Frequently Asked Questions — 1500m Metric Mile (1.5 km) in 5 Min
What pace per km and per mile is needed for a 5-minute 1500m Metric Mile (1.5 km)?
To finish a 1500m Metric Mile (1.5 km) in 5 minutes, you must maintain an average pace of 3:20 per kilometer (5:22 per mile), which equals an average running speed of 18.00 km/h (11.18 mph) and 80 seconds per 400m track lap.
Should I run an even split or a negative split for a 5-minute 1500m Metric Mile (1.5 km)?
Exercise physiology studies show a 1% to 2% negative split (running the first half ~2–3 seconds per km slower than 3:20/km and accelerating in the final third) minimizes early lactate accumulation and glycogen depletion.
