Question

what mph do i have to run to get a 5 min mile?

Answer 1

12 miles per hour



If you run 1 mile in 5 minutes means you have to run .2 miles per minute. (.2 miles per min X 5 min = 1 mile)



If you run .2 miles per minute for 60 minutes you would have run 12 miles. (.2 mpm X 60 minutes = 12mph)

Answer 2

You would have to run an average of 12 miles per hour, as there are 12 five-minute intervals in an hour.

Answer 3

You can't possibly run that fast, that long:

The world record is a little less than 10s for 100m, which is 36 km/h, which is about 22 mph. Eventhough your target is 12mph, you can't rally run that fast for that long
