About This Quiz

Running a mile means different things to different people. If you're training to run short distances and have been working on your mile times, you might be able to go really fast and if you're in really good shape, you still might be able to do pretty well on a mile, even if you haven't been training at all. Then we have those who are more geared toward distance running than sprinting. They are all about the journey and want to take their time and watch the world go by. Finally, there are those of us that are maybe just a bit out of shape and have to really take our time and maybe walk a bit, which, of course, is totally fine. It takes training and hard work to get better at things, and, hey, at least you're out there doing it!

We have come up with a series of questions that we think will let us know where you're at when it comes to your mile times, so take this quiz and we will let you know how you would do. And don't worry, there aren't any hills to climb, but you do have to go past one ice cream shop. No stopping!
