right ive had trouble working this out am not sure if im missing somthing here

right a running track
i need to run round the track 6 times to do 1.5 miles worth of running

i have 9 mins 30 seconds to do this run in could some one help me

i need to know have many minutes i have each lap to maker the 1.5 mile in 9mins 30

cheers
conor

 

95 secs a lap so 95 x 6 laps = 570 secs
570secs/ 60 secs a minute= 9.5
i think

 

9.5 divided by 6 = 1.583 mins per lap, = 1m 34.98s or 1m 35s.

Rick

 

yeah sorry 1m 35s a lap
i complicated things the way i typed it but 1m 35s a lap

 

as said 1m 35 seconds

 

you going into the police

 

rite how does it work when u try and add up 1min 35sec by 6 it never works out at 9mins 30 secs or is that just me haha.

and no paras mate good guiess though

 

when i joined i did it in 7m52....

training on a track mate your not doing yourself justice get out in the sticks over proper terrain with a rucksack 30kg in and build those legs then when it comes to your mile and half you will have no drama`s attall.

also you want to be aiming alot quicker tbh mate. if i can remember right the pass mark was 9min11 but if you was strong on your back pulls it gave you an allowence to 9min30. iirc..

 

beause you doing it and the calc adds up to 100 not 60

 

its to do with the units you are working in mate, ie:there are 60 seconds to a minute not 100 as in a decimal so:

1.5 min =1 min 30 seconds
1.8 min= 1 min 48 seconds

or if you were to take 35 seconds X 6 = 210 seconds divide by 60 = 3.5 mins (3 minutes 30 seconds) add the 6 x 1 minutes to 3.5 minutes gives you 9.5minutes (9 minutes 30 seconds.)

hope this helps

 

Because you firstly need to find out what percentage of a minute 35seconds is, so you do 35/60 = 0.5833333333. So 1.583333333 x 6 = 9.5

 

lol, i hope theres not a maths test involved in the recruitment process.

 

haha no jsut got a little confused cheers for the help guys and its not a track persay on the pavment but a claculated route of 1.5 miles.

once again cheers for all the help guys

Good luck with it mate.

 

i really need to test my brain more; i struggled to do that at first glance!

 

haha sorry mate new keyboard smaller buttons
see i can type

 

You need to factor in the depletion of your energy.

The average lap time would be 1m35 but you will prob need to do the first few laps a lot quicker to take into account the fatigue.

BUT...

In all honesty I am 29 and do no phys but I'm not a chubber and I could run a mile and a half on the flat round a track in the time you have said no probs.
