how fast should i be able to run a mile
Use a run/walk approach. âA walk is defined as always having one foot on the ground at all times. A comfortably fast walk is around 15 minutes per mile. Running is defined as both feet leaving the ground at the same time. I donât believe in using the word jog,â says Kastor. âA newbie runner should be running faster than 15 minutes per mile. Shooting for 12 to 13 minute pace per mile would be a good range to start off with. That is of course with the walk breaks structured in.â. Start with a 3-minute run, then walk for 1 minute to recover.
