NYT: "average" 25 y/o can run 1.5 miles in 12 minutes
Poast new message in this thread
Date: July 1st, 2024 12:07 AM Author: spruce startling wrinkle LOL @ this fake news. i'd be surprised if the average 25 year old in america could even run 1 mile in 12 minutes without stopping. 8 minute miles is around what an average high school senior on the cross country team runs.

Getting your VO2 max estimate requires a little math. Take your distance (in miles), multiply it by 35.97 and then subtract 11.29. This is your VO2 max estimate. You can also plug your distance into an online calculator and compare your results against those in your age group. For instance, 1.5 miles in 12 minutes corresponds to a VO2 max of about 43. That would be an excellent score for a 65-year-old man, good at age 45 and average at 25. For a woman, a score of 35 would be excellent at 65, good at 45 and average at 25.

Date: July 1st, 2024 6:22 PM Author: Floppy deep dilemma Hard disagree.
Any non-fat high school kid should break 8 minutes. I think I ran an 8 minute mile in like 1st grade.
I ran like 6:30 in high school and that was like the top couple of kids in my gym class.
It looks like an actual cross country kid is hoping for 5 minutes and below... |

Date: July 1st, 2024 11:22 PM Author: spruce startling wrinkle LOL u guys are delusional when it comes to athletics. if you ran 5 minute miles, you'd be the national high school champion. if you ran 6 minute miles, you'd be Top 50 in a fairly big state like Pennsylvania. If you ran 8 minute miles, you'd qualify for states in most states. i bet you also think you could hit 10 HRs in a MLB season if you trained for a year.

Date: July 2nd, 2024 12:15 AM Author: Salmon chest-beating hominid pervert I am on the wrong end of 30s and probably 25 lbs overweight and drink too much but i do a thing every other day where i run 2 miles straight at a 7:03 pace (8.5 mph), then pause and walk for maybe a third of a mile, then run a mile at 7:30 pace, then slow jog whatever the rest of the way home is. Seems to do good for maintaining weight. If I stopped drinking I would lose those 25 easily. If the test is “can a 25 year old run a single mile in 7:00” then it’s really sad if the majority cannot.
