.  You will start to see the finish line as something you strive for.  (you'll also see yourself trying to "end it" quicker :)\n\nWhen I first started out I thought it was going to take me a month before I got to the end, in actuality, it took only a couple of weeks.\n\nBest of luck!
