Title: 1 mile times Post by: Laszlo Otvos on June 13, 2008, 12:45:36 pm Our running club we'll host a 1 mile race in August and we would like to award running excellence with prize-money. The goal is to award folks who can break a certain time.
What do you think would be a decent time for almost all ages and abilities? It can't be too hard but it can't be too easy either. My opinion is 4:45 for guys and 5:15 for girls? Remember, end of August is off-season in Tucson. Any feedback? Thanks a lot!
