I have two months. how do I train myself to run 1.5 miles in 12 minutes from nothing?
Ok, here’s the plan.You’re going to run 4 days per week. Only two days will be back-to-back runs. Let’s call these days A, B, C and D.A: Long-and-slow day. You’re going to run 3 miles. If you cannot run the entire time, let yourself have some 30-second walks, then start running again. Your pace is whatever it is. Your objective here is to build stamina by running much longer than 1.5 miles. Stretch afterwards.B: Short-and-fast day. You’re going to warm up with a slow 1/4 mile jog. Walk for a bit, then you will run 1 lap as fast as you can. Walk for 3 minutes. Run 1 lap as fast as you can. Walk for 4 minutes. Do 5 fast laps this way. The 5th one will probably be a lot slower than the first one. That’s ok. Jog one lap as a cool down. Stretch.C: Long-and-slow day. Run 3 miles. Stretch.D: Weekly speed test. Time yourself running 1.5 miles. Push yourself. See how you do. Record your result. Walk for a few minutes. Run a couple more laps. Stretch.After about 3 weeks, this should be getting easier. Run farther on your long-and-slow days. Do 6 or 7 fast laps on your short-and-fast days. Eat a balanced diet and get plenty of sleep.When it’s time for your big run, rest up the day before the run.Comment on this answer if the plan works for you!
A train is running between two towns arrives 10 minutes late at 40 miles per hour ?
d = distance between towns in miles t = time of the first train in hours The distance is the same for both trains. The time of the second train is 16 - 10 = 6 minutes greater, or 6/60 hours, or 1/10 hours. d = 40 * t; t = d/40 d = 30 * (t + 1/10) = 30t + 3; t = (d - 3) / 30 d / 40 = (d - 3) / 30 3d/4 = d - 3 -d/4 = -3 d = 3/4 miles or 0.75 miles
How long would it take a half-mile train going one mile a minute to go through a two mile tunnel?
Two and a half minutes for the entire length of the train to pass through the tunnel. Ignoring the lenght of the train for a moment, the train is travelling one mile in one minute so it will take two minutes to travel through a two mile tunnel. But, you need to account for the fact that the train is half a mile long, the half mile of train will take a further half minute to pass through the tunnel. Thus making a total time of two and a half minutes.
Is two minutes a lap around a 1/4 mile long track well for Athletics?
I get two minutes a lap around a 1/4 mile long track and am wondering if that would cut it in Junior High Athletics in 8th grade. I have improved a bit since then, and another measurement is on a Ten & One I did in the gym i got finished in 45 seconds. For those of you that don't know a Ten & One is running ten times across a basketball court. I'm wondering how this would do in Junior High 8th Grade Athletics.
Hard Math Question!!! Two trains are on the same track heading straight f..........?
Assuming my math is correct, I believe 7 miles apart. 120 mph means 2 miles per minute. 4 for two minutes. 90 mph means 1.5 miles per minute. 3 for two minutes. 4 + 3 = 7. Sound right? Sorry about original response. It's late, my math is a bit off. And then I edit to fix it, and don't edit everything I should... Gah.
A mile long train, going 60 mph, enters a mile long tunnel,how long?
Let's assume time measurement was started when the front of the train just entered the tunnel. The train travels 1 mile per minute. In 1 minute: The front of the train just emrges out of the tunnel. The rear end of the train had just entered the tunnel. [ie. The whole train is inside the tunnel now; the front is just about to emerge out] In 2 minutes: The rear end of the train emerges out (ie. leaves) the tunnel. Now the train has completely emerged out. The front end of the train is 1 mile away from the tunnel.
