re: If you are reasonably healthy, how fast should you be able to run a mile?

I would say depending on age:
20-30s: 6 minutes
40-50s: 7 minutes
and so on...
20-30s: 6 minutes
40-50s: 7 minutes
and so on...

If you aren't a runner I'd say a sub 10 minute mile would be a relatively good pace. If you run you need to be closer to the 8 minute mark.

it takes more than an average healthed, mid 20s person to run a 6 min mile....
this is not a "standard" time.

18-28 age, should be able to do a 7 min mile for 3 miles.
29-35 age add 5 mins
36 - 44 add another 5 mins
45 and over, walking is best.
These were The Marine Corps standards in the 1970's.
Was running 3 miles under 17 mins.

A six minute mile is hauling arse for most people.

3-4 miles at an 8-minute pace is pretty damned good. That's not competition level obviously, but you'd have to be in pretty good shape. As of about 5 years ago I could do three in 21:30 and that was probably the best aerobic shape of my lief. I've been trying for 4 in 32 for a while and seem to just hit some ceiling.

These are always good threads.
ULMPedro is the only fast guy on this board.
The rest of us are FOS.

Only time I have run in the past 12 years was on a dare, and I did 3 miles in 19 minutes. I blew chunks and was seeing stars after, but I did it
If you're old or fat, 8-10 minute miles are okay. Otherwise, nut up and push yourself

I ran a half marathon at an 11:00 pace. I was damn happy with that.
