What speed do you need to run in KM to get under 9 minutes on a 1.5 mile run ?




Religion =


What speed in KM do i need to maintain to achieve this goal ?

Its for the Royal Marines and i need to test myself so make it accurate please. Thanks x
Thanks I Am me seems like the perfect answer :)



Answer
1.5 miles in 9 minutes would be 6 minute mile pace.
5 KM i know is 3.2 miles from cross country, so 2.4 KM is 1.5 miles, so to run 1.5 miles in under 9 minutes you would need to go


10 MPH = 16 KM/H, and 9 minutes for 1.5 miles is 10mph. So you need to run about 16 KM/H which would mean your 400 meter splits (6 of these total) should be about 90 seconds each to be 9 minutes.

This pace isn't that hard, if your pacing with a watch I would aim for 75 seconds or so, with a month - not even- of training you'll be able to keep this pace.

Just to show what his pace is like, a junior in my High School is able to run 2 miles in 9:16, so you should be able to do this no problem

Is Running too much bad?

I love to run. I run about 4 miles every day, and on occasion sometimes 3 miles. I run because it satisfies me a lot. Do you think it is going to harm me in the end in any way? For example: Health problems or bone injuries. Any answer is greatly appreciated!


Answer
Is running bad? No way, I love running long distances. It is something I can do and something I want to continue doing as long as I can. Like anything we can over do an activity that could leave us hurt or worse yet so injured we canât run.

Currently I run 5 days a week, my average run during the weeks is 5k, with a long run on Sundayâs. During the training season that goes from about January to October I run up to 60 â 70 km per week.

First, I donât train the way you race, you go easier and watch your packing. Second make sure you have good shoes and they are in good condition. Running shoes only last 400 miles so if you are running 30 miles a week that is only about 3 â 4 months.

Make sure that you take rest days, I take 2 rest days a week. In which I cross train, activities such as biking, elliptical, yoga, swimming and weight and strength training. So far everything is great and managed with few exceptions to remain more or less injury free.

So if things are good at your current level I say go for it. Take it easy when you need to. But most of all have fun. After all isnât that why we run.
