How long is a 12K run?

7.4-miles
The 12K (7.4-miles) features a beautiful out-and-back course beginning and ending at the Marathon finish and is the only race course that includes a loop inside the stunning Point Lobos State Natural Reserve.

Is running 10k impressive?

The world record 10K times are certainly impressive, but they’re also far from average. Joggers or casual runners will hit the finish line at a range of slower times, generally between 45 and 75 minutes, depending on their fitness level. That’s an average mile time of about 10 minutes, 32 seconds.

How long is a 13k run?

13.1 miles
A half-marathon is 13.1 miles or 21 kilometers. This is exactly half the distance of a full marathon (26.2 miles). It’s a good goal for runners who have already completed a 5K (3.1 mile) race or a 10K (6.2 mile) race and are looking for a new challenge.

Is 38 minutes good for a 10k?

Most runners who are reasonably fit and clock about 15 to 30 miles per week can expect to finish a 10K race in 50 to 70 minutes. More advanced runners will usually finish in about 43 to 50 minutes.

A 12K is just 2 kilometers, or approximately 1.3 miles, longer than the more popular 10K distance. While you might be tempted to wing it come race day, you’ll perform better and discourage injury if you’ve trained properly.

How can I train to run a 12K?

Adapt a basic 10K training plan to prepare you to run a 12K by adding just 15 to 20 percent more mileage to each run. For example, if one week of the plan calls for two 3-mile runs and one 6-mile run, make them two 3.5-mile runs and one 7-mile run to get ready for the 12K.

What is the best diet to train for a 12K?

You don’t have to follow a particular diet when training for a 12K, but consuming a healthy amount of carbohydrates — 45 to 65 percent of daily calories as recommended by the Institute of Medicine — lean proteins and moderate amounts of healthy fats supports a healthy body.
