3.1 miles

[heydude110]

I recently went to a cross country meet and i had to run 3.1 miles and i ran it in 24:17, is that a good time?

Good time?
That depends on who your talking to.
if your talking to some1 that runs it in 20mins then no.

hove you ever run it before? - what was your time.

Who did you run with? - what was their time?

Well if you're talking to me thats a really good time!
I'd be so proud of myself i could run that fast for that long

Considering a mile run is anywhere from 5 - 10.
you ran an average mile of 8.056.. To me thats like 1-2 mins better good job

Are you in Track? What kind of training did you do for that meet?....Im starting after thanksgiving.

Was the course completely flat? A lot of cross country courses are purposely very hilly. If the course is hilly then you need to train on a hilly course as well.

To improve your time you need to run at least double that distance once a week, and varying shorter distances on other days. If you only run something like this:
M - 3 miles
T - 2 miles
W - 3 miles
Th - 2 miles
Fri - 6 miles
Sat - rest
Sun - rest

Or if you also strength train:
M - 3 miles
T - weight training
W - 3 miles
Th - weight training
Fri - 6 miles
Sat - weight training
