How fast can you run 2.4km (1.5 miles)?

[Zip]

Im interested to find out what is considered an Average time to do this in so please state the time you can run it in and what surface it was run on.

Post any hints and tips you have to help people improve their times too

I presume you are asking due to it being an army fitness test?



So 9:18 is the target to hit. Running at 10mph would give me a 9 minute time. I know I can run at 12mph for 0.5 miles, so it might be achievable. Might have to give it a try.

How'd you guess?

Although for the Australian Army but the times are a bit different.
Once i map out 2.4km around my town or local Footbal Oval ill post up what i can do.
After reading the results people posted so far im hoping to get somewhere in the 9s before i go in

Alright ive got 2 times that someone could use to let me know roughly how fast my 2.4km should be.

1.63km - 5:51min

2.83km - 13.51min (This felt real slow!)

Any help would be great

Gonna have to go to the local oval in the week and push out 2.4km as hard as i can.
