how much is 500 yards in running distance?

Question

Is 500 yards in 2 minutes and 20 seconds too much for someone who is not very athletic but not too unphysically fit (just an average person)?

Answer 1

500 yards in 2:20 is the equivalent of a mile in a little over 8 minutes. You'll be huffing and puffing when you're done, but you should be able to do it.

500 yards is once around a regulation track-and-field track PLUS another quarter-lap.
