Ford, Volkswagen and Porsche, for example, recommend oil changes every 10,000 miles. So does Toyota on several engines, including the Prius' 1.8-liter four-cylinder and the Camry's 2.5-liter four-cylinder. BMW says owners can go up to 15,000 miles between oil changes (with synthetic oil).
âHighâ fitness women ran the mile in nine minutes or less; âmoderateâ fitness women ran it in 10 minutes and 30 seconds or less and âlowâ fitness women needed 12 minutes or more to complete the mile. Run for Life states that a 10-minute mile rate is good for beginners; the goal is to complete 3 miles in 30 minutes. If a 10-minute mile rate seems out of reach, start with a 12-minute rate and then work downward.
You'll see that finishing times for a 5K span a very wide range because there's usually a mix of experienced, fast runners and beginner runners and walkers. The winning male may run the 5K course somewhere between 13 to 15 minutes and the winning female may run it in the 16 to 19 minute range. Some walkers may take over an hour to finish. Most people feel good about finishing in the 20 to 25 minute range (6:26/mile to 8:21/mile pace).
