1) Does it take for a woman/girl to break 6 in the mile?
2) What about 5:45?
3) What about 5:30?
4) What about 5:00?
Obviously training and just running more races can help, but I swear I've been in the low 6's for a couple years now. I'm a junior in high school and I've run xc since eighth grade. I know women must at least have SOME talent to break 5 in the mile, right? No doubt do they work hard...
Yeah, it takes some talent, but working harder (and smarter) can facilitate progress, if positive adaptations are occurring.
Odd question. It isn't really measured by weight or volume. It is best described as a percentile of the population. I would say upper 20%.

A 5:00 mile for a women is roughly equivalent to a 4:20 mile for a man. Either requires a fairly high level of talent.
Do you know your best time for 200m? That would help guess what you might be capable of for a mile.
