I think a better judge of fitness would be a 5k run and a 400m sprint.
The 5k shows your aerobic ability and the 400m shows your anaerobic capability. But back to your question: 8 min/mile is pretty good for someone who has zero practice at running. The key to getting faster is to understand that injuries from running can become severe, so you need to have proper rest and workloads. You are older and your tendons and ligaments aren’t as robust as a younger persons. |

8 minutes is steady pace, would expect that of anyone who is fit and has endurance down.
6 minutes is good 4 minute mile...well until the 1950s it was considered impossible. Olympic record is something like 3:30 but you would need wings |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Depends on what you mean by "good" for an abled bodied athletic man, under 5 minutes At the PEAK of my athletic ability as a college football player I could never do under 5, and could to 2 miles in just over 11. In my 40's now I'm happy when I'm in the 7s. For someone trying to just be in "good shape" under 5 is unobtanium. For someone that is a bona fide runner, yeah, under 5 is a great goal. Most of us people in "good shape" likely never get there. |

Just as a guideline - here is the current US Army standard for the 2-mile run. These are the times for a 100 point perfect score (male) on the 2-mile run for each age range :
AGE TIME 17-21 - - 13:22 22-26 - - 13:27 27-31 - - 13:31 32-36 - - 13:42 37-41 - - 13:58 42-46 - - 14:05 47-51 - - 14:30 51-56 - - 15:09 57-61 - - 15:28 62+ - - 15:28 |

In HS we ran 3.5 miles in 30 min. Everyone could do that even the linemen. I never tried going any faster as I truly hated running long distances. Today the wife and I walk a mile every day. Not much value to it other than retaining our flexibility and just staying active. Of course I'm older than dirt so I'm good with it.

THe question is really subjective. But f you want to win a one mile race (which are few and far between) you need run a sub five. Heck, if you want to win your age group you need to run a sub six. If you just want to talk shit at the office just running at all puts you ahead of most folk. Don’t worry about what’s good or bad. Just run.
Advice. Sign up for some 5k (3.1miles). You will not win, not even your age group. At least not at first. But the competition is a motivator. Knowing you have a race coming up motivates you to get out and train. Advice. Join a local running club. Don’t worry, our local club has runners from 6 min to 16+ minutes per mile. All support each other and we drink beer afterwards. Being in a group also is a motivator. Advice. Keep at the weights. Lower body workouts will keep the injuries at bay. |

(4 minute mark was broken in 1954).FWIW, I own 2 pairs of shoes based on/inspired by what Roger Bannister wore, when he became the first man to break the 4 minute mile. |

Quoted: Former smoker, quit in Oct. of 2021. 43 years old and haven't run a mile since middle school Jumped on the treadmill yesterday and ran a mile in 10 minutes and didn't really get winded. So I pushed today and ran one in 8 minutes. It was a little more intense today but just started sweating when I was done. Just looking for some guidance here on good average times for my age. And should I be pushing for more than 1 mile per day? My goal is to build up endurance and lose a little weight. If your goal is to build endurance, and lose weight you’ll want to run more than one mile. Run for time, not distance. If you can’t run then walk, but finish the time and work on building endurance until you CAN run the whole time. Someone who runs for 2 hours might not think running for less than 6 minutes is endurance. |

I’m 58 and in pretty good condition. Superb for my age. 8 minute miles are comfortable but I never run only 1 mile at a time. I can push to 7 but that’s uncomfortable and I’m higher risk for injury due to my age.
That being said, there are kids at most high schools in the country that run sub 5 minute miles. There are even HS kids breaking 4. Population is getting taller (and faster) with every generation |

Fuck, I wasn't gonna run today since I lifted yesterday but now I have to. On my best day on a trail with a few hills, I can get close to 7 minutes. My PR since I got back into running was 7:40 on a treadmill back in December. I started again back around last July and have logged 471 miles since then averaging 9.1 per week. I spent all winter lifting weights and bulking up and my running reflects that now. My last 5 mile trail run on march 30, I ran the first mile at 8:22 and finished the five at 51 minutes and 3 seconds. I'm kinda hesitant to start running heavy again though cause I don't want to kill all my gains. I'm almost 52 years old btw.

I think if someone can manage a pace faster than a 10 minute mile for 5 miles, that is above average and requires a certain amount of fitness to achieve. It seems like a lot of runners average in the 7-8 minute per mile pace for runs of 3 miles or more, and they could probably do a single mile in less than 7 minutes. A sub 5 minute pace to be considered fast is ridiculous.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'll play! This is from a turkey trot last year (38 years old), chip time 17:58. Sub 5 is absurdly fast. With maybe one or two exceptions, the only people I know who can do that are or were competitive runners in high school and/or college. ETA: Every single person who finished ahead of me in this race was s current or former high school or college runner. Even when I ran the time below hitting 5:14 (considered an "equivalent" time) would have been extremely difficult. I'm in pretty great shape now but am training for a really long race, and without doing workouts focused on top-end speed a 5:20 mile would be tough. @Nobody69s for what you're wanting completely disregard "fast" for a while. Focus on running longer distances at an easy, conversational effort. If you can't say several lines without taking a breath of air you're running too hard. Yes, it'll be "slow" but it builds your aerobic system up, which allows you to run both further and faster down the line. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/250323/Screenshot_20230407_084456_Connect_jpg-2773537.JPG |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Depends on what you mean by "good" for an abled bodied athletic man, under 5 minutes Dude, under 5 minute mile “good”? No, that’s elite level running. When I was active duty Infantry and ran for PT almost every day, I could run the two mile test in 12 flat. That was a pretty good time, and only a few in my unit could beat that. We are taking young, in shape guys here and I don’t remember one running under a 5 minute mile. As far as the original poster’s question, I think under 8 minute mile is good for the average person. |
