can someone explain running times, such as "he runs a 4:29"?

It means he or she runs a 4.29 mile / there mile pace. u can easily times it by distance to find out there overall pace.  4.29 mile is a good pace for short distance races and even better for a longer distance.

Distance = rate x time\n\nif you're going 8 feet per second for 4 seconds, you've gone 32 feet...

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

I would recommend interval running.  Start out at a pace you can comfortably maintain for, say, five minutes and then run as hard as you can for one minute, then carry on at your comfortable pace for 5, then beast it again for 1 minute etc etc...aim to do this every other run.  Your 'other' run should concentrate on endurance so run a set distance at a steady pace and watch your times reduce....hope this makes sense...it's hard to explain in type

Well if you're running 4 miles in 33 minutes that means that you're averaging around 8:15 per mile....which would also be the average per mile if you run 13 miles in 105 minutes.\nMy advice would be to 'up' the mileage in your runs each week.\nSo next week,say you run 5 times a week...M-W-F do your 4 mile run...and T-Th do 5 miles.Then the next week,M-W-F do the 5 mile run,and T-Th 'up' it to 6 miles...and so on for each week that follows.That way you're building yourself up.So once you find yourself doing the 13 miler in 105 min....your 4 milers should be a breeze,and you should be able to quicken your pace as well.\nHope this helps somewhat.God Bless!

For a compeletey new starter a good 100 time is 15 sec.200=35 sec. 400=2 min. 18 sec. 800=3 min 11 sec. Mile=7:30.

Basicly a lot of running. You need endurance in your legs.

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.

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'.

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.

In a 400, at a meet when you're going for time, this is how I have best been coached...you stride out (take long steps but maintain speed) the first 100-150.  Then begin to accelerate on the back stretch into the second curve, and flat out sprint the last 100-150.  If you become conditioned enough you will be able to sprint the last 200.  Of course at high levels it is a sprint the entire way, but not in most cases during high school.   Good times: for a guy in high school 43 to 47 seconds is really fast.  41-42 would possibly win state at a 5A meet. \ngirl: you're lookin at low 50's as a very good time, mid 50's also would take some meets.\n\n800 meter:  Guys: 1 minute 40 seconds give or take a few seconds\nGirls: right under two minutes is cruisin.

It depends on how fast you run/walk.  If you are doing a combo of running and walking, you can probably finish in 45 minutes or less.
