  I went to stay in Kissimmee, Florida in 2021-2022 to study sports management at the graduate level at American Public University.  It was where I focused on completing a 5k.  I ran a 5k from where I was staying to Fun Town.  I walked a lot to Fun Town and inside Fun Town.  At times, my mileage for walking was 14-17 miles for the day.  I would run one of those miles.   I would run a mile to McDonald's and then run back to where I was staying in Kissimmee.   I would walk many miles to the public library and back to where I was staying in Kissimmee if I could not catch a bus.  I had the unique opportunity to visit New York City the following year during the time I was studying intelligence management at University of Maryland Global Campus and ran a 5k at the Astoria Public Park Track at the end of my first semester.   I had a great time!

Is it the top 1% or less of females aged 57 who can run a pace of 5:34 for 10 seconds?  Yes, a 5:34 mile pace is an elite level of performance, and the percentage of 57-year-old females who can achieve this pace, even for a brief 10-second sprint, is far less than 1% of the general population. This pace is faster than the "sub-elite" benchmark for that age group.  ---  Google ,   AI Overview Yesterday, I ran of pace of 5:34.  The speed was 10.8 on 2 runs for 10 seconds for each run.

What is the true pace for the elite walking mile for a 57-year old woman? The "elite" or world-record pace for a 57-year-old woman in a one-mile race walk event is approximately a 7 minutes and 49 seconds per mile pace (or faster). This pace is derived from competitive event results, as specific mile records are often extrapolated from standard race distances like the 1,500m, 3,000m, or 5,000m.  For example, a prominent elite athlete, Michelle Rohl, has set multiple Masters American and World records in the 55-59 age group. Her performance in a 3000m race walk in 2024 (at age 59) was a record-setting 14:19, which translates to a pace of roughly 7:41 per mile. Another result from a 2021 competition shows a 57-year-old woman, Flor Chirino-Klevans, finishing an 8-minute race walk event with an average pace of 8:52 per mile.  --- Google , AI Overview
