[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How fast should their mile pace be? [/quote] Don't worry about that AT ALL. In fact, the training runs should be at a comfortable pace ... they just want to get used to covering the distance. The coach will introduce speed workouts, which will help them get faster over time. The team's times will depend a lot depending on the strength of the program and the talent and experience of the kids who show up. As a beginner, your kid might race the JV distance, which is just under 2 miles. That's a great way to get used to racing. The varsity distance is 3.1 miles. Boys can sometimes get in the 15:xxs, but the winners are usually in the 16:xxs, going all the way to 22:xx. Girls winners are usually in the 18:xxs, with most coming in under 24:xx, but there are still some newer runners who take more time. The joy is in watching yourself improve over the course of the season. [/quote]
