You should be aiming for more than within it being

I too sometimes have mini strokes while replying friend :(

Why worry about a mile. You should be able to do 5k (3.3 miles).

Average? About 8:00. If you train for it? Better be sub 6:00 son. Sub 5:00 for beast mode.

All just personal opinion hereafter, but:
To get actually "fit" at running: run for length, then for time.
I've noticed as I've ran for length, my shorter distance times have gotten modestly better by default.
Pretty much you should be able to run 10 km non-stop, then 10 km within 40 minutes... to be anywhere near fit, excluding other training.
Even powershitters should be able to run a non-stop 10k within an hour.

If you run non stop you cant take more than an hour. People who cant run faster than 1 h dont run the whole way

>9:45 mile/hour non-stop is impossible
Granted the term "run" is loose in that statement, but anyone should be able to move 10 km at that pace, no problem, without slowing to a walk.
Pacing is implied.
The book "Daniels Running Formula" is a criminally under referenced book on this board. Almost every question I see asked with any regularity in /run/ threads here is answered in detail in that book, often with citations to research.
I would consider running a mile in 6 min preety fast. I'm sure serious runners would tell you that's not really impressive though.
