A combination of sprint work and long distance runs, focusing mostly on long distance. The mile is a 70-30 race: it is around 70% aerobic (or run with oxygen) and 30% anaerobic (without oxygen), which means that aerobic workouts (ones that allow you to talk while doing them) are going to benefit you the most. However, you still need to be able to muster up some sprinter speed in the last 400 meters of the race, so you'll need to do some hard intervals near your maximum heart rate. It should take you a while to catch your breath after doing a sprint workout. Also, I would do some light strength-training and do some cross-training as well to keep the rest of your body sharp and primed for competition: a runner needs to be strong all-around, or he won't be able to keep his form late in the race.

Improving your mile time takes lots of practice and perseverance. A 6:15 to 6:40 mile time is a good starting point, continue to practice on various tracks and you will surely improve.
Practice practice practice. The more and longer you run, the better your 5k time will be.
The main key is to keep practicing your running. Make sure you are breathing right.
One mile=1760yds1600 mtr=1750yds......about 4min 42sec.If you are under 16YO. that's not too bad, you still have some years to improve. If you are over 18YO.don't give up your day job, just have fun.
250 mile equal how much time?
Get out and push 0.5 miles every mile driven and improve MPG 100%
yeah it is....i got a 6:32 for the President's Physical Fitness Test this spring and I'm twelve too....just keep running and you'll improve your time. you sholud try cross country and/or track to keep in shape and maintain a good mile time. Hope this helps! that's a good time. when i was 12 i had a 5:01 mile. Of course this was after a seson of modified XC and track. IF anyone had a better time when they were 12 id like to know. :D
5:48 is definitely above average for a mile time. An average mile time would be anywhere from 7-8 minutes.
the average time to run the mile in middle school is 9.58
A 'split' is the time it takes to run a portion of the race. Split times in the mile run are generally taken after 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile, and 3/4 mile and are used to determine whether the runner is on pace to finish the race in the desired time or in a record time.
the fastest mile time for 14 year-olds is 5 minutes and 59 seconds
