I ran 2 miles for 12 min and 50 sec Is that good timing?

Question

My goal is 12 min I am having a tryout with a pro soccer team in january

Answer 1

pretty good, but I would go for better. My College's soccer team requires a sub 12 minute two mile, and we are not even that great. If you could still go another ten yards after you finished, then you can run it faster already.

Answer 2

Increase your mileage. It helps because if u can run let's say 6 miles w/no trouble than the 2 miles will be easier for u. But don't begin 2 run a lot of miles all of a sudden work ur way up slowly. Increase your mile every week or week & a half. U could probably also do speed work outs. For example 4 4x100. Start w/something u are comfortable with. Also set a time u want 2 run in, maybe 1:30 or 1:20. You'll probably want 2 run each mile in about 6 min. or less so then the lap should be anywhere 4rm 1:15 to 1:30I hope this helps u. Good Luck =)

Answer 3

yeah
im 1/4 mile = 20 min jk
2 miles = 40 min

Answer 4

pretty good for cross country...

for track, i ran a 12 min 30 sec
make sure that you are actually racing (it is still race), the 2 mile can be boring...

when i actually tried my guts out, i got 11 min 35 sec, i'm sure u can do that too :)

Answer 5

Do you think? You ran your *** off!! Good show! Not sure how you could manage it, but I'm checking the record books to see just how wrong I am for giving you props.

Answer 6

yes i can only run a mile in 9 minutes

Answer 7

Yea, that's pretty good. 6.5 minute miles is good cross country pace i think.

Answer 8

I depends on many factors: Age, weight, etc.

Answer 9

WOW! That is great! In my book your a great atlete!
