If I run a 18 flat 5k, what would be a good pace for the 2 and 1 mile?

Question

Just started track this year

Answer 1

Well, if you can run an 18 flat 5K, that is very impressive. But running a 1 or 2 mile can be very different.

My best 5k was 19:23, and my best 1 mile was 5:45. So, I guess if you could run like a 5:15-5:25, that would be a great start. Also, maybe shoot for around 10:30 for a 2 mile. But dont get discouraged if you dont get the times that you want right away since this is your first year.

Answer 2

Great time for a beginner.

I would think about a 5:10 for the mile and 11:25 for the 2mile should be doable this year.

Good luck
