Question

I'm just wondering, but for a 14 year old, is a 5:52 mile any good? Or is it below average, or just average?

Answer 1

are you a 14yr old girl or boy? are you training or just going out there and running a 5:52. Average if you are just joining the track team training once a week, having average practices, then running the mile, below average if you are training intensively, a boy and serious about the event.

Answer 2

A 5:52 is good and above average. Just getting under 6 minutes as a 14 yr old is great. for example i am a 15 yr old and i was olny able to get a 6:08 on my last mile run in early October.

Answer 3

For a 14 year old having a 5:52 mile time, I say it's pretty good.

Answer 4

Thats pretty good, depending on your training program. I mean, on our track team in high school you'd be slow- and we have fourteen year olds on our team. If you don't train much and you can run that, then its very good. I'm a varsity miler and without ANY training the fastest mile I ever did was 6:10. But that was without training. Overall, its average for a runner and very good in terms of the average population.

Answer 5

A really good time for a mile is under 4 minutes so 5:52 is not going to win any medals.

Answer 6

Not knowing the background of the runner I'd say in general terms a sub six mile is excellent. This runner won't hit their distance prime for another 14 years!

Answer 7

I think for your age this is really good...I don't know of anyone so far who can run that fast...but if you want to be WAY above average (ur already above) I'd say that running close to a 5 minute mile would be superb!

Answer 8

that's good but some girl( whos also 14) i kno can go about 20 seconds faster than u

Answer 9

You sound pretty fast to me, at least faster than most adults! I don't know how fast 14 year olds are but you have to remember you'll just get faster as you mature:)

Answer 10

thats a very good time. you still need to grow into your body and you will get stronger. just keep up the hard training and your times will come down soon.

Answer 11

thats AMAZING. i am in high school cross country and NO ONE on our team can do that.....that is a track coach's dream!!

Answer 12

its really good

Answer 13

thats reallly good..!
