mile time

Runner's benchmark pace

Mile time is how long it takes someone to run one mile, used as a standard measure of running fitness and speed.

Athletes track their mile time to gauge improvement: I got my mile time down to six minutes.

In school physical education, the timed mile is a common fitness test that students either dread or use to prove themselves.
