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.
Set a target time. Running a mile should take new runners about 10 to 12 minutes. If you are running on a standard track, try to complete the first lap in around 3 minutes. A mile is 4 laps on a standard track. Completing each lap in around 3 minutes will give you a good pace for your mile.
