There's a 0.4-mile loop here in the neighborhood that we call Fancy Houses. I went out on one of our lunchtime runs last week and ran it as hard as I could -- just under two minutes. That's a 4:32-per-mile pace, which was good enough to best my coworker (my goal for the day), but certainly not an elite time.

Later that afternoon, sitting at my desk, I realized that my 0.4-mile pace was pretty close to Patrick Makau's world-record marathon pace. If only I could hold on for another 25.8 miles, I'd have a new world record! Obviously, that's impossible. But it got me thinking... What if we took the times of runners who are really fast and translated them into other distances?

Patrick Makau set the men's marathon world record of 2:03:38 back on September 25, 2011 in Berlin. Although his achievement is amazing, that same pace would hardly be considered a good 100-meter sprint. Same thing with Paula Radcliffe's 2:15:25. At that same pace, their times in the following races would have been:

On the other hand, some simple math shows that Zersenay Tadese's half-marathon world record of 58:23 woud translate to a sub-2 marathon if he could somehow hold on for double the distance. Mary Jepkosgei Keitany has the women's record of 1:05:50.

How fast could you run a marathon if you were somehow able to hold your mile time for an extra 25.2? Or your 100-meter sprint pace? Would you be able to compete with the elites even then?

Note: All world records were gathered on June 20, 2013 from the IAAF website. Robert James Reese Robert is the former Executive Producer for Runner’s World Online. He has run over 60 marathons with a personal best of 2:52:11.

How many steps is 1 mile?

How many steps in a mile? An average person has a stride length of approximately 2.1 to 2.5 feet. That means that it takes over 2,000 steps to walk one mile and 10,000 steps would be almost 5 miles.

How many steps in a mile?

2,000 steps

An average person has a stride length of approximately 2.1 to 2.5 feet. That means that it takes over 2,000 steps to walk one mile and 10,000 steps would be almost 5 miles. A sedentary person may only average 1,000 to 3,000 steps a day. For these people adding steps has many health benefits. Wearing a pedometer or fitness tracker is an easy way to track your steps each day. Start by wearing the pedometer every day for one week. Put it on when you get up in the morning and wear it until bedtime. Record your daily steps in a log or notebook. By the end of the week you will know your average daily steps. You might be surprised how many, or how few, steps you get in each day. A reasonable goal is to increase average daily steps each week by 500 per day until you can easily average 10,000 per day. Example: If you currently average 3000 steps each day, your goal for week one is 3500 each day. Your goal week two is 4000 each day. Continue to increase each week and you should be averaging 10,000 steps by the end of 14 weeks.1
