How long does it take a man to run 0.5 miles?

Answer: on average it takes a man 2 minutes and 42 seconds to run 0.5 miles.

This assumes an average running speed of 5.41 minutes per mile which is the typical running pace for a man over 0.5 miles.

At half a mile, runners enter the transition zone between sprinting and middle distance. This challenging distance requires sophisticated energy system development and tactical awareness. Athletes must balance initial speed with sustainable pace, making it an excellent test of both anaerobic and aerobic capacity. Training emphasizes speed endurance and lactate tolerance while developing the aerobic system for sustained effort.
