One large study found that, in a marathon, non-elite men were more likely than women to slow their pace throughout the race. In a distance run, pace is important. Pace, or the number of minutes it takes to run one mile or kilometer, can influence how fast you complete the run. For example, you might want to slow your pace down at the start of the run for the first few miles.
This may help you conserve energy to run the last miles strong. Elite runners may keep a more conservative pace at the beginning of an event, picking up speed toward the end. To figure out your average mile pace, try out this fitness test: Map out one mile on a flat surface near your home, or complete the run on a track in your area.
Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes. Time yourself as you run one mile. You can use this mile time as a speed goal for your training. As you build up speed and endurance, return to the one-mile loop every few weeks and repeat the timed mile.
Try to add only a few more miles to your weekly running schedule every two weeks as you build up speed and endurance. Many factors, including age and sex, can influence your running speed.
But increasing your fitness level and building up endurance can help you get faster. Fastest run one mile female. High school all-time top 10s - boys. Updated October 30, Track: Katelyn Tuohy breaks girls U. Published June 19, How does my 5k pace compare to others?

Mile Time Standards. But the mile requires a little bit of everything. The mile will make you a more well-rounded athlete," Willis says. Before jumping into a training program, you want to make sure you can complete a full mile without stopping, Willis says.
Once you've done that, you'll want to test yourself with a time trial — the fastest time it takes you to complete a mile. It might seem counterintuitive to add slower miles to your training, but the more you can go the distance, the faster your average mile time will get. When you have a baseline of your one-mile fitness, it's important to add endurance. When you go for longer, slower runs or jogs, the average pace per mile should be slow enough to allow you to have a conversation with a running partner, Willis explains.
You're going too fast and then it becomes a hard, strenuous run," he says. Hard, strenuous runs, he says, should only happen, at most, three times a week. For newbies, the jogging pace might be a walk-run: Run a mile at a conversational pace, walk a mile. Hudgins likes to use an effort scale with his clients when gauging pace. For example, easy runs should be about a three or four out of 10, with one being the easiest and 10 being maximum effort or in other words, feeling like you're going to throw up, Hudgins says.
You shouldn't be looking at your watch every 10 seconds. As you build your endurance, it's important to also increase your power and strength. Spending too much time on your landing creates immense pressure on the joints. Drills like barefoot running on soft surfaces, running backwards focused on light and quick steps, or kicking the heels to the butt quickly help you become light on your feet.
Spending too much time airborne in between steps makes you look like you are bobbing up and down. This inefficiency places greater strain on the joints when landing. Again, practice pushing back, extending the leg, and having an active pull upon impact, rather than bouncing up and off the leg. While running, the muscles of the posterior chain and core should be engaged throughout the stride. When many runners learn the push, extend, and pull method of the landing, they often become sore in the hamstring and gluteal muscles because they are not used to this muscle engagement during a run.
The same goes for sore calves and ankles when they learn the proper way to foot strike. This is why changing running technique should be done gradually. If conditioning is an issue, a combination of concentric and eccentric leg exercises will help add muscular strength, stability, and control.
Exercises to create a stronger runner include calf raises, reverse lunges, and barbell hip thrusts. Plyometric exercises like box jumps or jumping lunges are also fantastic for conditioning and develop explosive power. When working on plyometric exercises, it is important to not rush through them. Every rep should have maximum explosiveness and muscular contraction.
Do not do plyometrics to muscle failure.
